Notes
E-mail
your solutions of The Very Logical Prize Puzzle No. 306 by the closing date of 4
p.m. (EST) on Friday, July 21, 2017
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. 306, along
with the name of the winner, and everyone else submitting correct solutions,
will be published on this site towards the end of July.
***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 drawn winner for the June puzzle is ... the Florida snowbird and long-time
solver, Nancy Mooney Hebert of Alton Bay, NH (when it's not a frozen wasteland.)
Let us know what size and design (or general category) of T-shirt
you
would like, Nancy, or a cartoon by Stephanie, if you prefer.
Correct
entries were received, this month, from Calfan Dary of Bali, who may, as you
read this, be having a beer with jet-setting multi-millionaire and former
man-of-the-people, Barack Obama, who is currently in his neighborhood; Derek
Harrison, Mark Nichols, Eddie Looby, Keith Williams, David Nash and David
Simmonds, dotted up and down England; Gron Roberts representing Wales; Keith
& Hugette Simmonds and Annie & Veronique Bonnet from the Macron
stronghold of Rodez, France; Rich Pardoe and Pat Miga from Texas; Laura Bradford
from Venice (Florida, that is) along with her trusty solving comadres Trudy
Metzger & Caroline Williams; and the ever-reliable New Hampshire contingent
of Randy Taylor, Senator Jim and Joanne Gray, Chris Rogers, Julie Lindsay, Jane
Carville, Anne & Bruce Smith, Larry Reynolds & Barbara Bierweiler.
One
again, thank
you all very much for the entries. I hope you enjoy chewing on TVLPP 306 above.
