CD Clock A clock made from CD, so simple and yet such fun! Paint the CD to match to your room. This makes a great gift for teens, parents and friends.

Parental supervision is recommended. This project is rated EASY to do.

What You Need: * Old CD or Internet CD (asks your parents first) * "Painters" paint markers * Clock works * Metal washers (hardware stores carry these individually) How to Make It: 1. Paint the CD with paint markers in any design you want. Let it dry.

2. Write the numbers around the edge of the CD.

Make sure you space them evenly.

3. Assemble the clock works onto the CD. You will need to get a bigger washer than what is included in most clock works and place this on the top of the CD to keep the clock together.

4. 4. Give as a present or keep for yourself.

As you might expect, they are so awkward that it is hard to fix a month to get together.

The complaints are: 1. The Northern group doesn't want a meeting in a month that has an even number of letters in its name, the only exception being June.

2. The Southern group don't want a month that ends with the letter B, E, R.

3. The Eastern group doesn't want a month with exactly 30 days in it.

4. The Western group doesn't want a month whose first letter is the same as any other month.

Now this rules out ALL the months of the year. So to be really awkward, the society agrees to hold its meeting in the month which has MOST objects against it. Which month is it? Answer: November
