DAILY CALENDAR CHALLENGE #040 – FEBRUARY 9
Ready for the Saturday half of the Weekend Calendar Challenge?
#1 THE ORIGAMI CALENDAR CHALLENGE – EYE SPY
While the calendar took the easy way out for not producing an origami challenge for either day of this weekend, I decided to go big time with a classic David Copperfieldish origami illusion. First I’m going to make that dollar bill vanish and …
Reveal a tiny elephant in its place! TA-DAH!
#2 – THE MENSA PUZZLE CALENDAR – HUGE BOAT SAIL
I know how the knight moves in Chess, but I was unable to make it solve this puzzle. If anyone can make it solve this puzzle, you’ll win the prize of the day.
No dumb puzzle is going to stump me, so I gave it another try. But first I looked at the answer on the back of the page. ”Because it has a yacht to offer.” Groan! Then I started tracking it out on the calendar page. Trust me, even knowing the answer this one was a toughie. I stopped when I lost track in my solution.
#3 THE PAGE-A-DAY PUZZLE CALENDAR – TRACE OUT
I challenge you to stare at the puzzle for ten-seconds, and not recognize the solution.
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2 of the Weekend Challenge!

Heh–this is what I get for reading backwards. You told me the solution to the last puzzle. I wonder if I’d have gotten it?
I love the elephant.
You would have figured it out. I knew what it was the minute I saw NAP. Folding currency is the hardest of all paper folding.
You fold it well.
If I would have folded it perfectly, the all seeing eye on the pyramid would have been the elephant’s eye.
