I meant to say, Iâll do up to a non-specific time limit in that order. So lately I havenât typically been doing 2 through 5.
How small are we talking? I generally start to get frustrated if it gets into the triple digits.
- Wordle (NY Times games app)
- Strands (NY Times games app)
- Soduku (an app that has a âdaily challengeâ)
Generally in that order; if time/situation allows.

Probably single digit now - basically puzzles where it seens apparent that, if you look at them for a while, you can figure out what it is without having to go down some paths. I like going down the paths, but just canât justify taking a half hour or more to chase them.
None, as my wife does enough for both of us.

I wouldnât know. I rarely get more than 2 hours sleep in a row.
Last night I saw 1:03, 1:40, 2:12, 2:29, 3:01, 3:33, etc on the alarm clock.
Why only Mon-Thu?
Daily I do Wordle.
And do some things in Genshin Impact. An RPG for the phone and some gaming platforms.
As the week goes on, the puzzles get harder - there are fewer short words and the clues are more tricky or obscure. Generally, Mon through Wed are no problem. Thursday there may be bits that I donât get. But I have a hard time getting started with Friday unless I happen to know the theme and identify it right away. I try sometimes, but not generally.
I find Friday easier than Thursday. I usually have a rough time with Saturday.
The Sunday Time Magazine puzzle is huge, but the clues are at Thursday difficulty (or so they say)
Why does my family struggle with reliably getting 100% of their socks through all steps of the laundry. Here is a rough distribution of how often this happens, by family member:
| # of socks dropped | 0 | 1 | >1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP | 99% | 1% | 0% |
| SO | 5% | 94% | 1% |
| Kids | 10% | 85% | 5% |
How are you measuring this?
pre-washer?
post-washer and pre-dryer?
post-dryer?
Yes, we need a state transition matrix to better understand this.

ooooh, Markov chains⌠iâm getting a math induced state of âexcitementâ
Building a sock oriented Markov chain model would be âpulling off a 
feetâ (YSWIDT?)

I only measure after the clean clothes have been otherwise extracted from the room. I do not try to determine which step this happened.
I just want to ask things like:
Why the F does this happen almost every time?
Does this not annoy them to not have matching pairs when they put things away?
Am I the only one that notices?
Why is it almost always socks?
Why is it almost always just one sock?
How do you know that itâs not two socks? That is, a matched pair is getting dislocated?
Also, why blame humans? How do you know that the washer isnât eating some of them?
