The Time-Saving Paradox: Everyday Actions That Aren't Saving You Time.

1. Parking the car in reverse vs time to park normally.

2. Using quick clean on the dishwasher then having to re-clean

the dishes that didn't get cleaned enough.

3. Leaving one line in the grocery store for another, then the line

you just left moves faster.

4. Waiting for the snow to stop to shovel, then it's heavier and

you move slower.

5. Rushing through the gate when you get home hoping it will latch,

but it never does so you have to back to latch it.

6. Washing socks and hanging them in pairs as if it takes less time

to sort them wet than dry.

7. Getting a robot vacuum to save time, and having to get everything

ready for it to be able to start vacuum.

8. Asking a smart device instead of typing it in a search engine. By

the third time asking it how to boil an egg, your loved one Googled it

and has already started.

9. Trying to multi task at work, then having to spend more time

re-checking it for errors.

10. Spending 10 minutes circling the parking lot for a close spot when

you could've parked further away and been inside the store by then.

Seattle Resident Acts to Stop Assault on Youth Amid Rising Muggings.

A brave woman in Seattle's Mount Baker neighborhood, known only as Eleanor, intervened to stop three attackers from assaulting a 14-year-old boy and robbing him of his phone. This attack is one of many recent incidents where Seattle teens have been mugged. As police delve into these crimes, citizens are increasing their awareness and altering their routines for better safety, with advice from local authorities on how to protect oneself and belongings.

Who killed Mrs. Smith? riddle

The answer:

The hints

Fans of old-timey whodunnit fiction and Agatha Christie books might be inclined to assume the butler did it. Or maybe you’re considering the gardener’s access to a dangerously sharp implement. Perhaps, you’re wondering about the use of the phrase “evening meal” by the maid—was it poison?

If these observations crossed your mind, then you’re on the right track. Consider the evening and the alibis that make sense within the context of it.

The answer

Indeed, as veteran true-crime watchers know is often the case, the killer was, in fact, the victim’s spouse: Mr. Smith.

The easy-to-miss twist

Like all good detective riddles, the “Who killed Mrs. Smith?” riddle hinges on a detail that’s as easy to miss as it is critical to the case. Mrs. Smith was killed on Sunday evening, as the wording makes abundantly clear. “Evening” commonly refers to twilight—the period just after the sun drops beneath the horizon, but before the darkness of night has settled in.

Except for Mr. Smith, each of the suspects offered an alibi that made sense in the evening. The chef, butler and maid were all engaged in preparations for the evening meal. The gardener was lopping off branches in the garden at a time when there would be enough natural light for the task at hand. But Mr. Smith, by contrast, claimed to have been stargazing at the time of Mrs. Smith’s murder. Proper stargazing is not an evening activity because any lingering twilight will obscure the observation of the stars.

Now, if Mr. Smith had been stargazing for the first time ever that day, then his alibi might have been plausible as, say, a rookie stargazer mistake. But Mr. Smith also made clear that stargazing was a “beloved pastime” of his, thereby implying he was no rookie. In other words, Mr. Smith’s alibi simply does not add up.
