One way I had initially planned to update this blog regularly was to add a few words of encouragements weekly. Starting this week I will post at the beginning of the week a few words, less than ten, that I hope to be encouraging. I will also add a challenger or riddle to help keep Mr. Alzheimer at bay. In addition, at the start of each weekend I plan to add a new statement or quote to focus our thoughts on things other than work.
For the first part of this week I hope these less than ten words below will be an encouragement to a few of you.
Even tiny personal improvements are victories!
And here is the challenger. The date this coming Wednesday can be written as 12/12/12.
First, calculate or guess when the next time will be that the date may be written that way.
And if you were to place the multiplication mark between the numbers instead of the slashes, how much would you have to add to the product to make 133 bakers’ dozens?
If you mean the next time you can write the date that way using 12’s, then it would be Dec. 12, 2112. But if you mean being able to use the same number (not necessarily 12) in all three spots then I suppose it would be Jan. 1, 2101.
You would only need to add 1 to make 133 bakers’ dozens.
How did I do? 🙂

You did just fine on both counts. I did mean when next the date could be written 12/12/12. That’s one hundred years from now/
