Answer to the last puzzle:  The river was frozen and the cat walked across on the ice to the other side.
The new riddle:
When moving forward in life you'll be doing this for sure,
But physically you do it without even knowing,
And when you're all done part of you keeps going,
​You want it that way so you keep learning,

Fun Brain Facts

  • The average adult brain weighs three pounds (1.4 kg). That's about as much as a bag of onions, a pair of boots, or a two-slice toaster. 
  • A newborn baby’s brain grows 1 percent larger each day until the infant’s about three months old.
  • The human brain is more than three times as big as the brains of other mammals of similar size. 
  • By the time you turn nine years old, your brain will be around 95 percent of the size of a grownup’s brain, yet you still can’t drive a car.
  • While your brain only makes up about 2 percent of your body weight, it uses 20% of your daily energy supply. That’s a lot of energy spent sending and receiving billions of messages in a single day!
  • The brain can store as much information as one million hours of TV shows!
  • The human brain is as big as the whole internet! While your brain might have the storage capacity to hold the entire internet, it’s limited by how quickly it can store facts and memories.

My name is FRONTAL LOBE, and I'm pretty much in charge of all complex thinking, life planning, imaging, decision-making, and problem-solving.

I'm PARIETAL LOBE and I'm here to help you feel things like touch, pain, and pressure. I also step in if you're about to burn the roof of your mouth on a hot slice of pizza. But do you ever listen to me?! Ask the roof of your mouth.

Hey there! I'm OCCIPITAL LOBE and people say that I'm a bit of a visionary mostly because I process light and help you see.

The name is CEREBELLUM and without me, you would fall over. I help you with fine movements and balance.

Did somebody call my name? I'm TEMPORAL LOBE. I process every word that enters the ear. I'm good at helping you find your memories.

Check in tomorrow to learn some more facts about the brain.
