Give An Opinion, Make $1.75!  (See Blast From the Past above.) Do you have ANY thought asbout the former ‘regular features’ that used to appear in the Sharing e-mail??    If so, I’d love to hear them – good, bad, neutral, long/short, whatever. To provide incentive for this, I’ll raise the temporary FebruarySaleDiscount from 20% to 25% for those that provide their thoughts.  (essentially another $1.75 savings down to $26.21)  But you only have until Feb 28 to cash in.  Reply to this e-mail or use the ContactForm.  (Naturally, you can make comments without buying a book! 🙂 ).

Brain Teasers!  I forgot to add Brain Teasers last time! 🙁   So, I’ve added FOUR more BTs this time and I’ve buried two interesting facts in them (or their answers). Check out #9 for a preview of ONE of these FUN NUMBER FACTS!  Submit any/all solutions by Feb 28.  Solutions, solvers, and highlights next time!
