Skeptical Puzzle ()[edit]
This Week's Puzzle
Identify the 6th number in this sequence: .426, .424, .420, .420, .409
Last Week's Puzzle
I notably lurk on the fringes of physics
I rely on people's ignorance of water's specific capacity
I was the world's only teacher of my practice from 1977-1984
I don't spend much time doing what I do
I keep my momentum, yet try to stay uneven
And if those dollars are burning a hole in your pocket, I can teach you to attain virtually any goal
Who am I?
Answer: Polly Burkin
