Puzzles and Answers magazine

[prog]

Puzzles and Answers magazine has become an excellent pastime of classicaljunkie and myself. I can recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzle hunts / extravanganzas, like MIT's mystery hunt or The Fool's Errand - a set of themed puzzles whose answers combine into a meta-puzzle, which itself yields the whole set's ultimate solution.

Each bimonthly issue serves as a standalone extravaganza and costs $5, purchasable online and then downloadable as a PDF. The latest issue, themed around reality TV, seems easier than the last one, or at least closer to my own skill level. After a few hours of leisurely solving today we knocked over two of them and got into "I've filled out the grid; now what" territory with two more. If you're going to try out a single issue, I would recommend this one.

If you need nudges, of course, you can always contact the issue's testsolver...

Part of the reason I posted this was bait for the testsolvers to reveal themselves. :) (I'd heard you helped with it and was about to IM you directly, at first...)

Dude, read the masthead. :-)
