I only got to know about this site because someone I sat next to on a train from Durham to London decided I didn't look that scary and wanted to talk to me. He was wafting around some interesting puzzles - like ones I'd seen in a magazine some years ago. I bought a copy, hadn't got a clue what was going on in most of them but was intrigued by the concept, and when I was looking for some holiday puzzles, I went to look for this magazine again, but couldn't find it. I decided it had stopped being published.
So said man on train tells me the sorry tale of DVP and all about this site, writes the web address on a piece of paper and we head our separate ways into the London jungle. Needless to say I lost the bit of paper
and it took a lot of Google searching to find my way here.But here I am, suffering with these impossible puzzles again.
And I wonder if said man on train wants to own up for being the one responsible for getting me on here
Would this have been the day you were travelling to our meet up?
Yes, the puzzles are challenging (and yes, before you all start shouting, I know I've made some of the really scary ones too) but really, DO ask. It's so much more fun when you're collaborating with people, and often what one person says will spark an idea in the other, and then you can both move on. Even "evil jester" does eventually give in. But usually only after you've threatened him with death and pulled a few of his toenails out.

I'm looking forward to seeing your avatar (and hope you enjoy meeting the gang)
