Shameless Trolling - For Touring Tips

Going to a birthday party for my Aunt - 95 years young. So have to get going early in the morning.

Here is the Saturday trivia for pursuit.

March 6 is a “perfect sum” day because if we write today’s date in the form 03/06/09, the sum of the monthly and the day equal the year (3+6=9). Including today, how many “perfect sum” days are there in the 21st century? :scratch

No takers? Not even a guess?

So here is the answer:

365 perfect sum days. There are 365 days in a year and every month/day combination represents a perfect sum day for some 21st-century year.

For example, 02/05/ if February 5, 2007 and 12/29 is December 29, 2041. The only tricky date is leap day 02/29, or February 29. Since 2 + 29 = 31, and 2031 is not a leap year we that February 29 cannot be a ÔÇ£perfect sumÔÇØ day for any year.
 
Some less nerve racking may be in order:

Put the same three-letter word in each of the blanks below to make three new words.

__________ SIZE

__________ Let

__________ RICE​

On the money! for the man from the BIG Gig

Scientists note that in 1893, when Munch worked on the painting, the Indonesian volcanic island of Krakatoa erupted, spewing debris into the atmosphere that created spectacular blood red twilight in Europe.
 
Krakatoa - the loadest bang in history (trivia)

the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNTÔÇöabout 13,000 times the yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 KT) that devastated Hiroshima, Japan during World War II and four times the yield of the Tsar Bomba (50 MT), the largest nuclear device ever detonated.

The 1883 eruption ejected approximately 21 cubic kilometres (5.0 cu mi) of rock, ash, and pumice.

The cataclysmic explosion was distinctly heard as far away as Perth in Western Australia, about 1,930 miles (3,110 km) away, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, about 3,000 miles (5,000 km) away.
 
Rarely noted volcano in New Zealand

Lake Taupo is a lake situated in the North Island of New Zealand. It has a perimeter of approximately 193 kilometres, a deepest point of 186 metres and a surface area of 616 square kilometres. The largest lake by surface area in the country.

The lake lies in a caldera created following a huge volcanic eruption (see supervolcano) approximately 26,500 years ago. According to geological records, the volcano has erupted 28 times in the last 27,000 years. It has predominantly erupted rhyolitic lava although Mount Tauhara formed from dacitic lava.

The largest eruption, known as the Oruanui eruption, ejected an estimated 1,170 cubic kilometres of material and caused several hundred square kilometres of surrounding land to collapse and form the caldera. The caldera later filled with water, eventually overflowing to cause a huge outwash flood.

1,170 cubic kilometers is about 500 times larger than Krakatoa.
