Riddle:
Every Thursday morning at 9 a.m. sharp, Miss Alice Gain leaves the comfort of her apartment, and travels about one mile to a place where she does something unpleasant. Upon arriving at her destination, Miss Gain spends between two and three hours looking through two circular windows. As she gazes through these windows, she sometimes sees flashes of white, and sometimes observes streaks of color passing before her eyes. There are several sets of these windows, but Alice usually peers through only two of them. Despite the fact Miss Gain dislikes these visits, she repeats this routine every week; and incredibly, she even has to spend a good amount of money for this activity. Has Alice lost her proverbial marbles, or is there method in her apparent madness? What in the world has Miss Alice Gain been doing?
Answer: From her apartment, Alice travels to a local laundromat to wash her clothing each week. The windows she looks through are the front-loading doors to the washer and dryer, where she usually places her whites into one machine, and her colors into another.

Riddle:
A group of teenagers had gathered in a park one sunny day, when the following conversation took place: "I'm hoping for just one four," said thirteen-year-old Nevaeh. "All I can see are threes," responded fourteen-year-old Emery. "My sister found a six once," chimed in fifteen-year-old Johanna, "but that was just pure luck," she added. "You’re full of baloney!" shouted fourteen-year-old Tristen. "There's no such thing as a six!" he continued emphatically. "Oh, yeah?" said Johanna in rebuttal, "I'll have you know, my grandfather told me someone once found a sixty-three, and sent in a picture to the Guinness Book of World Records to prove it." "Well, I’m hoping for a sixty-three, but I'll gladly settle for a four," said Nevaeh, in an effort to break up the argument and establish friendly relations. "I'll second that emotion," said Emery, "but we’ve been looking for an hour now, and all I see are threes." What activity were the teens engaged in at the park?
Answer: The four teenagers were hunting for four-leaf clovers in the grass at the park. According to the Guinness Book, the clover with the most petals ever, was found by a Japanese man in August of 2023. It had sixty-three petals.
