Puzzle-o-rama
April 11th 2006 -
I’ve redescovered that I’m lousy at puzzle-solving. While I was away in Brisbane, our gaming group participated in the Melbourne Uni puzzle hunt, and they had terrific fun doing so. So, we decided to hold our own informal set of puzzles. I have had a go at a bunch of them, and have been there when other people have solved them, but I really haven’t felt at all close to solving them myself. It’s particularly frustrating because most of the puzzles are really good: they have the “Oh, of course!” factor that makes you feel like even more of an idiot for not solving it quickly. I refer, in particular, to Ian B.’s puzzle (this is not the Ian B. whose tooth I knocked out, I should note), and Ben C.’s puzzle.
