Word for the Day balmy adjective \ ˈbä-mē  , ˈbäl-mē  \ : having the qualities of balm : SOOTHING a completely balmy but harmless old man who talked intently to plants and believed they answered back More Puzzle for the Day Anagram for the Day Ribbon Puzzle I recently asked my friend Alex to buy me some ribbon for my child's bonnet. Alex went to the haberdashery shop for the required length but accidentally swapped the feet and inches. When I measured the resulting ribbon I only had 5÷8 of the length I required. How much ribbon did I originally ask for? Remember that there are 12 inches in each foot. Solution (Previous Puzzle): Remembering that:    E + E = E    O + O = E    E + O = O To discuss individual letters it's easiest to represent the sum as:    A B C    D E F + -------- G H I J The largest values for A and D are 6 and 8, which makes G = 1. Since column 2 is E + O = O there can be no carry from column 1 (since E + O + 1 is always even). Therefore C and F are 3 and 5 (but we don't yet know which is which), therefore J = 8. There can't be a carry from column 2 (as A + D is even) therefore E can't be 9 as this would force a carry. Therefore I = 9. Hence B can't be 0. Therefore H = 0. The last remaining odd number makes E = 7. Making B = 2. Therefore A and D are 4 and 6 (but we don't yet know which is which). Since the top row's digits have to add to 9 the top number must be 423. This makes the sum 423 + 675 = 1098. An anagram is a word made by using letters of another word in a different order. Example: shot à host Find the anagram for the following: Tacker Tastes Things Solution (Previous): SUBTLE : SUBLET SUNLIT : INSULT TABLET : BATTLE Innovation of the Day In 1870, Professor Edward J. de Smedt, was granted a U.S. patent for laying sheet asphalt pavement (U.S. Nos. 103,581 and -2).

The equipment had Amateur Athletic Union approval. It was designed by General Electric engineers.
