Re: Passing the time
OK so I'm bored. Does anyone know any good sites with puzzles that might be worth a try?

Has anyone else got a copy of Journal29 (interactive book game)?

Arriving Monday. Whatever chance I will get to look at it is another matter.

Re: Passing the time
Good. Poke me so as I actually open it sometime, won't you?

Re: Passing the time
I think the good thing with this one is that you can just dip in and out of it - some of the pages are diabolical, but some just literally take a minute to solve.

Re: Passing the time
On the whole, yes. Although I had to go on their forum for a few of them for hints because I wasn't making any progress!

Re: Passing the time
Hmmm...if you do get this and try it, there is a mistake on page 42. The first one has the wrong symbols.

Today's Google Doodle is fabulous. (It's about using AI to compose in the style of Bach.)

Re: Passing the time
What is this "time" stuff? Why do you have so much of it to pass?
Is it like "money"? I have heard about that. I 'd like to experience it for real.

Very interesting! I looked up Bari to London - 36.8 days! I think I am glad that Ryan Air flew there in about 3 hours when we used to visit K.Bunnylump wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 3:26 pmOK so if you ever need to work out how long a journey might have taken you if you had been doing it in Roman times, this is the site for you.http://orbis.stanford.edu/
What I am wondering though, is how/why you found that site in the first place!

Re: Passing the time
Too much time on my hands?
Always a very dangerous position for me to be in...
