September 2009, by Pete | 39 Comments – latest by frankieOur work is nearly done for the day. All that’s left is question 54, which also includes question 54.5. Read on, and all will make sense….
Domicile03, Guin’s Favorite
When the mice got here they were pretty excited by the variety of fauna on the islands, like so many people are. They were completely overlooking the beauty of the rocks themselves of course, but I can forgive that. To be honest, even I have my favorite animal here. And, as expected, Ray, Sam, and Nick each picked a favorite animal too.
The animals we picked, in order of increasing size, were: the frigatebird, the land iguana, the seal, and the tortoise.
Ray’s favorite animal is smaller than Nick’s. …Continue reading this article…

Domicile03, Sus’s Observation
Sus, peering through her high-powered microscope, saw a beam of white light shooting straight at her from the heavens. It did not curve, it did not bend, but shot unerringly toward her the lens of her microscope. Hurriedly, she began assembling some items she might need when it arrived.
QUESTION: In which of the three images depicting Rod, Grant, and Blaise’s path are the horizontal lines actually parallel?

Question 51 in our cryptic quiz: “Three is the magic number”
September 2009, by Pete | 31 Comments – latest by danielMOO is still wide awake in the USA (especially as we didn’t get to go to the party!) so for those of you who aren’t tucked up in bed:
Domicile03, Erin’s Dilemma
If this were a reality show, I’d be in a closet talking to a camera right now. I’ve always lived alone because it makes it so much easier to deal with certain… quirks I have. For example, I became a mycologist because I see mushrooms everywhere. That doesn’t mean I’m simply good at spotting mushrooms, but that I see mushrooms in places where no mushroom has a right to be. I wish I had some way of showing you the world through my eyes.
Question 50 in our cryptic quiz: “Three is the magic number”
September 2009, by Pete | 24 Comments – latest by ClareWow, number 50! In marriage terms, we have reached our golden anniversary. Lots of hard work, but I am sure you will agree, lots of great rewards too? Anyway, down to business:
Domicile03, Guin
I was happy to help out my cousins, distant though they were, but if they thought they were getting a free vacation, they were sadly mistaken. I’d been trying to get at a particular area of exposed rock to take some measurements and the local wildlife hadn’t been at all cooperative. I could temporarily lure them into large pens, but if I wasn’t careful with their placement, they’d run riot and break out–making it impossible to safely examine the traces of weather.
I had four …Continue reading this article…

Domicile03, Sus’s Search
As an astronomer, Sus spends a lot of time searching the skies for new objects and events. In fact, she lives in her own observatory, with a gigantic telescope jutting through a hole in her roof.
Today, as she checks the usual night-sky objects off her list, she notices a new pattern. There’s something new amongst the asteroid belts and planets. Something new that’s comprised of three elements. Excitedly, she focuses the lens and watches as it speeds towards the earth.
