Serena, I am guilty of not obeying this mantra, basically all of the time: "I don't work on different tasks because they are easier or more fun."
I have papers to grade versus, "Ms. Chou, can you look at this fun AMC problem?" The fun AMC problem wins. Always. I'm lame. :) Good to read your newsletter! :)
Haha my weaknesses are usually making a document prettier or solving a low impact but easy problem :) Thanks for the throwback of AMC problems - haven't thought of those in awhile!
A faulty car odometer proceeds from digit 3 to digit 5, always skipping the digit 4, regardless of position. If the odometer now reads 002005, how many miles has the car actually traveled?

I got 1462. That was very fun! I'm going to start doing more math puzzles.
