You have a target with six rings, bearing the numbers 16, 17, 23, 24, 39, and 40. How can you score exactly 100 points, by shooting at the target.This seems so simple: Ignore all the higher numbers. 16 + 17 + 17 = 50. Do that twice and you have 2 x 50. So, hit the 16 twice and the 17 four times and you're at 100.
Henry, Ross and I have spent the past few days in and around Cooperstown, NY (home of the Baseball Hall of Fame). We toured the Ommegang Brewery today. The tour guide said the name, Ommegang, comes from the Flemish for milling around (close enough) because it's an annual festival in Belgium. Here are some photos of ommegang.

OMG! I got a range pick without submitting one!
Sorry Paul -- We were on vacation, so mistakes were made. I've deleted you and added Marie and Kathy.
Magdalen, Ross and Henry,
I envy your trip to Cooperstown. I am a baseball worshipper and the MLB HOF is my Mecca. Maybe someday.
Beer ad campaign slogan idea:
"Omega, the ultimate in Greek letters; Ommegang, the ultimate in fine beers!"
For those who like their "target puzzles" a bit more challenging, I posted what I believe is a "toughie" over at Puzzleria! this morning.

I just made $10 donations to WSKG (in honor of KDW) and the Red Cross for Disaster Relief (in honor of B. Haven). Congratulations both! I think I'm caught up now ... if not, let me know.
