Hello, puzzlers - well, another month has gone by, so here's your chance to get revenge on the puzzlemakers - bring your own stumper!
Well, Nova is on a bus headed to the Northwest, but he left a puzzle for us before departure. I have a Juliecrostic, inspired by the events of this coming week, and I'm not just talking about science's birthday! hbty hbty hbds hbty
And especial good thoughts (prayers if you prefer) to plf515, sny and our other loved ones in Sandy's path.
Nova's puzzle:
The Mystery Puzzle that I posted last week went unsolved. Here it is again:
H
margolik
gravity
This is what I call a Catch Phrase puzzle, in which a familiar phrase (or, occasionally, single word) is represented by the elements presented.
In this case, the H is on top of gk (kilogram, backward) which is on top of g (gravity) -- thus spelling out the answer, Hong Kong.
Here are 6 more Catch Phrase puzzles:
1.
L
emoc
2.
W
T
confused penguin
3.
|\ Al's 52nd element /|
STER
4.
HE
N
E, frequently
5.
LAW
THE
6.
BALL
TH
