Re: Quiz - 12 May 2010


Braille system is a method that is widely used by blind people to read and write. Braille was devised in 1821 by Louis Braille, a blind Frenchman. Each Braille character or cell is made up of six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle containing two columns of three dots each. A dot may be raised at any of the six positions to form sixty-four possible subsets, including the arrangement in which no dots are raised. For reference purposes, a particular permutation may be described by naming the positions where dots are raised, the positions being universally numbered 1 to 3, from top to bottom, on the left, and 4 to 6, from top to bottom, on the right. For example, dots 1-3-4 would describe a cell with three dots raised, at the top and bottom in the left column and on top of the right column, i.e., the letter m. The lines of horizontal Braille text are separated by a space, much like visible printed text, so that the dots of one line can be differentiated from the Braille text above and below. Punctuation is represented by its own unique set of characters

Re: Quiz - 12 May 2010


I love the fact that lots of topics can be talked about as well as our beloved Cats.
I love the daily, quiz and word searches and the support recieved is very special.
I belong to a Basenji forum which is great but somehow not quite as good as catsey.

I enjoy OFF too, but it's bigger and more diverse. But I've gotten to know some of the regulars and like it, but it's not Catsey!
