Not one to give up, Greg realizes that he's only been told not to sell toys at school. He begins thinking about other ways to make money. His plan moves into action over the summer when he decides to make his own miniature comic books to sell. When 6th grade starts, Greg is ready and begins selling his comic books. Soon the annoying girl across the street begins selling her own miniature picture books! Their rivalry launches them into many heated arguments and more visits to the principal's office. Will their rivalry end? Who can get the most kids to part with their lunch money? How long will the principal let this go on? You should spend a little of your lunch money on this book. You won't be disappointed!
The lightning bugs are gone from sight,
But crickets still chirp their songs at night.
One last chance to swim in the pool,
Before the kids go back to school,
Before the weather gets too cool.
Fall will be here very soon!
How much longer till next June?
RULES: You must place a digit, from 1 through 9 in every empty box on the grid, so that when you are finished, every row, every column and every small (3x3) square has each number from 1 through 9, but the each digit can occur only one time in each row or each column or each small, 3x3 square.
Here is an example of a completed Sudoku:
According to the data given about planet 2003UB313, the distance light could travel in one year is 7,300,000,000,000 miles!! (The "official" distance of a light year is 5,865,696,000,000 miles) If I hiked from the sun to Proxima Centauri, and I used 7.3 X 10^12 miles as a light year, I would have to walk 30,806,000,000,000 miles! That's a lot of walking!!
