Have you checked out the new pair of Air Nike’s Mambusa is sporting? Man, they have those cool open top intake valves for better performance, a sleek new design for better toe comfort, and now they’re made with 40% less plastic, so that’s great for the environment. I won’t lie to you, I’m just a little bit envious.

The last time we played MindTrap was two full weeks ago. I remember two weeks ago well: I had more organs and less children. But that was a different time, a different era. We have all, collectively, moved on. And thank goodness, two weeks ago sucked.

In order to find the questions from the last MindTrap, you can either go into the Mitchievillian archives and search, or simply follow this handy lead which I have provided for you. The answers to those questions are as follows: 1) $14   2) A musician band    3) 15

If you answered those three questions correctly, your name is either Rob Huck or Todd. It is not Steamboat McGoo.

In order to answer the next set of MindTrap questions, you will have to follow me past the jump. Don’t be scared, it’s very well lit in there…

It is possible that one, two or all three of these questions have been asked before during a MindTrap game here in Mitchieville. I’m not sure if even one has, but there are only so many MindTrap questions, and this is the fourth year we’ve been playing, and some of the questions look familiar, and I have an itch on my back that I just can’t seem to get to, but really, that is neither here nor there.

Let’s git ‘er dun!

1) If Lily is 10, Son of The Mayor is 20, Ray and Jim are both 5, but Margot is 10, how much is Jennifer, using the same logic?

2) After paying all your bills you are very short of cash. You have a total of $9.60 in your pocket. The number is composed of an equal amount of quarters, dimes and nickels, but no other coins of bills. How many of each of those three coins do you have?

3) Which is the four-digit number in which the first digit is 1/3 the second, the third is the sum of the first and the second, and the last is three times the second?

I’ll have to wolf back my morning tea before I attempt that third question, it made little to no sense when I typed it out. Then again, little ever does…

So there you have it, we are but a few days into the new year and you have some fresh(ish) questions to occupy your New Years Eve alcohol-addled brain. Good job I’m around or you’d be screwing around with Penny Press crosswords like some old fart on a park bench.

All newbies to Mitchieville are encouraged to play. Just leave your answers in the comment box, where NO ONE else but me will check out because we run an honest show here in Mitchieville, and next week I will have the answers for you, and I will also heap praise upon you in you are correct x three.

Congrats to the Huckaroonie and Todd, and good luck to everyone else who will play this week.
