Today's 'Fun-Friday' activity - Staying Sharp!

March is our “Kick the Habit” month on Ignite, where we tackle unhealthy habits. Drinking too much coffee, not getting enough sleep or skipping meals…admit it, we all have them. While we don’t think of stress as a bad habit, most of us deal with it daily.  So to add enjoyment to the end of your week, Fridays on Ignite is focusing on fun.

 

For this week’s Fun Friday, I wanted to break that lethargic feeling you get on Fridays. Let’s be honest, working hard on Fridays is tough. The weekend is near and being lazy sounds so much more enticing. To get you back on track, I’ve included some puzzles to energize your mind and get you that much closer to a stress-free weekend.

 

Puzzle #1

What comes next in this sequence:

 

GWB, WJC, GHWB, RWR, JEC, GRF, RMN, LBJ, ?????

 

Puzzle #2

How many squares, of any size, can you find on this chess board, which do not contain a Rook?

Puzzles and games are great ways to give yourself a mental jumpstart and kick that unmotivated feeling.

And don’t forget to send us your puzzle answers. Simply submit your answers as a comment to this blog and next week, we’ll post the answers.
