TODAY’S RIDDLE IS:

My beard is powerful.

I shave every day,

But it remains unchanged.

What am I?

As always, tokens will be awarded to the first correct answer and the most creative incorrect one.

YESTERDAY’S WINNERS:

The first correct answer to yesterday’s riddle (what room in a home do ghosts avoid?) was snagged by Sydni Nadler (the living room), and there were some excellent contenders for most creative incorrect one! But we’re going with Bri Mirabile’s “the chapel I’ve had to make in my house since mass is online now.” Congratulations to you both!

TODAY’S RIDDLE IS:

What’s the coolest letter in the alphabet?

As always, tokens are awarded to the first “correct” answer (i.e. the one we’re looking for) and the most creative incorrect answer.

YESTERDAY’S WINNERS:

Cindy Y. once again taking it home with the first correct answer: “Greece is at the bottom,” and Jared Bulla once again wins the best incorrect answer with his anti-colonial “it sizzled over the top and got all over the dang world…they should have used a lid” (paraphrase). Congratulations to the both of you!

Welcome, dear UHPers, to our second contest of the week! This week’s contest will be a UHP mascot design contest. We do not currently have an official mascot as a program, but we’d love to see what you can come up with!

Submission guidelines:

The only thing you need to submit to be considered for the contest is a mascot concept, but you’ll get extra points for submitting an example, and enormous extra points for designing/drawing an example yourself. If you have questions, comment below or email us at uhp@gwu.edu! Submit here: forms.gle/6ALDhjLb5tKouw6w6

As for last week’s contest, the winner is HANNAH DELVECCHIO with the following townhouse token-based meme:

Congrats Hannah! You have indeed encountered the prize you are looking for.

TODAY’S RIDDLE IS:

You have me today,
Tomorrow you’ll have more;
As your time passes,
I’m not easy to store;
I don’t take up space,
But I’m only in one place;
I am what you saw,
But not what you see.
What am I?

As always, the first correct and the most creative incorrect answers will receive a Townhouse Token. Answer below or on Facebook!

YESTERDAY’S WINNERS:

Bridget Carl won with the first posting of the correct answer: footsteps! Our most creative incorrect answer? Laxatives, from Clarissa Boyd.

We’ve got our first weekly contest here at the plate. UHPers, the subject of this contest is:

Memes! About virtual learning, quarantine, and college life during a time like this. That is your assignment.

And I will say: we are looking for *original content* here. This is not a contest to find the best scraps from the meme page, no–this is a challenge to all of your creativities.

To submit, you can comment on the Facebook Post for this contest (forthcoming), email the UHP (uhp@gwu.edu), or DM it to us on Instagram (@theuhp). Meme away, dear ones. I’m excited to see what you bring to the table! And remember, if you win, you will get a Townhouse Token!
