Notes
E-mail
your solutions of The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 317 by the closing date of 4
p.m. (EST) on Friday, June 22, 2018 to johnnolan755@gmail.com
and include your name, postal address and your choice of a Strip T’s shirt***,
should you be the drawn winner. Please include a second choice (design number
and size) just in case we are out of stock of your favorite T-shirt. The items
on Café Press are not in our stock and thus are not available as prizes.
Solutions
can also be mailed to John Nolan, 27 River Road, Farmington, NH, 03835.
All
answers, except proper names, appear in Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate
Dictionary tenth edition and/or The Chamber’s Dictionary. In this
"British-style" crossword, punctuation marks in clues are best
ignored, as a rule. The answer to 26 ac. is a less common form.
The
solution to The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 317, along with the name of the
winner, and everyone else submitting correct solutions, will be published on
this site towards the end of June.
***P.S.
The cost of mailing one T-shirt overseas has quadrupled in recent years and is
now almost $23 a pop, effectively killing the trade of small businesses like
Strip T’s. Thus, the prize now offered to winning puzzlers from outside the
U.S. will be a signed Stephanie cartoon rather than a T-shirt.
And
the winners plucked from the Hat are...
NH State Senator Jim
and Joanne Gray...congratulations, and let us know if you would like a t-shirt
(design and size) or a Stephanie cartoon.
Also solving this
month's puzzle (for which there were slightly fewer entries and an absence of
the Tunapuna-French Connection) were Chris Rogers of Farmington, Larry Reynolds
of East Rochester, who was almost stumped for an envelope theme, Anne &
Bruce Smith and wildlife buddies from Strafford, Barbara Bierweiler of Ossipee,
and Julie Lindsay and Randy Taylor of Rochester, all in NH; Laura Bradford &
Trudy Metzger of Florida & Carolyn Williams en route to Maine; Rich Pardoe
of Houston and Pat Miga of Colleyville, Texas; J. F. Gecik of Sheffield Lake,
Ohio; the strong English contingent of Eddie Looby (Longbridge), Keith Williams
(Kings Worthy), Mark Nichols (Rugby), Derek Harrison (Bedlington)
and
David Nash (Coleford); and a-shiver in the low 80s, Calfan Dary of Bali.
Thank you, everyone,
for the entries, and please enjoy TVLPP 317, above, which may be a little
easier, this month (in advance of a tougher 318.)
