Question
Dear Mitch,
We're having a big 4th of July barbecue at our house, and will be having a big group of kids (all ages). Last year my husband had a bunch of riddles prepared and it was a big success. This year he just informed me that it's my turn. D you happen to know of any questions you think would be good for this? I'm thinking on the hard side and have kids work together in groups or have families work together. At the end, the winners will get tee-shirts, and then a few minutes later every one else will get tee-shirts too!
Looking forward to hearing back in time.
