A student showed me this video today and I think it makes an amazing blend of Back to the Future nerd-dom and Legend of Zelda nerd-dom. Enjoy.

Jiggawatty Riddles...
Here are your pi time riddles...
1. How can two people step on one page of newspaper so that they can't touch each other without stepping off the newspaper? [5]
2. I climbed up a cherry tree, where I found cherries. I did not pick cherries, nor did I leave cherries. How can you explain this? [5]
3. A snail is climbing up a one-meter-high wall. It advances three centimeters per minute and then stops for one minute to rest, during which it slides back two centimeters. How long will the snail take to reach the top of the wall? [5]
4. Which is warmer, a two-inch-thick blanket or two blankets one inch thick each? [5]
5. Every day, a cyclist crosses the border between Spain and France carrying a bag. No matter how much customs officials investigate him, they do not know what he is smuggling. Do you? [5]

Hey everyone!
Today is Acadacathalonomania yet again! We had 4 teams compete in the morning and a fifth team has joined for the afternoon. What mysteries will they uncover? What sanity will they lose? All I know is, there will be a lot of plaid involved...
