This week's puzzle:
Logic Puzzlers
1. A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back, on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?
2. How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.
3. An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can. What did the wise man say to them?
Answers to last week's puzzles:
1. Today is January 1st. (The day before yesterday was Dec 30 last year, Chris turned 8 on Dec 31 last year, will turn 9 on Dec 31 this year, and will turn 10 on Dec 31 next year.)
2. His mother died in childbirth; he was born in the presence of ("before") his father; he was a pastor who performed over 100 marriage ceremonies.
3. A coffin.
G2) Participate in Homeschool Research
Hello,
I am a researcher and homeschool parent. I am working on a new book about homeschooling. It isn't a soup to nuts book, but instead a look at not only why people choose to homeschool but what that looks like. My own experience is that homeschool means a whole variety of educational choice, very little is known about the variety of activities, interactions, pursuits, etc. that make up the diverse homeschool community in part because homeschoolers tend not to participate in research related to their community. With the sharp rise in homeschooling over the past two decades (estimated at over 2 million children), I am interested particularly in when and why people homeschool; how they homeschool (the unschool all the way to the hybrid models); and the voices of students (and alumni) in going through the homeschool experience.
I wondered if you would share with your homeschool community. All the data collected will be kept completely anonymous and confidential. You can help by:
1. Participating in a brief (3-5 minute) online survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1791517/Parent-Survey
2. Allowing your child to participate in a brief (3 minute online survey): http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1791677/Student-Survey
3. Posting links to the surveys to other homeschool communities or sending to other homeschool families you know.
4. Participating in a short interview.
5. Allowing your child to participate in a short interview (with you present).
6. Asking your older children (18+) if they would like to participate in a short interview.
Thank you in advance for all of you who join me in this endeavor. I greatly appreciate your support. Please contact me with any questions: fchapman@kulikuli.net

G3) HSLDA Essay Contest (ages 7-19)
Kick off your school year with HSLDA's 13th annual essay contest! Offering cash prizes upwards of $200, this contest is open to all homeschooled students ages 7–19 and runs through November 1, 2014. Our themes for this year's contest focus on inventions. Our world has been shaped by the inventions of the past, with inventors improving and building on the ideas of previous generations. Every item we use—from the toothbrush to the smartphone—was invented by someone using his or her God-given creativity and intellect to do something!
Category 1 (ages 7–10): God has given humanity great creativity, and so many amazing things have already been invented. But there is still so much room for ingenuity! If you were to invent something that has not yet been invented, what would it be, what would it do, and why would you choose to invent it?
Category 2 (ages 11–14): Let's say you are stranded on a desert island, alone, where there is no electricity, no cell tower signal, nor any other sign of civilization. You have a stockpile of food and help is on its way—in a couple months—but in the meantime you must survive. What three existing inventions would you want to find washed up on the shore of the island with you and why?
Category 3 (ages 15–19): Though created with good intentions, to do something good, some inventions have had unintended negative consequences. They've solved one problem but created other problems—sometimes worse than the first. Choose one such invention and discuss its positive and negative impacts. Be sure to address whether or not the benefits from the invention outweigh its negative impact.
Each student is invited to enter up to two essays relating to the theme for his or her age category.
To get a sense of what to look for or avoid when writing an essay, you can view the judges' comments from previous contests or read the winning essays from previous years!
Guidelines and entry forms can be found on our website, as well as information about our other annual contests: art, poetry, and photo. http://hslda.org/Contests/Essay/2014/2014rules.asp
