1-17-2025: I discovered another math trick during my vacation! Now that it's over, I uploaded today! (Referring to the date on the left time-wise) My 111th math trick is entitled: "Super Summation 10: Palindromic Adding of Consecutive Integers"! Also, any new cartoon image that I draw from now on will be put in the Math Section, so the table on the Index Page will tell you where in that section you can find them.
1-27-2025: Discovered another math trick: "Matrix Magic 3"! Also, in the temperature conversion function cartoon, I put parentheses around the fraction 9/5 to prevent confusion about the multiplication. (It looked as if the variable x was part of the denominator instead of the numerator! And when the variable is in the denominator of a fraction, it affects the multiplication & turns it into division! (You mathematicians know what I'm talking about, don't you?))
1-28-2025: I added a bonus mini-comic strip to the Math Section entitled: "When Division by Zero Happens in Functions!" You can find it in the 2nd quarter of the section: "Bonus Facts". (Note: The most recently-posted bonus facts are at the botttom.)
2-7-2025: Good news! I was able to convert 2 more mini-animations into Quicktime format! The ones entitled: "Maxie Mumsecurity Playing With 3 Buttons" & "Penny Pincher & the Giant Teddy Bear" are now available in Quicktime format!
2-10-2025: Added another Web page to the Math Section: "Winning 100% of the Time or Less"! You can find it in the 3rd Quarter of the Section: "Pages About Specific Numbers". Also, about the bonus facts related to angles of complex numbers, I replaced the word "angle" near every pair of parentheses with "arg" to mean argument because I just recently learned that the angle of a complex number in respect to the origin point & the positive side of the real axis is called the argument of the complex number. Plus, that angle is normally called positive when it goes counterclockwise.
2-17-2025: Discovered another math trick: "Powerful Patterns 7: Multiplying Specific Numbers by 5"!
2-24-2025: Good news! I was able to convert "Alice L. Vs. A Forkman" into Quicktime format! I also added another bonus fact to the Math Section about the magnitude(or absolute value) of complex numbers & it has something to do with square roots! Don't forget that the bonus facts can be found in the 2nd quarter of the Math Section. (Note: The most recently-posted bonus facts are at the botttom.)
3-7-2025: I posted a brand new picture of Miss IBM in the Math Section with a tip about using calculators better! You can see it just above the list of math tricks!
3-11-2025: Discovered another math trick: "Nullifying Negativity in Subtraction"!
3-13-2025: There is some good news but also not-so-bad news: I converted "Bilingual Buttons" into Quicktime format, but unfortunately, I had to leave out the soundtrack of this mini-animation. Why? Well, it's a complicated, inexplicable reason why. So unfortunately, you can't hear the soundtrack in the Quicktime version. It can only be heard in the original Flash version, if you have the right software.
3-17-2025: I added another bonus fact to the Math Section about adding 1 to the square root of 2 or subtracting 1 from the square root of 2, considering reciprocals! Remember that the newest bonus fact can be found at the bottom of the 2nd quarter of the Math Section: "Bonus Facts".
3-18-2025: I added another bonus fact to the Math Section about the radical roots of the imaginary unit i! There's a formula for calculating them!
3-28-2025: Discovered another math trick: "Implication & Negation With 1 Simple Statement"!
4-2-2025: Good news, viewers! 3 more of the epic animations have been converted into Quicktime format! "Burning Behind", "E.A.R.T.H." & "Evil Easter Eggs" are now available in Quicktime format!
4-6-2025: I fixed the Web page entitled: "Difference Vs. Similarity starring the Squashington Sextuplets!", which can be found in the Special Joke Subset of the Extra Section. I thought I already fixed it since the Adobe company killed off the Flash Player in 2021, but I found out today that this Web page was still not operating properly due to how I originally designed it for the Flash Player. Anyway, you should have no problem enjoying that special cartoon in the Extra Section now that I fixed it, even if you don't have Flash software; furthermore, you can still find the original Flash version at my DeviantArt account.
I also posted an image of the List of Logical Operations you'll see in my truth tables, starring Brain! You can find it in the final quarter of the Math Section: "Various Information About Math/Navigation".
