Derwent Library

Well today, I attended a book club discussing the Carnegie awards and the shortlist for it. As part of the group, we all give a review for the books and then upload them on the website. I chose Monsters of Men which appeared to be the most challenging book there. I then realised It was the third of a series and asked to get the first two first to make reading more entertaining by reading the whole set. After a wearing 10 minutes of searching for the books in the library system, I was presented with the whole set to go home with, to be extended in 4 weeks at the next meeting. After leaving the library at 1:00pm I came home to have jobs thrust in my face. What a fun day this will be.

Riddle of the day

Answer to the last riddle:

You ask the first robot, "What would the other robot say if I asked if there is treasure behind his door?"
 (The truth is the opposite of his answer.) If the robot "X" says 'yes' then there is no treasure behind robot "Y"'s door. If robot "X" says 'no' then the treasure his behind robot "Y"'s door. Hint: It has to do with the math principle 1x(-1)=-1 and (-1)x1=-1. If you involve both robots you are guarenteed a lie to your question.
