What Is It Wednesday --- The Change

Here is a video of my spare change jar --- how much money is in it? I will keep the comments turned on this week...just don't be fooled by the guesses of those before you as they may be way off!

What Is It Wednesday --- The Boxes

Well, we offically began the process of moving. We decided that we would completely empty out our spare bedroom and move everything into the living room and as things get packed we will label them and move them back into the spare bedroom. I knew it would motivate Jen to move quickly if the living room looked like a complete mess (which you'll see on the video that it does!). Your question is simple --- how many boxes are currently in the living room (see video below).

P.S. I turned on comment moderation until Thursday afternoon so you won't be able to see other people's guesses until then. So don't be waiting to see what other people say (cause you won't see it)...just post your guess!

What Is It Wednesday --- Final Exam

Well, tonight is my final, final exam and I will graduate again with my second degree with a Master of Divinity. I've taken a total of 46 classes. That's 1,380 hours of sitting in class or 82,800 minutes or 4,968,000 seconds (but who's counting?). I've also written about 1,610 pages of papers or about 402,500 words or about 2,012,500 letters (but again, who's counting?).

So you question this week is simple --- What is my final GPA?

Scale runs from a 0.00 to a 4.00 --- Post your answer to the nearest hundredth (example: 3.23). Just so everyone is in the same ballpark, those who were here for my first graduation knew I graduated with honors which means my GPA was somewhere between a 3.70 and a 3.90. At that time I had finished 80% of my classes, so the final 20% of classes I took after that may have tipped it slightly above or below that range, but it would be a pretty safe bet to guess somewhere in between. Good luck!

What Is It Wednesday --- Bowling

This week's question you won't be able to find on the Internet! Last Friday, Jen and I decided to go bowling. Neither of us have bowled since we moved to Ashland, so its been quite a few years! We decided to video tape just our very first rolls and also our final scores for this week's question. So this question has the opportunity for 4 points:

1) How many pins did Jen get on her 1st roll?
2) What was Jen's final score?
3) How many pins did Mike get on his first roll?
4) What was Mike's final score?


Here is a video to help you out...

So your answers in the comment section should look something like this:

Jen - 7 pins/102 total

Mike - 6 pins/111 total

You can get a point for each of us for getting the exact answer for how many pins we knocked down on our first ball each, and whoever gets closest to Jen's final score will get a point and whoever gets closest to my final score gets a point.

What Is It Wednesday --- The Next Number

This Week's Question:

What number comes next in the following sequence:

3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, ?

Post your guess (1/2 point) and explanation (1/2 point). So even if you are totally clueless, at least take a shot it the dark! The correct answer and explanation will be posted Friday.

What Is It Wednesday --- Three Gals Eyes

ANSWER FROM LAST WEEK:

Answers to "What Is It Wednesday" are now posted on Fridays, so please visit last Friday's post to see last week's answer.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

Pictured below are 3 well-known women (I have no doubt everyone reading this will know them when the answers are revealed). Just number 1-3 in the comment box and put in your guesses. I took away all the possible cheats this time, so there is absolutely no possible way anyone will get them all this week! Make sure you have your answered posted by Thursday night because the winner(s) will be announced Friday morning. Here they are...

1)

2)

3)

What Is It Wednesday --- Three Guys Eyes

This weeks question: VERY challenging...below are the eyes of 3 famous men (I have no doubt that everyone would know these men). Your only hint is they are all still living. In the "comment" section, just number 1-3 and provide the names for each set of eyes. If anyone can get 1 right I'll be impressed, 2 and I'll be amazed, and all 3...you better start playing the lottery!!! You can copy someone else if you think they are right, but it is very unlikely that anyone will get them all. Here they are:

1)

2)

3)

What Is It Wednesday --- The Phone Call

THIS WEEKS QUESTION:
Wes has two daughters. One lives in Ocean City NJ on the east coast. The other lives in San Diego on the west coast. Both of them love going to the beach. When they talk on the phone, they always have a 3-hour time difference (eastern standard time vs. pacific time since they live on opposite coasts). However, one day his daughters were both at the beach (one literally standing on the west coast and staring at the Pacific ocean, the other literally standing on the east coast and staring at the Atlantic ocean) and talking to each other on the phone when they suddenly realized it was 2:00pm for both of them. How?
--------------
This is based on a true story from one of my friends (though I changed it slightly), and there are no "trick answers"...this really happened...Jen, you are banned from the question this week since you heard about it.

What Is It Wednesday --- Temperature

On Wednesdays, I am planning on asking a single question for people to try and answer. I may post a distorted picture and ask what you think it is...might be a math question...could be a riddle...etc. Everyone can post their guesses/answers or ask questions in the comment section. Then the following Wednesday I will post the answer/winner (if anyone got it right) as well as a new question. Not sure if this will work well or not (or if people are interested), so even if you have no clue what the answer is to this week's question but like the idea of trying out a new question next week, at least make a comment like, "I have no idea" so I know you are at least thinking about it!

Since this weekly blog idea may be short-lived, I am going to start out with a tough question. So here it is...good luck!

Today it is 0 degrees Celsius outside. Tomorrow it will be twice as cold as it is today. What will the temperature be tomorrow?
