1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

Once upon a time there was a girl called Kim. Kim promised to write a report about found money every week. "I promise to write a found money report every week," said Kim. One day, Kim let an entire month go by before filing a report. She rationalized this away by saying that if an entire month went by, the total would look even huger. "I'll rationalize it by saying that if I let an entire month go by, it'll seem even huger!", she rationalized. And it turns out that she was right. The end.
