Happy Monday & Happy Presidents Day everyone! This weeks Motivational Monday and brain teasers are coming to you from the fantastic HR team at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA. Make it a great week!
Answers to the previous brain teasers:

- Nine. Two parents, six sons and one daughter. All of them have one sister (not six sisters).
This week’s brain teasers:
- I am a solitary word, 5 letters long. Strike my first letter, and I am still the same. Strike my next letter, and I am yet still the same. What word am I?
- If you started spelling out numbers (one, two, three and so on), how far would you have to go until you found the letter A?
- A girl who was just learning to drive went down a one-way street in the wrong direction, but didn’t break the law. How is that possible?
Bonus
