photos of the Infiniti G35

Desert Platinum
Today was a really nice sunny day.
Someone wanted to see the car, so that's why I put these photos up.
Ian says 'hi'.

Puzzles

Does anybody else like to do puzzles? I used to love trying to do them when I was younger. I'm not talking about jigsaw puzzles (although I did a few of those too), but instead, I mean problem solving or mathematical puzzles or word puzzles. Lots of possibilities exist of course. Here are a few (no fair looking things up or using a calculator or dictionary or online source; just your head and a pencil and paper if necessary).

1. what (relatively) common English word has the letters U F A in it consecutively?

2. draw a capital letter 'M' on a page; now draw 4 straight lines through the M; what is the maximum number of non-overlapping triangles you can create this way?

3. 4 words in my vocabulary end with -dous . I'll give you 1 of them: tremendous. What are the others??
