  3. I always enjoy reading these. I can’t think fast enough to join the challenge. I’d be stuck on the first one for hours.

    1. Just to let you know, there’s no time limit on these, so you don’t have to join in on the day. Comments do close after a few weeks, but you can still pingback. You don’t have to answer them all so if you want to play along, just chime in.
