This week's puzzle:
Four angels sat on the Christmas tree amidst other ornaments. Two had blue halos and two - yellow. However, none of them could see above his head. Angel A sat on the top branch and could see the angels B and C, who sat below him. Angel B, could see angel C who sat on the lower branch. And angel D stood at the base of the tree obscured from view by a thicket of branches, so no one could see him and he could not see anyone either.
Which one of them could be the first to guess the color of his halo and speak it out loud for all other angels to hear?
Answer to last week's puzzles:
1. All that glitters is not gold.
2. Two's company, three's a crowd.
3. The early bird gets the worm.
4. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
G2) Educator Appreciation Days
October 11-19th is Educator Appreciation Week at Barnes and Noble. Check local stores for special events. Homeschool Parents/Teachers are included, and discounts up to 25% off are offered. You may need to bring a homeschool educator ID card, homeshccool organization membership card, or letter of approval to homeschool to "prove" you homeschool.
G3) Essay/Video Contest for High School Students
The First Freedom Student Competition is a first-semester national essay and video contest. It offers high-school students an opportunity to compete for $2,500 awards as they examine the history and current-day relevance of religious freedom, and then, by written essay or video production, present their evaluation. The competition is open to students in the United States and U.S. territories, and to American schools and American home-schooled students worldwide. We invite 9th — 12th grade students at all levels of academic placement to participate.
The right to religious freedom is set forth in constitutional and international human-rights law. Today's youth play an important role in upholding and strengthening this liberty; therefore, the First Freedom Student Competition has been developed to:
Help high-school students better understand religious freedom — its history and current significance;
Encourage high-school students to explore their individual and civic rights to and responsibilities for religious freedom;
Engage high-school teachers and students in the study of American history and the First Amendment; and
Challenge high-school students to strengthen their analytic writing and media skills.
The online student registration deadline is Monday, November 17, 2014. The postmark deadline for mailing the entry and its accompanying materials is the following Monday, November 24, 2014. Click here for more details: http://www.firstfreedom.org
