Games: Operation Six
There was a game called "Four-Fours" where you have to make every number 1-100 using only four 4's and the operations. It was fun, and I wanted a game similar but easier for normal people to do.
Enter "Operation Six". Use six randomly generated numbers to get the numbers 1-30. You can use less than all 6, but the ultimate goal is to use all six. I am pretty sure there is a formula that says this is always possible, but I have to double check.
Coming soon for iPhone, then iPad. iPhone has 30 levels, iPad has 60.
The answer for he shot below:
6-6x3+9-4-1 (order of operations does not apply here. Go left to right)

Which country does math better, US or Germany?
My current rental car is a Chevy, and this is what I noticed.
My battery gauge is split into 8 equal segments, with the lowest being 8, the highest being 18. How many volts is each segment worth?
My gas gauge has 8 equal segments, and my tank is 20 gallons, how many gallons is each 1/8th of the gauge worth?
At home:
My VW has a gas gauge split into 16 segments, and I have a 16 gallon tank. How many gallons is each section worth?
My temperature gauge ranges from 120 to 320, split into 10 segments. How much is each section worth?
I think Europeans pay attention more.

How Old is Mr. Brzenski
For those of you who want to know how old I am, follow this riddle
poem and see if you can figure it out. I always give math puzzles for
my age.
"To find the age of me,
follow the steps for the fraction and see,
Pi's first two digits on top,
Ninety nine down below,
And my age, repeating, you'll see"
Its tough, and you probably need a calculator and the first few digits of Pi (look at your tracking sheet)
