For 2 Scooby Snacks:
I live on Kennedy Boulevard, where there are 6 houses on my side of the block. The house numbers are consecutive even numbers. The sum of all 6 house numbers is 8790. You don't know which block I live on, and it's a long street, but I will tell you that I live in the lowest number on my side of the block. What's my address?

1460, 1462, 1464, 1466, 1468, 1470. Wow we actually just learned how to solve similar problems in algebra yesterday.

oh and yeah, I got the answer by subtracting 6 from 8790 then you divide that by 6 , and you get 1464. And that number is part of the sequence then you can work form there

For 1 Scooby Snack:
Is it possible to cut a round block of cheese into 8 equal size pieces, with only 3 cuts? If so, how?

yes it is possible. Here is how:
assuming the cheese is in the shape of a cylinder here are the cuts:
You make 1 cut splitting it in half vertically. Now you have two smaller cylenders. Now you cut those in half vertically then again cut them into fourths.
I know I was conusing so il try to put a picture some how

Yes, two across in an x, one through the middle (half way up the side of the wheel)
first 2 gives you 4, then cut the wheel in half = 8 pieces

Last one for today:
For 3 Scooby Snacks: If the puzzle you solved before you solved the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was harder than the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?
