Sleepy Thursday - Part 1/Nageb/Vincent's Puzzle

I was SOooo not in the mood for lesson today. Must be due to my sleeping at close to 3am. Nageb was at his corniest again today. He needs to conduct self-checks soon, before his jokes get unbearable. Acting the fool seemed funny in the beginning, but it's really stale now... If he should feel bored when he's retired, I think he can partner Ting and perform at parties. It will be a piece of cake given the way Nageb clowns around these days, while Ting seems almost ready to etch a 'LAME' on his forehead. Still, having jokers beat having nannies - the kind that put children to sleep. (Hmmm...this expression sounds awkward...)

I do not know whether I should thank him for it, but the puzzle that Vincent lent me distracted me somewhat during the second half of the lecture. It looks deceptively simple, but 10secs later, I was convinced of its six stars difficulty. The keyword was not very helpful - how is 'anthlers' suppose to help me solve that thing?

Once again, Wei Ren demonstrates his remarkable ability to solve puzzles without sight. A slight turn of the head to look at someone passing-by, and 'Presto'! The puzzle is solved! Putting it back wasn't as straightforward as I thought though, so once again, Wei Ren was not able to complete his 'performance'. No matter. I was able to figure out how to put it back, so thanks to Wei Ren, I was able to master the puzzle faster than I would have done so on my own. Let's see Vincent try it on Saturday...
