MIXING FRESH ADOBE
Good adobe bricks are made from sandy clay or clay loam. If the mixture is too rich in clay, it will stick to your hoe; too rich in sand, your hoe will come up clean. The mixture is just right if it barely slips from your hoe, leaving traces of mud on the blade as you work it.

DIVISIBILITY TEST FOR 3
A whole number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. For example: 1, 326 -> 1 + 3 + 2 + 6 = 12. 12 divided by 3 = 4. Thus 1,326 is divisible by 3.
