Thinking....a strong suit?

So, today was much more like April then Thursday was, and it's only looking up. 75 degrees on Tuesday? Well, that means time to get the watercraft ready to hit the waters again. Well, that will come in time. I couldn't really bring myself to work on it today, with some snow on the ground. It's day will come in a couple of weeks. Hopefully around the 1st of May will be time to get the jetski ready to roll. Today instead was maintenance to the vehicle. Next weekend, it will make a quick trip to the Twin Cities, where I will be on a mini-vacation to watch some Twins games.







Ok, most will laugh when I say I do enjoy occasional challenging puzzles. I do enjoy doing sudoku puzzles, especially when on a camping trip when I'm not out on the lake. Or, one that I was re-aquatinted to recently was the Cracker Barrel's golf tee game. I'm sure you've played, where you have to jump the golf tees, removing the one that was jumped, and end up with only one left. The waitress the day I got mine said I was starting it wrong, and I didn't believe that I was actually starting wrong. My dad said that you should be able to do it with any open hole to start.

So that made me set out on a mission, I wanted to know if it really was possible for any of them to be open, and to be able to beat the board and tees with any open slot, I wanted to find it. So, when you look at the puzzle, the first thing I deducted that I would have to play with only the four open slots show here. This would represent any of the possible starting points. I was successful in about 5 days with defeating it with all the open slots. I showed the waitress what was what on that one, that I wasn't starting it wrong, I just couldn't figure it out on that particular day.
