Ah, yes, we have some clever thinkers amongst our readership. Last issue, we presented a cartoon, drawn by our wonderful cartoonist, Mark Hill. We asked you, our readers, to give us your take on what this cartoon is trying to say in our Cartoon Caption Contest. Now it’s time to reveal the winner and vote on the top 3 captions for the next cartoon. Then, take a stab our next contest!

And the winning caption is:
Charles MacIver, Microsoft Corporation

"Aah, they have SAP!! Begin assimilation via user exit MV45AFZZ!! They’ll never
know until it’s too late… ha, ha, ha…”

Congratulations to Charles, our fifth cartoon caption contest winner. Kirk will receive a signed copy of this cartoon with his caption from SAPtips cartoonist extraordinaire, Mark Hill.

This is our final cartoon caption contest. A big thank you to all who decided to play along with us and submit entries and vote for the winners! We had a blast doing this and we hope you had fun as well! Stay tuned next issue to see what kind of comic relief SAPtips cooks up for you (as if working with ERPs doesn’t require strong sense of humor already!)
 

In the meantime, our SAPtips Editor, Emil Marx, aka Redd, has cooked up a few brainteasers to keep your mind sharp (when it maybe drifting to other thoughts—like how many days until it’s the weekend.) Immediately below are examples of how to do CrossLine Puzzles. Then, we’ve tossed out three for you to try on your own. Have fun! (Solutions are available at www.SAPtips.com/Humor.asp)

Object of puzzle: Draw one continuous line that does not cross itself, but crosses each line segment in the figure once and only once. A line segment is the extent of a line between corners or the meeting points of other lines. For example, the figure to the left has 7 line segments.

This second figure shows one possible path through the figure. Different paths may be possible. You can begin and end the line outside or inside of the figure – whatever works. Some figures can be easy, some can be hard, and others are impossible.
