Notes
E-mail
your solutions of The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 364 by the closing date of 4
p.m. (EST) on Friday, May 20, 2022, 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.
Most
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
solution to The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 364, along with the name of the
winner, and everyone else submitting correct solutions, will be published on
this site towards the end of May.
***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. (and within if preferred) will be a signed Stephanie cartoon rather than a
T-shirt.
And
the drawn winner, courtesy of Stephanie this month, is Rich Pardoe of Houston,
Texas. We'll get a cartoon in the mail to you, Rich, asap.
Also
solving the puzzle-that-went-to pot, were Stephen Wortley of Tooting, London
(welcome aboard, Stephen), Eddie Looby of Longbridge, Keith Williams of Kings
Worthy, David Nash of Coleford, Derek Harrison of Pegswood, Mark Nichols of
Rugby, Bill Stewart of Leicester, and Ian Laming of Chippenham, all in England;
Ian Simpson of Edinburgh, Scotland; and completing the European entries, Mark
Roberts of Hostert, Luxembourg; representing the tropics, was Calfan Dary of
Bali, and U.S. solvers included Trudy Metzger, Carol Williams & Laura
Bradford all in Florida, where gardening is three months ahead of NH, judging by
harvested bok choy, J.F. Gecik of Sheffield Lake, Ohio, and, from NH, Barbara
Bierweiler of Ossipee, Chris Rogers of Farmington, Anne & Bruce Smith of
Strafford, artist Larry Reynolds of East Rochester, who resisted the temptation
to have a pot leaf on his relevantly decorated envelope, and Rochester-ites
Randy Taylor, Julie Lindsay, and Jim & Joanne Gray.
Thank
you all, for your entries.
Now
I hope you all have fun with TVLPP No. 364 above.
From
February:: Matt Mitchell - let us know if
you prefer a signed cartoon or a T-shirt, Matt, and we will mail something off
asap....or we can send something, potluck. Let us know.

A gateway to British puzzledom and Derek Harrison's own extensive contributions
including an ever-interesting monthly newsletter.
Occasionally
a Scots word will creep into the Logical Puzzle and as an aid to those solvers not too
familiar with Lallans, the Dictionary of the Scots Language (https://dsl.ac.uk/)
is recommended as a reference work.
