We'll do you a special deal of £25...

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Will that make a certain puzzle in Issue 2 even harder
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

Actually it is
somewhere on the site, in the, uh... FAQ under "About Puzzlebrains" -> "The Magazine"
Should "FAQ" be relabelled "FIQ" maybe?

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)...

I have to subscribe so I can get the answers to the previous issues.
I have squeezed 8 letter words into the 3 letter crossword, joined the dots on the monastic year and have cut out the arnolfini wedding as it makes a very pretty coaster!!!

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 don't sleep much at night so I may as well do something besides go to the bathroom.

I bet your screen name is really appropriate with these puzzles, MBH!!

Although I still prefer the "King of the Swingers" myself! (Maybe you should have called yourself KOTS)
