Sep. 2nd, 2009 01:39 pmI hereby declare that the name of the puzzle-solving group that gathers together at my house sometimes, and is mostly-but-not-entirely made of members from the "Immoral, Illegal & Fattening" MIT mystery hunt team, to be Shabbas Llamas. This comes from an excellently incorrect clue answer we generated on Sunday, thanks to
hahathor.
For lack of a better name, I two months ago described ourselves as "Immoral Illegal & Fattening (and friends)" for listing purposes in the issue's leaderboard, since we placed among the previous issue's first ten solvers. I regretted this as soon as I saw it in print; it struck me as an unauthorized use of a name that I don't own, and felt yuckier given that IIF's team captain is listed in the magazine's masthead.
I like this solution much better, and hope nobody thinks ill of me for the unintentional slight!
