FEEL GOOD ITEMS


What is this, a record store for mice? 

Well yes, it is and someone built it in the Swedish town of Lund. It even lights up at night.

Look at these stairs...

They fold up and are stored flat.

And the tailgate still closes.

An Epic, Planet-Scale Wave Has Been Hiding in The Toxic Clouds of Venus For Decades
 Deep in the thick, poisonous clouds wrapped around Venus, the atmosphere is behaving very oddly. A giant, previously unknown planet-scale wall of cloud travels westward around the planet every 4.9 days - and apparently has been doing so since at least 1983.

I have often stated that it is unfathomable to me that a near-adult can reach that age with no marketable skills whatsoever, but I still think minimum wage growth should match inflation.

Ma’am, do you know anything about your husband’s death?
Yeah, suicide. It’s awful, isn’t it?
You’re saying he chopped himself up and threw his body in the lake?
*sigh* I know, he had some real demons.

Puzzle:.

Short version:
Put a 9 on any of the four edge middle cells.
Put a 3 on either of the edge middle cells not in line with the 9.
Put an 8 in the corner cell next to the 3 but away from the 9.
The difference between 15 and the sum of the two numbers will show the number that goes next to the 9. It should be a 4.
Place the 7 in the cell opposite the 3.
Work out the rest of the puzzle by solving any column, row, or diagonal with two numbers until finished. . The result will depend on where you put the 9 and 3. There are multiple working solutions.


The long winded version.



This is a symmetrical puzzle involving constraints, so logically you can solve it by considering what can go where.

First, the 9 can't go on the same line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally with 8, 7, or 6 because the sum would be over 15. It also can't be on the same line as three, since 3 + 9 = 12, and you would need another 3 to complete the sum of 15.

8 can't go with 7

7 can't go with 8 or 4. (7 + 4 + 4 = 15)

3 can't go with 1 or 2, as well as 9 as mentioned above.

Therefore, 9 can't go into any of the corners, because it would only leave open spaces for two of the 4 numbers that can't go with 9. The "0's" below designate the open spaces for the 8, 7, 6, and 3. The 9 also can't go into the center because it would make all the other spaces unavailable for the 4 numbers in its constraint.

9 X X
X X 0
X 0 X

The 9 will need to go in a middle edge space. Since the puzzle is symmetrical, which edge doesn't matter.

X 9 X
0 X 0
0 X 0

This leaves 4 open spaces for the four numbers that need open spaces.
It also shows that the four spaces in line with the nine contain 1, 2, 4, and 5.

Of the four numbers that can't be paired with 9, 3 has the most constraints.
It can't be on the same line as 1 or 2, as well as 9. 3 + 1 or 2 will need a corresponding number larger than 9 to reach 15.
You will notice if you put the 3 on a corner open cell, it makes all but one of the cells unavailable for the 1 and 2.

Y 9 Y
Y Y 0
3 Y Y


3 therefore must be located on one of the edge middle spaces that is not in line with the 9.

Y 9 0
3 Y Y
Y 0 0

Since the 7 and 8 can't be on the same line, one will have to go on the corner next to the 3 (but away from the 9), and the other must go on the edge middle opposite the 3. To keep the 7 from intersecting with the 4, place the 8 next to the 3 and the 7 across from the 3.
At this point you will have a line with two occupied cells, and the rest of the puzzle can be worked out.
