🤣Ti be fair, she would have done it quicker than I did!
But I doubt it would have been so splendid! :D

You know, I probably could. 🤣 I have been known to make a birthday cake shaped like a grand piano, complete with a lid propped up with a cigar shaped ice cream wafer and a complete keyboard fashioned out of pieces of white chocolate and licorice.. I could give the Stahlbaums a run for their money! 🤣

Here's a fun diversion.

https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/

Just drag and drop things from the 'menu' on the side onto the main screen to create new combinations. And then combine them. And so on. There are a lot of pretty funny combinations - although it's perhaps a bit too 'American pop culture' in places which is annoying. And you will reach a point where nonsense things are created, because it's using an AI engine 'behind the scenes' to get around the usual limitations of this sort of game.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Well, this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you are feeling especially masochistic, this Month's Guardian genius puzzle is really clever. Although you may need to have a stiff drink beforehand to stop yourself setting light to it to start with! :lol:
