First off, we’ll shrug off the unannounced absence from the site. With August officially over, now I’ll be forced to deal with the work I’ve been procrastinating all summer.
(Speaking of summer: I think I’ve officially gotten to the age where my weekends for the next few summers will be spent mostly at weddings. This summer I’ve been to three weddings and an engagement party – and talk about the awkward peer pressure!)
So to get off the topic, here’s a challenge. The following nine images depict scenes from the Simpsons with a character blurred out. Your task is to identify the character. BONUS points if you can also name the episode the image is from. Good luck!

Just a single (but challenging) puzzle to kick off the week. A friend last week proposed to me this brain teaser and I’m paraphrasing from what I remember. I hope it makes sense.
Good luck!
A visit to your doctor reveals that you are suffering from a rare, but treatable, illness. The treatment is very specific and requires that you take two different pills every day for exactly thirty days. One pill must come from a bottle labeled “A” and the other pill must come from a bottle labeled “B”. Other than the labels on the bottles, the pills look identical to you. Your health plan covers the treatment for the 30 days, but any additional pills will set you back an exorbitant amount of money.
On the first day, you pour a pill out of bottle “A” and place it on a table. When you go to pour a pill out of bottle “B,” you accidentally pour out two pills and lose track of which is which. There are now three pills on the table.
What should you do?
