Notes
E-mail
your solutions of The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 319 by the closing date of 4
p.m. (EST) on Friday, Aug. 24, 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
solution to The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 319, along with the name of the
winner, and everyone else submitting correct solutions, will be published on
this site towards the end of August.
***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 winner of TVLPP 318 is ... David Simmonds of Crayford,
England....congratulations, and we'll send off a Stephanie cartoon to you
tomorrow, David, if the creeks don't rise.
Also,
in a slightly less crowded Hat of Correct Solvers, this month, were Calfan Dary
of Bali, who is about to shiver in a couple of days dropping to 68 F, if my
iPhone weather prediction is correct; Mark Nichols of Rugby, England (congrats
on being the latest drawn winner on Derek Harrison's site, Mark), Keith Williams
(Kings Worthy), Eddie Looby (Longbridge), Derek Harrison (Bedlington), all in
England; Gertude Metzger and Carol Williams in Maine and their solving buddy
Laura Bradford in the roasting humidity of Florida (time to move, Calfan); Rich
Pardoe (Houston) and Pat Miga (Colleyville) of Texas; J. F. Gecik of
Sheffield Lake, Ohio; Keith & Huguette Simmonds and Anne & Norbert
Bonnet, all of Rodez, France; and, closer to home in the USA, Randy Taylor and
Jim & Joanne Gray of Rochester; Anne & Bruce Smith of Strafford, Chris
Rogers of Farmington (sorry for the omission, Chris) and
Barbara Bierweiler of Ossipee. Julie Lindsay of Rochester came ever so close,
but put "gad" rather that "gid" for the sheep's disease
masquerading as a good Scottish word. Another entry was also within a whisker of
correctness, but had "gud" and no name on the sheet (Jane Carville,
maybe?)
Larry
Reynolds of Rochester was stumped by the posse of giants, but came up with a
Giant Inn postcard from Hyannis, Mass, adorned by two nicely themed stamps - the
moon landing (giant step for mankind) and Big brother/Big sister.
Anyway,
thank you all for the entries, and please enjoy TVLPP 319, above, which may
prove to be less of a journey into obscurity.