4-9-2025: Good news, viewers! 4 of the blooper animations on the Outrageous Outtakes Page are now available in Quicktime format! These are their titles: Apple Accident From "Amicable Apples", Danielle's Prehensile Foot Dance From "Banana Bash 2", Mr. Fool's Stubborn Remote/Devon's Vanishing Cream Wears Off Too Soon/Skating Goldilocks From "Trophy Trek" & Practice Makes Perfect...or Does It? From "Archy Ant Karate"
4-10-2025: The blooper animation entitled: Broken String of Candy's Electric Bass From "Goofy Guitar Girl" has been added to the List of Outrageous Outtakes since the Adobe company killed off the Flash Player. This was the animation that was shown on that Web page that explains special information about the Outrageous Outtakes, which can be found in the Extra Section. Just look under "Outrageous Outtakes" in the Extra Section. You can no longer see this specific animation on that Web page because of what the Adobe company has done, however, you can now download a Quicktime version of it on the Outrageous Outtakes Page, if you don't have Flash software.
4-12-2025: Great news! I converted 12 more animations into Quicktime format! 5 epic animations, 5 blooper animations & 2 mini-animations have been converted! Here are their titles: "Patience's Shoe Trick!", "Weight Vs. Strength: Gravity As A Referee!", "A Monkeyish Version of Jenga", "Patience's Shoe Trick: The Extended Version", "Planet Principles", "Polluting Paint", "Zorbon: A Combination of Soccer & Billiards" & the bloopers from "Archy's Podophobia or I'll Be A Monkey's Aunt", "Boogie Fights", "Cheerleader Challenges", "Derek's Surfing Craze" & "E.A.R.T.H."!
4-13-2025: Wonderful news, viewers! I converted the last 2 epic animations - "Mr. Crazy's Rampage" & "Trophy Trek" - into Quicktime format! Now, ALL 39 of the epic animations are available in Quicktime format! Yipee! Enjoy, non-Flashers! However, I still have 8 more blooper animations & 67 more mini-animations to convert into Quicktime format, but I'll get to them eventually. Please be patient, folks; otherwise, if you have Flash software, then you can still view them all!
I also fixed the puzzle game entitled: "Calvin's Kooky Cogs" since I noticed that the animation wasn't showing up on the Web page because it was missing in the Web server.
Finally, Thanks for 224,000 hits!
4-15-2025: Some more wonderful news, viewers! I converted the 8 remaining bloopers into Quicktime format! So now, every blooper animation is finally available in Quicktime format! Woo-hoo! Enjoy, non-Flashers! Also, the mini-animation entitled: "Matter of Infinity 5: Giantess Size Infinity Starring Alice P. Liddell!" is now available in Quicktime format, too!
4-17-2025: Good news, viewers! 2 more of the mini-animations have been converted into Quicktime format: "Alice's Size Problem" & "Burger & Sally's Video Game Fight"!
4-21-2025: More good news, viewers! Another mini-animation has been converted into Quicktime format! Its title is: "Brickbusting Calvin"!

5-1-2025: Good news, viewers! 7 more mini-animations have been converted to Quicktime format: "Derek & the Goblinoid Army", "Dottie Doll Petting & Stepping On A Magic Button With Her Prehensile Foot", "Misner Space Madness!", "Penny Pincher Petting & Stepping On A Magic Button With Her Prehensile Foot", "Tina's Sticky Boot Magic!", "Tonka's Tunnel" & "Traffic Lane Logic"!
I also noticed that "Thanks For 222,000 Hits!" & "Tina's Footprint Magic!" were deleted by mistake, so I put them back. Finally, I numbered the mini-animations to keep track.
5-4-2025: I bolded the numbers of the mini-animations to make them easier to read. I also converted 8 more mini-animations to Quicktime format: "Candy Stripes Caresses Benji's Back With Her Feet" & its 2nd version where she wears socks, "Sally's Sticky Stomp or Gooey Gumball Game!" & its close-up version, "Silly Snake the Rolling Reptile", "Spiral Fall", "The Squashington Sextuplets' Weight Gag" & "Telephone Tune". I also created another Web page that explains what a perfect time loop is; there's a hyperlink to it on the Mini-Animation Page. Plus, this new Web page has 2 bonus mini-animations to view! They're both in GIF format so that they'll display on the Web page. You should also have no problem downloading them for your collection.
