I have something very important to tell you.
This isn't like my normal posts.
Every single day, approximately 26,700 people around the world die from cancer.
Behind every number is a person.
A family.
A story that deserves more time.
I'm raising money for the Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation to help support the fight against childhood cancer.
Every donation matters. No amount is too small. Even sharing this post can make a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I was told that my first puzzle was too hard
@jacercooks here is an easier one
100 prisoners are about to stand in a line.
Beforehand, they're given time to discuss and agree on a strategy.
Then, each prisoner is randomly given either a red or blue hat and placed in a line.
Each prisoner can see everyone's hat in front of them, but cannot see their own or the hats behind them.
Starting from the back of the line, each prisoner must guess their own hat color out loud.
They can hear every guess made before them, and they know which ones are right and which are wrong.
If they're correct, they survive. If they're wrong, they're eliminated.
They cannot communicate in any other way once the hats are assigned.
What strategy can they agree on beforehand to guarantee that at least 99 out of 100 prisoners survive?
Think carefully. It's possible.
Here's a riddle that most people will struggle to solve.
You have 12 coins, 11 are identical in both looks and weight.
1 is different, it looks the same but has a different weight.
You don't know if it's heavier or lighter.
You have a balance scale, and you're allowed to use it only 3 times.
the objective?
Create a strategy using only 3 weighings
Make sure that it will always identify the odd coin AND figure out whether it's heavier or lighter.
you have nothing, just you and a scale that only works three time.
Can you solve it in just 3 weighings?
Put your answers in the comments, good luck!
this is actually scary
We are literally doomed
American High School English Teacher reads real responses from her student’s assignment after reading The Great Gatsby
We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us
These kind of responses are to be expected because 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992
