0 Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 6. What starts thick beginning a year, and shrinks thinner, only to grow thick again towards the end? You have suggested that clothes, blankets, snow etc. are correct, but this only works in the northern hemisphere, the opposite would be true in the southern hemisphere. the centre of a diary. (Thick at the beginning of the year, as all the pages are at the rear of the diary. In the middle of the year the pages are equal, and at the end of the year all the pages are at the front) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think it's like a bush/tree. They are real thick during summer, they shed during winter, and then they grow back in summer again. >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 i think what norm means is the amount of pages on either side of the page you are writing on changes throughout the year If it is that, then what if the diary was started in the middle of the year before? Then it would not work. However, I do admit that the answer intended for this question was flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May you explain it in a clearer way? Difficult to explain, but I'll try to clarify......... If you consider the type of diary that has 1 page per day, then on January 1, the book would have 364 days in the right hand section, this would be relatively thick. As one gets towards June the pages on the left and right would be equal, so the overall height of the book would be relatively slimmer. Than as we approach December 31 all the pages would be to the left and again the height of the overall book would be relatively thick. If the book is 20mm thick closed, then on January 1 the height be almost 20mm, in June / July the height would be 10mm each side. In December, the book would be back around 20mm.
