Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Apr 22, 2014)

Darts, Pt II



Boudreaux, a master dartsman, was bragging to his bar mates that he was such a consummate player, he could hit the dartboard in any location at will.



"I'll wager a hundred dollars that, no matter what position you name on the board, I'll be able to hit it."



Thibedeaux, tired of Boudreaux's windbaggery, shouted out an answer.



Boudreaux stammered for a few moments and at first refused to pay. The other bar patrons, however, made sure he held up his end of the wager. Boudreaux slammed a hundred dollar bill on the counter and stormed out.



Where on the dartboard did Thibedeaux suggest?





Check Braingle.com for the answer.

Would You Live in a Apartment the Size of a Parking Space?

SCADpad – For the Crowded City Future


SCADpad, the latest project by the Savannah College of Art and Design asked students, faculty, and alumni to create a livable space that is the size of a parking space! This is what came of it.



These little spaces are a mere 16 feet long by 8 feet wide.






The project is a suggested solution to expensive city life.


Crowded cities, little housing, and traffic filled commutes are a problem already. When it’s easier to walk or to take public transportation than drive, wouldn’t you prefer to live in a small home that is closer?


How about the extreme? Lliving in an apartment right next to work the size of a parking spot!





The results are creative! The apartments span from places I’m sure I would be happy living in- fancy bathroom and all – to spaces styled after this true oddity:





I love these micro houses and if you want to learn more head over to the SCADpad Website or keep scrolling down for more pictures!
