Welcome to The Newsstand board! If you are not aware of what The Newsstand is, you can get caught up by going to the pinned post on this board. I am not an editorial person, nor a person who would know where to start on keeping you all informed. I still read the local newspaper each day to get my news and listen to an AM radio talk show. Instead, I will be posting a couple brain teasers 2x a week. Post the correct answer and win 1k in-game! You can either respond with the answer or download the images and write on them to respond. Happy solving!

In this maze, start on the black circle in the top-left corner and end on the black circle in the lower-right corner as you follow these rules:
1. Move from cell to adjacent cell up, down, or sideways but never diagonally.
2. The cell you move to must contain the same shape (square or circle), the same shading (black or white), or both the same shape and the same shading as the one you're currently on. For example, if you're on a white circle, you can move to an adjacent cell containing a white circle, a black circle, or a white square.

Heh... silly mazes...

(Start)BC R WC R WS D BS R BS U BC R BC D WC R WC D WS L BS D BS D WS L BS D WS L BS L BC L WC D WC R WS R WC R BC R WC R BC(Finish)
BC = Black Circle
WC = White Circle
BS = Black Square

Great job! 1k!

A changeover is a pair of words like WRATH and WATCH in which a letter in the first word moves to a position later in the word and changes to a new letter to form the second word. Here, the R moves and changes to a C. In each row below, the clues lead to two 5-letter words with a changeover. Write the letter-change pair (such as R C in the example) in the boxes in the center. When you're finished, read the two columns formed by the letter pairs to see how you may have solved this puzzle.

Circus performer __ __ Genetic duplicate
Pay a call on __ __ Panoramic view
Book-lined room __ __ Like good dishwater
Bronze medalist's finish __ __ Exhausted

Four playing cards, one of each suit (a red heart, a red diamond, a black club, a black spade), lie in a row on a table. They are a Jack, a Queen, a King, and an Ace. Using these clues, can you determine the cards and their order?
1. The Queen is somewhere to the left of the red Jack
2. The Ace of clubs sits between two cards of different colors
3. The diamond is somewhere to the left of the heart
4. The King is not the diamond, and is not next to the Ace.

Place the digits 1 to 9 into the empty cells so that the three rows across and three columns down form correct arithmetic statements. All calculations involve only positive whole numbers and should be performed from left to right and top to bottom, ignoring mathematical order of operations. A starting hint will be provided on Thursday.

Starting on a letter in the longest row, spell out a 10-letter word going from letter to adjacent letter -- horizontally, vertically, diagonally -- as you use every letter in the grid once. Then, rearrange the 10-letter word into two 5-letter words that begin and end with the letters shown in rows at the bottom. What are the words?

Not quite. The answer will be a whole number! Start by adding both numbers in each ratio to get your ratio pair. Then find a common denominator!

Quote from: Nicadean33 on Mar 01, 2023, 07:24 PMHint for Wednesday Brain Teaser:

Since the feud is rectangle, the two answer prices will have 180 degree rotational symmetry. Start by filling in the symmetrically opposite letter for each P and Q given in the grid.

Do you have more hints?

I do not unfortunately, as any more would really give away the answer :(

Remember that they are symmetric, meaning you will have the exact same shape twice!

This is such a great idea! Over the years I have played on so many different computers, and my last computer died on me and I never recovered anything unfortunately :(

The only old SFT picture I have is after I gave Fridge of Death a cosmetic update. Miss some of the old w3 events, but the news look great :)

Quote from: Pritis on Feb 28, 2023, 10:00 AMI was originally shadowjb123 and then Mojang made the mistake of giving indecisive people the ability to change their name free of charge and I've since gone by Cierinal_, Dordly, panzerkopf, ElzieDG/lzdg, Nydsmeil, iratefrog, etc etc. but I've finally settled on Pritis. You're most likely to see me in game but I do check forums on occasion :). I joined sometime in summer 2011 when I was a little guy. Makes me happy to see all these old faces. :heart:

Glad you've been back Pritis! Over 10 years of commitment!
