Updates...

well, a lot has changed already since yesterday, and Steph keeps asking me for the solution to the puzzle, so here it all is :)

First of all, I am happy to announce that for the first time in 7 years, I will not be moving this year! Can you believe it?! My parents are going to be so happy when I call them and tell them they don't have to come down in March for the annual affair! This is all thanks to my misunderstanding the original offer and to my friendly negotiating with the apartment manager, who is allowing me to sign a lease for only $16 more than what I'm paying this year. woohoo!

Next, I should have done some serious knocking on wood yesterday, because last night my upstairs neighbors came home. booooooooooooo. pans are already clanking all over the place. Someday I will build up the courage to ask them what they're actually doing up there...

I should also note that my baked mac & cheese turned out just as wonderfully as expected. And vodka sauce STILL kicks ass :Þ

And last but not least, here is the puzzle and the solution:


Question:
What row of numbers comes next?
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221


Answer:
The next row is
1113213211
Starting with the second line, every line describes the line before it. In writing, it is:
One One
Two Ones
One Two One One
etc.

GROAN! I was so mad when I read this. Guess I'm not the stellar puzzle solver I thought I was. But thanks to riddlenut.com for the amusement :)

k back to the daily grind. Thank god we get paid tomorrow! hehehe. k later all.
