I’ve gotten a few requests to do another numbers-based puzzle, so as requested, here one is! If you’ve gone through my previous puzzles, you probably know my MO with numeric puzzles by now, so it’ll be interesting to see if that makes this one really easy.
Major apologies, but I’m caught off guard today and don’t have time to post a puzzle today. I will be posting a new puzzle Thursday or Friday this week instead! This week’s puzzle will be for a special prize to make up for the delay.
September 22, 2018 – Early flights always catch me off guard. A 6AM flight sounds wonderful in concept. Get up a little bit early, sleep on the plane, and wake up well-rested somewhere far away with the whole day ahead of me. Then I actually get to the day of the flight and I remember how early I have to wake up to catch that 6AM flight… Get to the airport at least an hour before takeoff, and shower before that. When all is said and done, I’m probably getting up before 4.
I’m well aware that my travels outpace my writing, but I’m going to keep plugging along, writing at least one escape room review and one puzzle per week. This week was lucky, as Christina and I came up with a puzzle in New England, saving me from the adventure of putting one together at the last minute!
September 24, 2018 – I’m sitting in the airport after a three day stint in the Atlantic northeast. Five more states knocked down, taking me up to a grand total of 46! The final four are Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. This weekend was a total blast. Christina and I solved seven escape rooms and still had time to experience a little more of each of the states we visited, from the Maine coast to the deep hills of Vermont.
Today is one of those days where I’m definitely not in the right mindset to come up with a new riddle… Still, the show must go on! So I sat back and thought of versatile words I can be vague about. Here’s what I came up with:
August 26, 2018 (flashback) – I didn’t need to solve an Arizona escape room on my visit thanks to my earlier visit to Gray Matter Escape in Lake Havasu (on my Vegas trip). However, Adil and I had some time before my flight and figured why not add a little to our adventure?
Right before midnight (well, about an hour), I’m posting my promised Wednesday puzzle. So it’s only appropriate I go with a clock theme this time.
Only a few more trips to go this year, but I need to be careful because a spike in flight prices can be quite costly. Currently at 41 states, I’m far past the point of no return, so if the only way to get to one of the last states is a $1000 flight… I might have to do it. Or drive 20 hours to avoid flying. Either way, not ideal.
When passing through Honolulu Airport, I spotted a Japanese zen garden below the path to my gate. This combination of cultures inspired me to put together a puzzle based on something I saw there.
