    Think you have a mark on your glass cupboard door TM. Needs a wipe down, possibly looks like it might be a splash from the food mixer. ;)

    A puzzle for you:D

    A piece of string is attached to the corner of a cube. The cube is suspended by the string and lowered into a bucket of water so that exactly half of the cube is submerged. What shape is made by the intersection of the cube with the surface of the water?

    :)

    The shape formed is a regular hexagon. Three faces of the cube meet at each corner so as you lower the cube, the intersection starts off as a point and grows into a triangle. The size of the triangle continues to grow as you lower the cube until it reaches it largest possible size. This happens when the water passes through all corners connected to the submerged corner by an edge of the cube. Any further lowering truncates the corners of the triangle and produces a six sided figure with the surface of the water intersecting all six sides of the cube. As you continue to lower the cube, the longer sides of the six sided figure decrease in length and shorter sides increase in length until they all become exactly the same length. This happens when the water intersects the midpoints of all edges not connected to the corner connected to the string or its diametrically opposed corner. The rotational and reflective symmetry of the cube tells us that all the sides and angles are equal.

    But...a cube is a 3D shape and a regular hexagon is a 2D shape.

    I went shopping for 2 small light bulbs, expecting them to be 50p each. Spent £4, seems there are new rules and they all low energy and long lasting or some nonsense.

    DM was asking earlier what are we all buying the gift sets for. I have a sofa full plus some in the hall. I have already got some for my friends down Portsmouth/New Forest and have a couple of bags for them here too. A few are for my Sister, Niece and her two girls. 6 Baylis & Harding are being used in weekly Saturday online raffles for Romanian dog/cat rescues. The rest of what I've got here is to sell to my friends at Ravenswood Rescue. We are all meeting at one lady's house on Sunday for a meal (people are taking food to eat and host making pasta and curry dishes) and I am supplying the booze (freebies from cashback mainly). So I said I would take all my glitch stuff for them to pick from. I am adding to the price I paid for them and the proceeds are going to Ravenswood. I will also take 'orders' from them and try to get as many more as I can, while it lasts

    We normally all go out for a meal at Christmas but someone suggested we do this and all pay £10 each to go to Ravenswood, rather than pay £30+ in restaurant

    So Ravenswood should get quite a bit of cash this weekend
