Riddle Me This... What type of house weighs the least?
I’m a four-digit number! My 2nd digit is twice greater than my 3rd. The sum of all my digits is thrice greater than my last digit! The product of my 3rd and 4th digits is 12 times greater than the ratio of my 2nd to 3rd. What am I?

Sand Jack O Lantern Craft What you'll need:
• Clean, empty baby food jar • Black sharpee marker • Green paint • Paint brush • Green construction paper or foam • Glue • Scissors • Colored sand (available at craft stores)
• Spoon
1. Paint the lid to the baby food jar
green. We found it easiest to dab the paint on - it's not the easiest surface to paint. 2. Draw the face of your jack-o-lantern onto the jar using the marker. 3. Fill the jar with sand. We used orange for one and all the fall colors for another. A spoon and a funnel make this fun. 4. Screw the lid back onto the jar. Cut a leaf out of green paper or foam and glue it to the top of the jar.
