I missed the missed 35 and was thinking it wasnāt unique, as the chain words ok, of course. Iām glad NN pointed it out, as Iād already scanned it a couple times and would have wasted more time on it.
Correct !

There are 42 people in an office lottery pool who each pay a certain amount weekly. The pool organizer uses the money to purchase multiple lottery tickets for that weekās draw, and the members of the pool share any winnings. One week, 7 people were on vacation and did not play, so all of the others in the pool each chipped in an extra $3 so the same number of lottery tickets could be purchased. How much money do each of the 42 people usually pay each week?
$15

Use the given letters to fill in the empty squares so that each row across spells a word and so that the shaded letters, clockwise from the top, spell some animated dancers.
(added by me: I seriously donāt think youāll need the list of letters for this. If Iād been writing the puzzle, Iād have left them off)

Correct.
The toughest part of the puzzle was thinking of the connection between animated dancers and hippopotamuses. That took a few seconds.
For me, that was instant. The hardest part was spelling the word and was it EGO or AGO

I was thinking of the other definition of animated, so whirling dervishes or whatever.
I needed to adjust my definition first.
