I'm bad with numbers so am taking a pass on early morning number puzzlesπ€£ Thanks for the interesting Substack info. I am always drawn to both read and write shorter pieces. Sometimes I feel like it makes me a lame writer but I'm being realistic.
The plastics situation is huge, difficult, and sad. One example that has been in my face is I love berries and it's berry season so I eat a lot. Because the berries in BC are not ready yet this means I am buying these horrible plastic containers much more often than I like. Sure, I recycle them but the fact that they exist is disturbing. This coming from a hypocrite who now goes to buy more berries....sheesh. For the record I try to avoid those containers as soon as there are local berries but still.

"...In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the U.S. was home to hundreds of piano makers. There are only 3 left in America..." I had no idea there were so many piano companies! I wonder what made them all disappear - WWII, maybe?
The Dead Sea was alive before Chuck Norris swam there.
The Great Depression of 1929 had a devastating impact on the piano industry, according to Family Piano Co. Many factories, including those in Canada, were unable to survive. Some merged with the larger ones. Another source claims that the decline is attributed to factors such as the rise of competing technologies like radio, sound films, and video games, as well as globalized production and foreign competition.
Thanks for the brain teaser! 16, 3, 2, and 1.5). Didn't need the square root at all (haha!).
I've been using the Celsius conversion for years. Interestingly, it doesn't work that well in reverse xΒ°F - 30 / 2. A few degrees off in Celsius is a much bigger difference than in Fahrenheit.
Great to see your comments, Samaara! When we were in school, up until 1975 we used the imperial system too. I still use pounds for weight, and feet/inches etc for size. I understand both systems for temperature. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―.

Thanks for the great info Paul.
You are welcome! Always nice to hear your thoughtful comments!
Yes! I made 10 in 20 seconds or so, surprising myself....
I did it differently:
16 X 1.5 = 24
24/3 = 8
8 + 2 = 10
Extra points for showing your work!

That's a Curious Mind Blowing Fact right there. I think it was actually, "Jesus Christ, what are you doing in that cave, bro?"

Enjoyed your Chuck joke!
Pigment of the imagination was solid!

Fascinating plot twist there...didn't see that one.
