  • You have to solve a few words before you start moving any pieces to try to maximize the number of double-green swaps. Any time you figure out a double-green, go ahead and do it - it will never keep you from getting the full 5 stars.

    A trick is: if there is only one of a letter on the board, you can always put it in place without worrying about a double-green swap. Often times it opens up a chance for a double-green later.

    Hope that helps.
























  • I am in construction (not manufacturing) and own my own business. Truth is, they are both right.

    Rodney is right because there are a huge number of variables that the prof’s equation is ignoring. Also, it is generally a good idea to know what you are manufacturing and work to produce that product as efficiently as possible. The professor is sort of putting the cart before the horse by building a factory with no product.

    That said, we are in a learning environment and seemingly in a lower-level class. You have to strip away real-world variables to teach the lessons at hand. The professor is right not to include corrupt politicians and mafia folk, it’s too much when you are trying to start with the basics. But he should’ve had the class decide on a product - he said it himself, it could be anything - and then build up from there.

    Mafia payoffs are a 300 level course.






  • From SCOTUSblog,

    “Based on two words separated by 16 others in … IEEPA—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “Those words,” he continued, “cannot bear such weight.” “IEEPA,” Roberts added, “contains no reference to tariffs or duties.” Moreover, “until now no President has read IEEPA to confer such power.”

    “Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.”




  • I didn’t even know that was a possibility. That’s cool.

    You don’t have to play daily to keep up the streak, you just have to get 0 stars or more (complete the puzzle). If you take a week off and come back and don’t lose, you continue the streak.

    I don’t know how going back to old puzzles changes the streak.
