Happy Halloween!

The game(s) I have linked to the title are addictive, let's just get that out front. I have been letting the morning tutoring kids play these, most of them come just to have a safe, quiet place to be in the morning to let their brains wake up. They actually are good for students though since they should keep track of what happens as the game progresses. The one called "Cube" is the current favorite. If you know about permutations from your algebra class, this one has 10 possible factors which have to be in the right order. Now let's multiply! 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2 will get you the number of possiblities you may have to go through to solve this little gem. To keep you from losing brain cells, the first three objects are man, water, tree thingies. The last two are ball and spring.
My current favorite is in the second list on the left side. Look for movie puzzle. The object is to put the square back together. You've done puzzles like this before where the pieces are all the same (in this case, square.) You may not have done one where the picture keeps moving.
The fellow who makes these puzzles and games gets email and comments from all over the world. Are you surprized? His home site is www.eyezmaze.com Well worth just looking at his web design. Japanese fellow. Oozing brains.
have fun and don't forget to go to bed tonight!
