by Carol Hall full story | top |

Greetings to all of you! I was very pleased this month to receive several suggestions from you regarding articles and content! I even received a "Book Review" which I included in this issue. Now, I need your help...Each month I include an article in which I interview one of our staff so that you can get a glimpse of "who they are". I have interviewed all of the staff, and now I need volunteers! If you are interested in being interviewed so we can get to know you...please let me know. As part of our "BMI Family" I would love to share you with everyone! I hope you enjoy this edition of The On Ramp and I look forward to hearing from you. .

New Puzzles Coming Soon
by Gena Bybee full story | top |
| Introducing our newest newsletter puzzles: 3 of Kind and Sudoku 3 of Kind is a lot like playing word search but with groups of 3 little pictures to find. Just click and drag over the 3 different pictures in the order in which you are asked to find them (right hand column) - across, down or diagonal. Our first "3 of a kind" puzzle is in this month's newsletter. Enjoy! Sudoku: You start by logically entering numerical digits from 1 through 9 in each box of a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 sub-grids without repeating a number in the row or column or 3x3 grids. Try to calculate where the numbers go according to the numbers already given for that particular puzzle. For more ways to solve puzzles go to: Angus1 To play Sudoku online: Web Sudoku and Sudoku A little Sudoku history: The puzzle was designed anonymously by Howard Garns and in 1979, it was published in the magazine Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games under the title Number Place. The puzzle was introduced to Japan in 1984. At a later date, the name was abbreviated to Sudoku which can be translated as "the numbers must be single" or "the numbers must occur only once". The name stuck. Our FIRST "3 of a Kind" puzzle is in this issue. We will be introducing "Sudoku" with our June issue. Enjoy! | |
