Use Science to Find Your Favorite Blog.
As you may know, I started college life as a math major. Yes, you’re right, I didn’t end my college career in exactly the way I’d hoped—the world’s mathematicians sigh in relief. I was pretty much like one of the dogs in the cartoon. But, that’s another story.
This weekend, I dug into my old book of formulas and found a scientific method to help predict your favorite blog. It worked for me.
Now, remember, this is a scientifically vetted and proven method. Accordingly, the results are one hundred percent accurate. Like Joe Isuzu, “You have my word on it.”
So, using the instructions below, find your favorite blog from the list of finalists.
—Pick a number from 1 – 9,
—Multiply by 3,
—Add 3,
—Multiply by 3,
—Add the two digits derived (a math word) in the above step.
—Using that number, find you all-time favorite blog from the following list…
Your all-time favorite blog is:
1. Mystery Writing is Murder
2. Straight From Hel
3. The Old Silly
4. A Million Blogging Monkeys (This one has no chance and is included as an act of charity and mercy.)
5. Blood Red Pencil
6. Following The Whispers
7. Jane’s Ride
8. It’s A Mystery
9. Imagineering Fiction
10. Break Through Blog for the Aspiring Author
Well, what was the result? Hmmm, “imagine” that.
As always, I appreciate the time you take to visit. See you on Wednesday. Best Wishes, Joe. Galen.

Oh my goodness. How did you DO that? It’s unkind to baffle the poor English major this early in the morning.
Elizabeth
Mystery Writing is Murder
I agree with Elizabeth – how did you do that!?! Regardless of the outcome, I’m really happy to have my blog included on your list. Love the cartoon.
Love it Galen!!!
I am the nerd who picked ‘x’ as her favourite number, but it was still pretty damn accurate!
I came up with number 11. I guess I need to review my Calculus.
(And I appreciate your charity and mercy. Always!)
Ha! fabulous. You are a writer who splits my right brain husband and my left brain self. But it was wrong! I won’t tell you which it said or which is my favorite…but I am proud to say I have been to all 10 blogs!
Glad to have found this one as well.

I’m with Elizabeth and Jane. How did you do that? And how unfair to all the English majors. I came up with 36. Thanks for including my blog on the list. Happy Monday, Galen.

Uh uh, nope – not foolin the The Old Silly with THIS one, you sly old mathematician prankster, you.
But of course I WOULD have picked #9 anyway, dawg. lol
My goodness, I made the list! I’ll join the ranks of the befuddled English majors even though I majored in Theatre!
Elspeth
Fun! Guess what my favourite was….
I didn’t see my blog listed there in the #9 slot! Hmmm Had to have my husband the math whiz do this one for me!
Well! It’s obvious this election was rigged.
Love it! Well done #9 blog…
They’re all good blogs. Some of my faves!
LOL! A much needed laugh as I take a break from writing furiously for NaNo!
