As I'd asked for the puzzle's names and for their designers, and there were 50 puzzles pictured (no, I wasn't lying... the pic of Fauler Hund on the left included the frame - that wasn't a copy of Confetto or something similar lurking in the wings to trap you ... would I?!). So one point for each gives me a neat score out of 100...

Will (H), Markus and Niko came in at just under 80 apiece - an entirely creditable performance! Well done and thanks for playing! But no prizes...
Goetz' entry consisted of a copy of my collage with the names and designers typed over the top of each picture - easily the easiest to score, but a couple of blank spots meant a score of 87...

Chris went one better and hit 90 while last year's champ, Steve, scored a whopping 95 - Steve's one of the few folks who was able to list "me" under the designers column and took advantage of that!

Thanks for playing along - hope it provided a few minutes amusement and I'll be procuring something puzzling and winging it over to Nick in the next few days...
Happy 2015 - may it be suitably puzzling!

That "Fauler Hund" image seems vaguely erotic. I hadn't the foggiest idea what puzzle it was associated with!
ReplyDeleteYou're not the first to spot that.... A puzzler, who'll remain nameless, initially referred to it as the "nutsack" puzzle until he worked it out....
ReplyDeletewhat was the prize ?
ReplyDelete...a puzzle and a surprise for Nick - a surprise that would probably be spoilt if he read about it on here! :-) Hopefully Nick will let us know when he gets it...
