Plays and Puzzles

I have an urge to write a play. After all, my summer camp I am currently attending involves plays. We're performing tomorrow, and I'm excited!

In other news, Blogger has a new look. If you create a blog, you already have one, or you have administrator privileges on one, you can see it. It may take me a little while to get used to it, though.

I've been thinking of riddles I've read. If you have one for the blog readers, please post it in a comment. Here's one of the ones I liked:

Henry lives in a very traditional village, but he married two women, and no one complained. Neither died or had a horrible accident happen to them. How can this be?

Try to solve it, and please don't put the answer in a comment.

By the way, the answer to the bacteria one is:

12:59.

Pre-6th Grade and Woodlands

Hello. I haven't posted anything in a while. But the biggest news is that I'm going into 6th grade, which means I have to get used to a whole new school and a new type of schedule (different teachers for almost every subject).
Anyway, my family went to Mendocino Woodlands and stayed in wooden cabins. We had to light fires for warmth. It was pretty fun.
If you like any one of the three templates I've tried over the last three months better than the others, please tell me.

This project is made with Scratch, which you can learn about on its website. It's about a poor circle that has lost its E and has to find it. Use the arrow keys to move. Can you finish it?

A Math Puzzle

Dr. Ferbergerral had a new type of bacteria. Every minute, the bacteria in the tray would split in two, creating two new bacterias.
Dr. Ferbergerral went out for lunch at twelve o'clock PM. He was a very precise man. At one o'clock PM, he checked back on the bacteria and got a real shock. "Oh, no!" he exclaimed. "The tray is full of bacteria!"
At what time was the tray half full? Post your answer in a comment. If you are trying to solve this puzzle, please do not look at the comments.

I got this from a card deck of math puzzles. I may post more math puzzles regularly.

Having Fun With Harp Seal

Some stuffed toys are really fun to play with. Some aren't. Kenna, my sister, and I both know that our stuffed toy harp seal pup, dubbed a "big fish" because of its resemblance to the fish, falls into the former category. The big fish is cute, and it provides a starting point for many interesting stories. Kenna and I also have a joke about this toy, so playing with it is quite fun.

Here's a picture of the real harp seal pup.

If you have multiple toys imitating the harp seal, you can have a little family. Kenna, after learning a few facts about this fascinating creature, claimed the smaller grey seal was the mother, while the larger white one was the baby.
Ongoing games provide yet more possibilities. The "big fish" was a welcome addition into a game that Kenna and I had been playing for a while before.
Also, I gained useful art skills in owning the pup. Now I am better at drawing harp seals.
These are all ways to play with toy harp seals. Can you think of some more?

Changes

After a long while, I'm back with an new post. First, I want to draw your attention to some changes I made to this blog. The theme, including the background is new. Some of the elements on the sidebar have been rearranged.
For me, the big tests of the year are over. It should be a relief, and it is for most people in my class, but to me, it just means more homework and less fun art projects. The science testing wasn't that bad, anyway.
I don't have much else to report now, but I may be adding new features sometime soon, so watch for these.

New News

I know, I know. It's been a while since I've posted anything. So I just want to draw your attention to the new look of my blog. I just changed it because I was bored of the regular look. It's a possibility that I will change this blog up regularly. Also, I will add some more new stuff and take advantage of Blogger's awesome features.
I just came from an overnight camping trip. I slept in a cabin with 6 other females, and they were very nice and funny, too. I advise that you bring gloves on a trip like this, because I think my hands were the coldest part.
If you have a blog, add new features! Then challenge your faithful readers to find them all.
