Hint for Brain Teaser 2

I don't know how many looked at the Brain Teaser and decided it was to hard or maybe it would take to much time. Sorry for that, I had intended this to be fun not a torture test!

To begin to make things somewhat easier the sentence in the block is:

Consider this three three five four four three five five four three six six eight eight what is the next numeric in series

This represents a "linear series mapping" although to many this is meanliess then this hint is for everyone;

............... .....99 maps to ten....

Guys, Gals, you can do this. All winners today will have the opportunity tomorrow for an 'easy winner take all' teaser.

Here we go. There was a farmer working in his cornfield one day when a Scientist stop at his fence to ask him a question. He asked, "Does the air temperature have any effect on the sweetness of the kernels when the corn is picked and cooked?" The farmer answered, I don't know! Then the farmer, turned to the Scientist and asked, "Is it possible that some temperature somewhere in the world when measured using the Fahrenheit Scale would have the same value if measured using the Centigrade scale? The Scientist said, I don't know but I will find out. When the Scientist got back to the farmer, what was his answer, Yes or No? and if it was Yes, what temperature would that be??????

I have posted the answer and the winner as a comment. If you want to test your brain then don't read the comments until later.

FUN at BEAR LAKE

Once upon a time we gathered together for a fun filled day at Bear lake. The SUN was bright but the air was cool and the water was a balmy 64 degrees.

Crash Stevens

Although we did not take a picture, this is what happen to me last night while trying to get Pete (the Dog!) back into the garage before the family left for a bike ride to Lundstrom Park and a yummy picnic supper. My first crash since taking up bike riding last year. How this happen is a mystery but we finally corralled Pete and got him into the garage. I bent my glasses, bruised my cheek bone and my eye and develop a road rash on my kneecap like the two Luke has. It turned out to be a great night but my young, ever young body was aching when bed time came.

Independence Day _ 2008

4th of July - 4th of July - 4th of July - 4th of July

Today was America's 232 birthday. I love our freedoms and our country. I know it is a choice land above any other land and that Heavenly Father prepared this Land for us today. I love the American Flag, it invokes feelings of joy and happiness. Its Stars and Stripes make it serene, elegant, and strong all at the same time. Since I was a little boy I have loved the looks of this flag even when I did not understand want it met to be patriotic. I love patriotic songs, marching songs and songs that invite brotherhood and peace. Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" is one of my favorites. "God Bless America", "America the Beautiful" and "This Land is your Land" are also a few. Our National Anthem, "Star Spangled Banner" stands supreme. It is a great story about how Francis Scott Key came to write this special song.

Today we had a family hot dog roast. We did not eat until 8:30PM and we built a fire in our fire pit, ate hot dog and samore's. The kids went swimming in their 6 foot by 10" high pool. Luke is a water magnet. He is into the water in 2 seconds when he sees it. We are thankful for the holidays and the freedom to choose how we celebrate our freedoms.

I just want to say I am proud to be an American and I thanked the Lord for this blessing often. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and that you remembered what our founding fathers went through to make us the nation we are today.

Where on Earth is 'Wall E'

You would think taking a very active two-year old to the movies would be a test of courage, stamina and patience. The family, all 10 of us (Bryan and Natalie + 4, Heidi +1, Gramma and Grampa), went to see the new animation movie, 'Wall E'. The movie is about this robot, 'Wall E' that was left on the planet earth to clean up after some problem that contaminated the Earth, whichI miss watching the movie. 'Wall E' is very ingenious and does his work faithful everyday until a spaceship brings an android 'EVE' that is taking picture of earth to see if it is safe to return. When the spaceship returns for the android 'Wall E' gets on board and travel back to the Mother Ship. Ultimately 'Wall E' falls in love with 'EVE'. How do machines fall in Love, maybe that is true artificial intelligence? The movie was very entertaining, I recommend it but I won't give away anymore of the plot so lets get back to the main point of this blog, the everlasting active, very active two year old, Luke.
When the movie started he was completely enthralled with 'Wall E'. During the whole movie he kept calling 'Wall E' by name and wanting to know why he was doing things. He sat there for two hours, can you believe two hours on Grampa's lap! I did not think a very active young man could be still that long. I think the secret is to have a jumbo popcorn next to him and quickly refill it once. He would watch the movie call for 'Wall E' and then eat a few rounds of popcorn. I bet he ate a whole jumbo popcorn by himself. It was great fun and I am looking forward to two great animation movies coming later this year. One at Thanksgiving and One at Christmas, watch for the trailers and remember to take the kids, even the young kids but have plenty of popcorn!!!!!!!!!
