When you’re like me and you chose to take French classes as your required foreign language in high school and college; and you’re like me and your mouth butchered the language hardcore, you might make puzzles like the one above. Just imagine what kind of puzzles I would have made had I chosen Mandarin. Anyway, it’s as good a time as any to (re)post the album “Pardon My French” by, um, a band with a not-so-nice-name above. Consider it a solve-along soundtrack.
A couple of you have asked me if I make children’s puzzles. And yes, I have made the odd one now and then. But I think what the couple of you were asking about/hoping for is something that my man Eric Berlin is recently launching. Puzzle Your Kids will be a two-puzzle a week venture for kids ages 9 and older, mailed directly to you or a kid you love. These are high-quality handmade puzzles by Eric, who’s written a couple two three puzzle books for kids already. This is a fantastic business and I’d really like to see this thing get launched. Just think, it’ll be choogling along, a mini-empire when Tabitha turns 9. Let’s make this thing a reality. One day into his latest Kickstarter, he’s almost 30% of the way there. I’ve backed it, and I’m hoping that a handful of you will too.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
There’s 27 in any game, right? Or 54 if you count both teams – or 51 if the home team is leading in the middle of the 9th.
Fun theme. Cassio doesn’t die in Othello though. Iago gets Roderigo to kill him, but he fails. Iago kills Roderigo and Emilia, that’s it. Cassio’s non-death is a major plot point in act 5.
