Happy Thanksgiving !
Very short blog for this week. We were two people short from another math problem blog on the number of bucks harvested this hunting season!

Please let us know if there is anything in particular you would like for us to discuss in future blogs. We did some telemetry practice this week. Even after a few weeks of not practicing, it was surprising how quickly we were able to pick
