Will that make a certain puzzle in Issue 2 even harder :oops: :oops: :oops:

All I can say Scurra is please dont do it!

This is a private joke I'd like you all to share. I've just spent 3 days testing an outer puzzle from Issue 2 and I still haven't solved the flaming thing :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Actually it is somewhere on the site, in the, uh... FAQ under "About Puzzlebrains" -> "The Magazine"

Should "FAQ" be relabelled "FIQ" maybe? :lol:

You don't expect me to have read the FAQ do you?!

(I did vaguely remember writing that, but of course, that post disappeared from the front page so I forgot all about it...)

It's not as badly hidden as Arthur Dent's planning notice about the demolition of his house to make way for a bypass.
(And I do vaguely remember it on the front page to begin, but it got relegated to the "Frequently Ignored Questions" after you put new articles up)

I hadn't realised you were a massochist, pnward. Me too! (Although if my dream from last night comes true there's no hope of ever getting past book one)... :?

Better sign me up too as I'm back in constant contact with some of my dearest friends and I also need something to do while I'm conducting my dust experiment.

I bet your screen name is really appropriate with these puzzles, MBH!! :lol: Although I still prefer the "King of the Swingers" myself! (Maybe you should have called yourself KOTS)
