...That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
Another moment not playing Word Genius
Or to take your phone against its sea of troubles,
And by challenging solve them.
We just launched two new levels in Word Genius, What's Your Sign? and To Be or Not to Be. And no, there is nothing noble about not playing it. Give it a shot!
To get you in the mood, here's a little trouble for you. A famous Shakespearean quote is embedded in the admittedly odd text below. The quote itself is 29 letters long, meaning only 19 letters were added; we're not counting punctuation or whitespace. All the letters of the quote appear in the correct order in the text (we only inserted additional letters).All over? Call the Rusted Cafe. We down a strong, strong ounce!
What's the original Shakespearean quote?

Two basketball playing brothers, Paul and Max both made it to the NCAA March Madness tournament, playing on different basketball teams. Unfortunately, they ended up on opposite sides of the bracket so if their teams were going to meet, it would have to be in the championship final. That would be really difficult.
They still wanted to put a friendly bet on it, so they bet dinner on which one would score more total points in the tournament.
Max averaged 12 points per game through the tournament, but his team, the 9th-seeded College of Collard Collages (Go, Fightin' Art Installations!), finally met their match and lost against the 4th-seeded Really Tall Tech. They did not fulfill their dream of making the Final Four.
Paul had been averaging 11 points per game in the tournament when his team, the 10th-seeded Montessori University of Dentistry (Go, Fightin' Drill Bits!) started their game against the 8th-seeded Pretty Good U. Unfortunately, they lost, so also failed to reach the Final Four.
At the end of that game, he totaled his points, and he figured out that the brothers actually tied with the same number of total points each.
How many points did Paul score in that last game?

That's a little forward of you. But you want my phone number? OK, you'll have to work for it.
I have a valid 7-digit US phone number (you already know the area code, right?). All the digits are different. The crazy thing is, the product of the first three digits is the same as the product of the middle three digits, which is the same as the product of the last three digits. Crazy, right?
Still can't figure it out? OK, fine. The sum of the first two digits is the third digit, and the last digit is more than the 6th digit.
So... what's my number?

One day, a very, very hungry caterpillar with a wicked sweet tooth found itself at the bottom of a massive ice cream cone (a right conical sugar cone, of course, because cake cones are disgusting). A giant ice cream scoop descends from the sky and plops a sphere of triple chocolate swirl on top of the cone, fitting perfectly in the cone (half of the ice cream is in the cone, half on top). The caterpillar immediately starts the slow, drool-worthy crawl straight up the side of the cone, licking its non-existent lips with its non-existent tongue the whole time.
The caterpillar reaches the top in 24 minutes, just as the ice cream finished melting, filling the cone to the very top! But this very hungry caterpillar is also very picky and likes its melted ice cream a little warmer. So it decides to take a nice stroll (at the same pace) around the rim of the cone to savor the anticipation. It makes it all the way around once and… and… and… dives right in! Mmmmmm…
How long did the caterpillar take to walk around the rim of the cone?

The first day of Christmas (the day my true love gave me just a single partridge in a pear tree) is actually Christmas day. So on 12/25/2017, my true love gave me 1 gift.
