Here's a challenge!

The object is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue
blocks or touching the black walls.

If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal.
I was told that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are
expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

Give it a try!!

ObFood: Brunch was made by putting 3 eggs into the blender with a handful of
fresh spinach and a big spoonful of cottage cheese. That went into an
omelet pan which had been pre-heated with butter. Sprinkled with a
Jack/Colby pre-shredded cheese, cooked until puffy and browned on the
bottom, and served with wheat toast. Something was missing. Maybe chopped
tomatoes in the omelet? I can't help thinking some kind of herbs would have
enlivened it, but for the life of me I can't think which herbs would be an
improvement.

I'd have added a small bit of finely minced garlic to the butter for 30
seconds or so before putting in the egg mixture, but then I'm addicted
to garlic. Garnished with chives or parsley.

More important than any of those things would be a good grind (or
pinch) of nutmeg. Nutmeg greatly enhances spinach and goes well with
cottage cheese, too. -aem

Sorry about the typos. And I just thought of sardines or anchovies.....
 
If you're a sudoku fan, here's a good on-line version:

http://sudoku.com.au

It has a pretty nifty app for playing on the computer if that's what
you want, new puzzles in four levels each day, and an archive of old
ones you can play until your eyes bleed. Also a message board for each
puzzle, the addicts exchange hints and such.

I'm still not sure if I like this game, but I'm determined to get good
at it because my brother-in-law was better than me.

OK, I'm phenomenal...20.87 seconds after about 2 minutes
of playing around with it. Will have to come back and try
for the "fighter pilot" level a while later.

I lasted 39.27 seconds before getting so bored, I ran into a blue block
on purpose just to see what would happen.

That was too boring. My time was over 300 seconds. It would have been
longer if I hadn't gotten bored and quit. It would be more challenging
if the blue blocks were to suddenly change direction and speed without
warning.
