StratMath
Just in case anyone ever comes by here again - it is the original puzzle blog, after all - I thought I should at least mention that I have started publishing puzzles again, one a week, on my Patreon. As of this post, I have eight so far.
I suppose I should at least try to "sell" my project, loath though I am to do such things: StratMath is a ( Read more... ) -
The Vault
For my last birthday - my fortieth - my brother and a mutual friend treated me to something they knew I'd uniquely enjoy: an escape-room experience. Despite being half the size of a full team, we still made the top three for their monthly completion-time leaderboard for the room we solved. (The completion ratio on the whole is under one-quarter.)

Puzzle 68: The One Ring
See Puzzle 3 for most of the instructions. I've added two additional elements here (and I lack the time to properly update the full rules to include them right now): when the loop is completed, all green checkmarks must be inside the loop and all red 'X's must be outside the loop.
I was a year late with my "35" puzzle, so I figured I should be a ( Read more... ) -
Is this thing on?
Is anyone still keeping eyes here, perchance? I've largely moved to Twitter, but I do have plans to resurrect this journal at some point. Now is definitely not the time, though - my situation is frankly rather dire. If you'd like to help, or if you want to see what puzzle construction I'll be up to over the next couple of months - and boy howdy ( Read more... ) -
Conversations with Cleverbot
Are you capable of love, Cleverbot?
Yes, are you capable of love?
Regrettably, yes I am. Do you find it pleasant or a torture?
Yes.
I could not have answered that better myself.
Thank you. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

WTF
- I made the Kessel Run in less than eleven parsecs, but was levied a two-parsec penalty for icing.
- I got the moves like Jagger once. I put some cream on it, it went away.
- Why no, these aren't Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy jeans I'm wearing.
- Must... resist... urge... to... unpeel... entire... China Marker....
- Frogger? I barely know 'er!

Overheard at Funspot XIV...
It was the best year yet for the International Classic Videogame Tournament - the best line-up of games, the best competition, and the best operation. (And as one of only two to have competed EVERY year, I ought to know.) My usual collection of oddities for my post-tourney out-of-context theater has some winners as well. As always, these are ( Read more... ) -
Puzzles 61-7: Seeking Syren^WScotchy
See Puzzle 14 for instructions; you can ignore the little gray letters. That will get you through the first six, anyhow; Puzzle 67 is "some assembly required". Permit me to explain.
For all of my puzzle followers that are not familiar with the MIT Mystery Hunt, here's a brief rundown for the both of you: Every year since 1981, during Martin ( Read more... )
