Weekly he publishes a fascinating search challenge for readers then offers the answers a few days later. The obstacles vary in problem, however I always find out something from them no matter how difficult they are. A few years ago he published a difficulty called
Whats In Common? In the years given that, Ive utilized different adjustments of that challenge to assist trainees find and practice making use of a variety of search tools and techniques.
The Whats In Common? difficulty asks you to determine the shared attributes of two or more photos, events, and or situations. In Dans original post he asked readers to discover the commonness in between 3 floods and he asked readers to find the commonness in between three plants.

What do these 2 have in common besides being canines?
