This week’s question
This week I have a mystery that I need your help with. I was eating my dinner and decided to have a slice of bread. It's a fairly new loaf of bread, but the crust was missing and I know there was one there before. Where has the crust gone from my loaf of bread?

Discussion on Current Vote:
You've found the EastBayRag vote page. Here, you get the opportunity to let us know what you think. Each week, we will have votes on important issues. Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.
This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.
Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.
Analysis of Last Week's Vote
The following question was presented:
I've been watching what I eat and doing a bit of exercise in an attempt to lose weight. I need to get rid of my gut as it's just too big now. The thing is, I haven't been weighing myself since I've started doing this. My last weight was at my last visit to the doctor's office. I'm not aiming high, just trying to drop around a pound a week. I have to go to the doctor's again this week on Thursday (for my annual physical) and I'll find out my weight then. It's possible I could have put on weight for all I know. Anyway, how much weight will I have lost on Thursday when I get weighed (5.5 weeks since my last weighing)?
Results:
Less than 2lb was the clear winner with 29% of the votes selected from the following:
- Gained weight (14%)
- None, stayed the same (14%)
- Less than 2lb (29%)
- 3lb or 4lb (14%)
- 5lb or 6lb (14%)
- 7lb or 8lb (14%)
- 9lb or 10lb (0%)
- Over 10lb (0%)
Analysis:
I should have had more faith in what I was trying to do and set bigger ranges as I did indeed lose over 10lb in the 5.5 weeks since my last weighing. According to the scales in the doctors, I lost 12lb, so 2lb a week give or take. That's double my target of $1lb a week. I suspect the rate of weight loss will start to decrease going forward, but I'm not trying break any records. The aim is to get rid of my gut so I can move around a bit easier. I guess we'll see as time passes. My next weighing will be in a couple of weeks when I get my next infusion.
