Week 4
Here are nine sticks which have been arranged on a flat surface to form a figure that looks like a cube.

Suppose two of the sticks were removed. How could you rearrange the sticks that remained so that they still formed the figure of a cube?

Week 5
Your task for this week is to simply complete the following crossword puzzle? Or is it so simple? Across 1. A completely flat surface 6. A level of thought or existence or development 7. Popular method of aerial transport (abbrev.) 8. Tool for smoothing 9. Type of tall spreading tree with broad leaves Down 1. A state of quiet free from war 2. Otherwise, when all fails... 3. While, when, because, though - used in comparisons 4. Female fowl 5. If at it, relax

The answer to all of the across ones is "Plane", but the downs are a bit trickier. The letters when sounded out phonetically sound like the words that the clues represent. P's for Peace, L's for Else, A's for As (derived from spelling "A's" instead of phonetical), N's for Hens, and E's for Ease.
