You forgot 5. She wants to pay her bribe, too. Hopefully he had a heavy cup to carry around.

Yes… I agree with PerkyC.

My route was exactly as given in Nighthawk’s answer. or you can go in the other direction, cos it’s the same…

except that I didn’t skip #5.

That might make it shorter (though not really, cos you have to go right past it anyway)…

But it’s cheating!

After years of running the Tiki Bar… I know you gotta keep an eye on monkeys!

Easy, Jocko just goes through the door and takes the elevator.

The reason NH didn’t include #5 was she was already dead……..see the knife sticking out of her back?

I missed that ‘little’ detail. You could be right ~ she wasn’t hearing the music.

Accepting that the monkey can’t do the diagonals between the windows
 

 

I get
Organ → shoulder → 09 (or Organ → 09 directly)
09 → 05 → 01 → 02 → 06 → 07 → 03 → 04 → 08 → 12 → 11 → 10 → 09 → shoulder

I get this slightly shorter route
Organ → shoulder → 09 (or Organ → 09 directly)
09 → 05 → 01 → 06 → 02 → 07 → 03 → 04 → 08 → 12 → 11 → 10 → 09 → shoulder

The diagonals make the rout longer. To go from one vertical pair of windows on the top two floors to the next there is one horizontal space. Whether you go straight across and then down, or diagonal and then up, you still have the same number of vertical moves. So the only difference is the length of a horizontal step vs the longer diagonal step.

Not that I really care for the sentiment in either.

Go already!

Lying and pretending aren’t love…

and quit playing the victim.

Working on it. Enrolled in a Biogen clinical trial to test a theory. If it works, it will help people everywhere. Still sweet and loving, but I have to answer the same questions a few times. Maddening at times, but worth every minute. I’m sure you and MMM feel the same way about each other.

Yes we do! Keep me posted on this clinical trial, my Friend!

I have just been diagnosed with Parkinsons Plus this February. Doctor says I have 3 to 5 years. So each day is a pleasure. It, too affects the brain. MMM has been like you!

Well now THAT, as we used to say in the old country, bites the Big One.
Good for you for trying to make something positive out of a bad situation. If you can help science find answers to these questions, you contribute to the solution.
Live long and prosper.

Busch Memorial. The 1966 All-Star Game at the new venue would showcase not only the game’s greatest talent but, also, the St. Louis summer at its scorching worst. After the National League labored for 10 innings and a 2-1 victory in 105-degree heat, honorary NL coach Casey Stengel was asked what he thought of the new Busch. “It holds the heat well,” he deadpanned. At least the 75-year-old Stengel made it through the day without suffering from heat exhaustion; 150 others within the stadium weren’t so lucky.

C’mon, Claude. You know the old adage: Let sleeping dogs lie. Ignore it at your peril.

Good morning, Cleophans.

Ahhh. The sleep of the dead. I used to have to be hammered to sleep that hard. Now all I have to do is hold still for a minute.

It’s National Shrimp Day. We ate em yesterday. No wonder they weren’t that good.

Welp…. y’all have a blessed day. (((((HuGz)))))

Here’s a different take on shrimp.
 
From:
“THE HOUSE OF CHAN COOKBOOK”
Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, N. Y.
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 52-5543
Copyright, 1952, by Sou Chan
 
SWEET-AND-SOUR SHRIMP
 
1 Pound fresh large shrimp
Oil for deep frying
 
BATTER FOR SHRIMP
 
1 egg
1/2 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
 
SAUCE
 
1 cup vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons catchup (sic)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded canned pineapple
2 large green peppers, each cut diagonally in 8 pieces
2 large tomatoes, each cut in 6 wedges
1 tablespoon cornstarch
 
Wash the shrimp, shell, clean, and drain them. Split
them along the back but do not cut all the way
through. Beat the egg; add flour, salt, and water, and
beat until smooth. Dip shrimp in the batter; fry in hot
oil till golden. Drain.
 
In a large enamel saucepan put the vinegar, sugar,
1 cup water, catchup, salt, pepper, pineapple, green
peppers, and tomatoes. Bring to boiling point. Mix
cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce;
cook till thickened. Add shrimp; heat; stir; mix thor-
oughly. Cook 1 minute after boiling point is reached.

I have a similar recipe that uses pork.
Chicken works, too.

Sarcasm? Is Claude using sarcasm? Nah. Must be someone else I’m thinking of.
