Here's a really fun game that has the same goal I had in college - to reach about 67%.  The instructions on how to play are below.  See how well you can do in the 5 minutes you have to play.

Instructions:

    * Mouse down to create a circle.
    * If a bouncing ball hits the circle, you'll lose a life.
    * Release the mouse to place the circle.
    * This version is time-locked and will go dead after 5 minutes of play.  

Tips:

    * Watch one spot and wait for it to clear out.
    * All filler balls weigh the same, which means placing small balls on top of big balls can cause a shift in the balance. This is especially useful if you can get a large ball to "push" the bouncing balls towards one side of the screen.
    * Be patient! There's no penalty for running out of time.
    * If possible, avoid the top right corner. If a bouncing ball gets "squished" it will reappear here.
    * Try dropping a ball from near the top of the level. As it travels downward, there will be some null space from where it pushes the bouncing balls out of the way. This is a great place to put more balls!
    * Dropping balls also makes it possible to capture bouncing balls in little cracks, which gives you more space to use.  

The wife was busy frying eggs, when her husband came home. He walked into the kitchen and immediately started yelling. "CAREFUL!!! CAREFUL! MORE OIL! TURN THEM! TURN THEM NOW! WE NEED MORE OIL! THEY ARE GOING TO STICK! CAREFUL! CAREFUL! TURN THEM! TURN THEM!!! HURRY UP! ARE YOU CRAZY! THE OIL IS GOING TO SPILL! USE MORE SALT! THE SALT!!"

The wife was very upset, "What is wrong with you? Why are you yelling like this? Do you think I don't know how to fry an egg?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted you to know what it's like for me when I am driving the car and you're sitting next to me."

With the passing of time new challenges come to life.  There isn't much we can do about it but at least one thing we can do is laugh at our senior moments. Here's a fun song for senior citizens (and those of us hurtling towards that time of life).

A woman went to a walk-in clinic, where she was seen by a young, new doctor. After about three minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant.

She burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.

An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him what had happened.

After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another exam room.

The doctor marched down the hallway back to where the first doctor was and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 59 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was PREGNANT?!"

The young doctor continued to write on his clipboard, and without looking up, asked, "Does she still have the hiccups?"