I also got a new hit counter today since my old one stopped working. (The owners of the website of my previous hit counter suddenly started forbidding me to use any hit counter from their website!)
5-5-2025: Good news, viewers! 5 more mini-animations are now available in Quicktime format! Danielle Lipstick stars in each one! The close-up versions of her playing with her teddy bear with her feet are the mini-animations that got converted, so did the mini-animations of her breaking a stick with her feet & playing with a maracas & a toy goomba with her feet! You should know which ones I'm talking about by the titles!
5-7-2025: Discovered another math trick: "Complex Number Kookiness 8"!
5-9-2025: Good news, viewers! 7 more mini-animations have been converted to Quicktime format: "Dick Slicing Burnt Breadsticks", "Diving Derek", "Friendly Fire Immunity Spaces", "Gingerbread Chase", "Goldie Plays With Archy", "Goldilocks' Driving Tip" & "Michelle & Tonka Demonstrate Dreamtime"!
5-12-2025: Good news, viewers! 6 more mini-animations are now available in Quicktime format! Their titles are: "Graham & Mack's Race In A Motel of Complex Gravitation" & its fixed camera version, "Lady Fingersandtoes' Hands & Feet Switch Roles", "The Lipstick Sisters Play Leg-Catch!", "Mandelle Lipstick & the Toy Pedal" & its sequel: "Mandelle Lipstick & the Toy Pedal Again!"
5-14-2025: Good news, viewers! 14 more mini-animations have been converted to Quicktime format: "Lady Fingersandtoes Plays With Her Sandal & Rubber Ball" (both of the foot versions), "Lady Fingersandtoes' Sandal Stamp", every animation of "Michelle Lipstick & the Rubber Ducky", "Molly & Tinkerbell Play Checkers", "Multitask V: Goldilocks Reads Her Cookbook & Feeds the Dormouse", "Pedal Poker Patience" & "Penny Pincher & the Caterpillar"!
I also updated the Web page about the irrational number phi(φ) in the Math Section! There's a new note to read about that special function on the Web page...
5-15-2025: Great news, viewers! The 12 remaining mini-animations have been converted to Quicktime format! Now, every mini-animation on the Mini-Animation Page is finally available in Quicktime format! All 114! Enjoy, non-Flashers! And boy, am I glad to be done with this project!
5-16-2025: I updated a Web page in the Math Section a little bit. The page entitled: "The Names of Numbers in Math Problems" has a new, short note about multiplication. It's just a reminder that you can also call the multipler & the multiplicand factors. You can find it in the 3rd quarter of the Math Section: "Pages About Specific Numbers".
5-21-2025: On the answer page for the puzzle game entitled: "Musical Logic 4: Tempo Timing", I fixed the text in the animated GIF so that it's easier to read. Before, the text on the box that Susan Amy Martin touches with her foot was so pixelated that it couldn't be read properly! The texture of animations tend to pixelate when they're converted to GIF's, but as SWF's, the resolution is so good that even small text can be read clearly because the texture is so clean! However, since the Adobe Company killed off the Flash Player, SWF's can't be displayed on Web pages anymore; that's why this specific animation for that puzzle game had to be converted into a GIF.
I also uploaded 2 new images of Danielle Lipstick in her princess outfit in some of the math tricks of the Math Section! You can see their titles on the Index Page!
5-22-2025: I added 2 bonus mini-animations on the Perfect Time Loop Explanation Page, explaining about a special type of time loops called yo-yos. The hyperlink to that page is on the Mini-Animation Page.
5-31-2025: Added another bonus fact about complex numbers in Quadrant I in the Math Section! Remember that you can find the newest bonus fact at the bottom of the Math Section's 2nd quarter: "Bonus Facts".
6-2-2025: Discovered another math trick for the Math Section: "Complex Number Kookiness 9"! Also included a brand new cartoon image to go with the Web page for this new trick! Now you can see my principal character in his pajamas!
6-11-2025: Discovered another math trick for the Math Section: "Nifty Number Nine & Its Multiples Revisited"! (Yes, it's a sequel to a previous math trick, as you may have guessed!)
