Just like a USB! There is a 50% chance that you'll get it right-side up the first time, but it always seems to take 2 or 3 tries.

Ain't that the truth?

I just checked my house and they are fine! Go figure!

Some people have all the luck, :)

It does seem like >50% of the time, I am wrong. Fun puzzle, Norma!

Thanks, Tom K. It doesn't help when your outlets are close to the floor and are in deep shadow because they are behind furniture and you can't really see what you are doing. :)

Makes sense.

Neat puzzle, just what I need after a hard day. What I hate is how short appliance cords have gotten (I was told this is to prevent children from choking and getting wires tangled up). To get all of my appliances in my kitchen plugged in, I had to plug in a surge protector and then line up my appliances and plug them into the surge protector.

Loved your puzzle.

Thank you, Donna. What would we do without surge protectors? Life savers.

Very well-done!

Thank you, Jewel.

Oh yes, Norma!

Oh yes, Kristen!

How very interesting, Aldege.

How exciting it was to find a new Norma puzzle here!!!

Thank you, Teresa, I keep hoping for inspiration, but it keeps eluding me.

Ah ha! Mystery solved. Thanks, Bill.

Al, they changed the code here in Ontario the same way. I think it is so that a partly unplugged plug has the ground pin blocking the power pins (and the power pins are shorter too so that it is harder for them to still be connected into the socket when they are far enough out to be exposed to touching.

I know that I will have to try twice to get anything plugged in even if I look at it carefully. Glad someone else has the same trouble

Misery loves company> :)
