So we're back to randomly numbered puzzles. I'm sure that you all have been EAGERLY waiting for this, since it seemed that a number of you guys knew the answer to the puzzle right after we handed out The Briefing. So, here it is. Puzzle #32909:
What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years?
First to get this one right gets a prize (if it's NOT Thuy-Anh...or Kelly). :)

BTW, what happened to my idea of having an excruciating algebra problem as the riddle?

Kevin...congratulations!!! IDK what your prize is. What would you like? Also, if you have a puzzle, you can give it to Kelly and see if she uses it for the next briefing. I feel that as of late, the last few puzzles have been...quite...easy.
lolz. Kelly will eventually have more karma points than you all? If I continue to work hard...and if we're still friends? :P

Hey, I got an easy puzzle! I saw it in a bathroom stall.
I don't have a prize, really. Probably the satisfaction of knowing you got it right?
Okay. So Beth has 4 items. A brand new fireplace with chimmney, a wood burning stove/oven, and a firewood grill, and a single match. Beth is throwing a dinner party this Thursday night for ten people, and she is going to cook 7 chickens and 2 vegetarian burgers. Also, she is going to have everyone roast marshmellows at the end of the night. It is important to know that Beth is inviting Kevin, who is a sort of grill champion and insists on grilling a pound or two of raw steak, which will take longer to cook than the chicken. The veggie burgers will not take as long as the 7 chickens. Each will need about half hour to hour on the grill/oven/fireplace. Beth has exactly 3 hours to prepare for the cooking part of that night, after her work ending at 2:00PM. She always bought all her groceries, and is just waiting for Thursday to roll around. What should she light first?

I don't know what is sadder, the fact that you actually read and solved all of that in a bathroom stall, or that someone actually took the time to write that whole thing out in a bathroom stall

Wow... generally I don't expect to find anything worth reading amongst bathroom-stall writing.

Im sorry I couldn't make it :"( Golf did go pretty good though. Adam showed me how to make bunker shots, and I hit some pretty good ones. As I was walking back, Mr. Flora walks over to me near the driving range and says I may want to try out a hybrid club (I am having trouble hitting my long irons). The hybrid club would let me hit the ball far, yet with more ease than with my long irons which I am only topping the ball and making it roll 20 yards. John let me borrow his 4i hybrid, and I ended up hitting the ball 170-180 yards 5 times in a row.

I just made all that up. The original puzzle in the bathroom was MUCH shorter. : ) I just wanted to see if I could be tricky. Apparently not.
Whatever, old age is catching up with me. Shisse.
