Mary notices that Paul has more donuts than he needs, so she takes 4 of his donuts and gives them to Cindy. Now Mary charges both Paul and Cindy 2 donuts for the service she provided. Mary ends up with 8 donuts, Paul and Cindy each with 2. 2. Because they are blue suede shoes. 3. I have never heard of the A.R.D games, but I’ll guess on the first full moon after the summer solstice? 4. 1. Doug is not a ninny. ---

1. Cindy has none. I would have told you if she had some. Plus there are only 12 donuts in a box. 2. They fit the bill. 3. Thread Games is a SDMB forum. Simple anagram. 4. One. As in Syllable. Going forward please study. ---
