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.
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.
A month ago I posted another picture algebra maths puzzles. This time it was the Clocks, Calculators and Lightbulbs algebra maths puzzle which looked simple but had more to it than you would initially think.
If you have not had a go at solving this puzzle and registering your answer on the poll; Stop reading the solution, click on the link above and go do it now. 🙂
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 have found another new numeric picture maths puzzle. Thanks goes to my good friend, Virginia, for inflicting this one on us.
I did get it wrong initially, so be warned… it does require a close look at the image to get the correct answer.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
After 14 days, the Tour de Quarantine finishes. If you missed the previous days’ footage, check it out on the links below:
Thanks Brad Sohner on YouTube for making us laugh. Keep safe and well everyone.
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.
The current world situation has brought out some of the best online humour that we have seen in recent times.
You all know that my wife, Jennifer, and I love cycling and we recently found this hilarious series created by Brad Sohner on YouTube.
I saw this great video yesterday and had to share it.
Danny MacAskill is an amazing mountain bike cyclist who turns freestyle riding into an art form. His videos are always awe inspiring and funny (especially the bloopers at the end).
Earlier this month (a few days after May the Fourth) the team from the YouTube Channel FXitinPost released an unofficial short of their version of the lightsaber battle between Darth Vader and Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi on the Death Star as Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca (RIP: Peter Mayhew) and C3PO & R2D2 escape.
If you have seen the movie Rogue One, the ending scene finally shows why Darth Vader was feared. Watching the original version of the fight between Vader and Kenobi, the fight seems pretty boring by today’s standards. This fan created reimagining is amazing and a much more in line with the recent movies.
Following on from last week’s Friday Funny: How do you like your Toast? here is another silly waste of time. Hey, but it’s fun.
This week’s question is “How do you draw a capital X?”
What is the most popular method…. let’s find out.
This is completely off topic, but a fun way to end the week.
So the question is “How do you like your Toast?”.
Do you like warm soft bread, burnt smoldering charcoal or something in between?
I was not planning to post anything for Star Wars Day 2019, but then I came across the video created by the University of Western Australia and decided I needed to share it.
It recognises the sad loss of Peter Mayhew, who passed away on the evening of April 30, 2019 with his family by his side in his North Texas home.
Happy Easter everyone. In Australia, Easter is accompanied by a four day long weekend, so hopefully everyone will get a break from work.
You would have seen that I recently served on Jury Duty. I was lucky to be assigned to a short three day case and was able to get back to work fairly quickly.
