I have found yet another numeric picture maths puzzle to inflict upon you. This one makes me think it is time for some food.
Standard warning: It does require a close look at the image to get the correct answer and don’t forget order of operations.

Friday Funny: Tables, Baskets and Shirts algebra maths puzzle
I have found another numeric picture maths puzzle to inflict upon you. I do think that the table should have been an ironing board to keep the laundry theme.
Standard warning: It does require a close look at the image to get the correct answer and don’t forget order of operations.
Star Wars Day 2021 – May the 4th be with you (Western Australia)
Happy Star Wars Day 2021 everyone.
This year we have a treat for you. One of the tourism organisations who promote the South West corner of Western Australia has created a fantastic promotional video to celebrate the region with a definite Star Wars flavour.
May the Fourth Be With You …. Always (or at least until midnight).
Friday Funny: Marques Brownlee – The Best Mac I’ve Reviewed
Yesterday was the First of April and I have been so busy working on preparing my house for sale (we will be moving later this year) that I did not get an April Fool’s blog article out.
So this Friday Funny will have to do. Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) is a YouTube tech reviewer who often reviews phones and computers. Unlike my other favourite channel, Linus Tech Tips, Marques is very Apple focused.
Friday Funny: Enterprise Automation circa 1993 (Stardate 46880.9)
Captain’s Log: Stardate 74698.4. The automated and mysterious algorithm that controls the video recommendations for the interconnected web for information on my home planet of Earth, resurfaced a very amusing production for the promotion and purpose of selling a computerised Enterprise automation system.
The system is primitive for today’s standards, where I could just ask the computer to perform a level 1 diagnostic, but was very advanced for the era it was created in. In the interest of sharing galactic knowledge with all sentient species, especially those who have already achieved warp speed travel and are eligible to join the Federation of Planets, I will include the broadcast below.
Friday Funny: Tom Scott – The Worst Typo I Ever Made
I came across this great video by one of my favourite YouTubers, Tom Scott, recently and thought I would share it with you. Tom’s videos are well researched, interesting and presented with a good sense of humour.
This one is specifically about an incident where he made a typo while working on a SQL database and his advice about how everything went wrong and how to ensure it does not in future is worth listening to.
Friday Funny: Merry Christmas & Robbie the Reindeer
Merry Christmas everyone.
Last week, thanks to Belinda Allen MVP for organising, we had a social Teams meeting of many of the Microsoft Dynamics GP community. During this special Advanced Networking Opportunity (thanks Bob McAdam), we were discussing everyone’s favourite Christmas Movie.
Friday Funny: The Twelve Days of Christmas
Christmas is almost here and so it is time to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. This year has been unusual, to say the least, and has meant that I did not travel to the USA for the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Conference or the User Group Community Summit Conference.
I love the Dynamics GP community and really missed catching up with everyone in person. Instead, the best we have been able to do is some online meetings organised by Kim Peterson, Belinda Allen and the Njevity team… Thanks guys. Looking forward to a hopefully more normal year of 2021.

Friday Funny: Solution to Crustacean themed algebra maths puzzle
A few weeks ago I posted a rather bizarre picture algebra maths puzzle. It was the Crustacean themed algebra maths puzzle which looked more like a joke than a real puzzle. However, there is a solution and this article will explain it.

I did get it wrong initially, so be warned… it does require a close look at the image to get the correct answer.
Friday Funny: Crustacean themed algebra maths puzzle
The time has come for a new numeric picture maths puzzle. Thanks goes to my eldest son for sending this one to me. This one raises the bar as it introduces some more complex mathematics concepts than just simple algebra.
Study this one closely. I hope your trigonometry and calculus are up to scratch.
Friday Funny: Conference Calls in Real Life
I was attending a teleconference meeting this week and after some technical issues, I remembered a couple of fantastic videos from a few years ago (2014 & 2015) by Tripp and Tyler.
These videos just seems very appropriate right now while so many people are working from home during the Great Pandemic of 2020.
Friday Funny: Share your pain with Microsoft
While having a conversation with a friend yesterday, I was reminded of a video I had seen a few years ago about giving real time feedback to Microsoft software developers when they introduce bugs into code.
A quick search on YouTube and I was able to find someone who had posted it.
Friday Funny: Solution to Witches, Wands and Brooms Puzzle
A couple of weeks ago I posted another one of those picture algebra maths puzzles. This time it was the Witches, Wands and Brooms Puzzle which had been doing the rounds on the Book of Face and the Interwebs in general.

Friday Funny: Witches, Wands and Brooms Puzzle
It has been a while since I posted one of these numeric picture maths puzzles. That is mainly because I have not seen any good or original ones recently.
Anyhow, this one came across the interwebs and it should make you think. Study the image carefully before you work out your solution.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter Weekend, even if you probably had to stay home by yourselves.
The COVID-19 situation has changed the world we live in for the time being, but it has been an opportunity for people to find other ways to amuse themselves.

Friday Funny: Tour de Quarantine: Stages 6 – 10
Following on from last week’s Friday Funny: Tour de Quarantine: Stages 1 – 5, we have the next five stages for your viewing pleasure.
While none of us like the need for isolation and quarantine, it has given many creative people too much free time and the result is the many really funny videos are doing the rounds on the interwebs.
This series tickled my fancy as each year I become a Tour de France widower as my wife, Jennifer, watches the race footage every night. Credit to Brad Sohner on YouTube for making us laugh.
Friday Funny: Tour de Quarantine: Stages 1 – 5
