Notes
E-mail
your solutions of The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 358 by the closing date of 4
p.m. (EST) on Friday, Nov. 19, 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. 358, along with the name of the
winner, and everyone else submitting correct solutions, will be published on
this site towards the end of November.
***P.S.
The cost of mailing one T-shirt overseas has quadrupled in recent years and is
now over $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 is...Mark Roberts of Hostert, whose name was plucked from the
hat just about a year ago. Hang in there, Mark Nichols, the Law of Averages is
bound to kick in sometime.
We'll
get a cartoon off to you Mark (Roberts), very early next week, with some stiff
backing which makes it harder for mailmen to scrunch 'em. Ann Holme tipped me
off that one or two had arrived in Britain in less than perfect condition.
(Thank you, Ann.)
There
were half a dozen fewer entries this month, and this may be due, a) to the
tricky spelling of the ex-president of Ukraine's name or b) the marvelously
obscure word "smoot" which is in the American Heritage Dictionary,
among others, but not Chambers (which I should have noted.) Wiki gives a cheery
explanation of it.
Anyway,
avoiding those pitfalls were the previously mentioned Mark Nichols of Rugby,
Eddie Looby of Longbridge, Keith Williams of Kings Worthy, Bill Stewart of
Leicester, and Derek Harrison of Pegswood. all in England; Ian Simpson of
Edinburgh, Scotland...the country that still has a chance to qualify for the
Word Cup, but past experience says they may somehow manage to blow it; Calf Dary
of Anggabaya, Bali, Indonesia; and, in the U.S., Chris Roger of Farmington,
Julie Lindsay, Randy Taylor (who I know to be taller than a smoot) and Jim &
Joanne Gray of Rochester, Barbara Bierweiller of Ossipee and Anne & Bruce
Smith of Strafford, all in NH; Laura Bradford, Trudy Metzger & Carolyn
Williams of Maine, Florida or Route 95; John F. Gecik of Sheffield Lake, Ohio;
and Rich Pardoe of Houston and Pat Miga of Grapevine, both in Texas.
Thank
you all for the ever welcome entries, and now enjoy TVLPP 358 above.
NOTES
www.crossword.org.uk/
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.
On
the subject of books, The Adventure of English (The Biography of a Language) by
Melvyn Bragg published in 2003 and 2011, is a fascinating work of over 300
pages, especially since the price has now dropped to just over $5 from Hamilton
of Connecticut. It traces the influx of words into English from multiple sources
over 15 or more centuries...one flaw, "smoot" escapes a mention.
