Question

Dear Mitch,

In a recent post you mentioned that you would be putting up more of those balance scale type of problems that you have done in the past.  Since my high school math classes really enjoyed the most recent Thanksgiving one, we were wondering when we should start looking for the Christmas ones?

Answer

Dear Mrs. C.,

Since our balance-scale problems have proven so popular, we now have several with Christmas themes and Hanukkah themes, one with a New Year's Eve theme, and even one with a general 'winter' theme.

We are going to use the same method we used last month for the Thanksgiving problem, as the responses we received were overwhelmingly positive, and we enjoyed interacting with you on a slightly more personal basis than we usually can through a website.  So, for those of you who are new to this system, all you have to do is email us your own email address through the 'contact us' section of this adler-n-subtract.com website, and we will send you whichever puzzles you request.  You could just tell us to send you the 'new ones' for this holiday season, and we'll know what you mean. Remember, your requests do NOT get posted anywhere and go straight into our private email.

We're really looking forward to hearing from everyone out there again.

(But if you are to shy to contact us directly, scroll down on this page and below this answer you will find a surprise -- actually, you should find five surprises in all!  Enjoy!)

Happy holidays, 

-  Mitch
