I think one reason rec.puzzles has become less popular
is the SPAM onslaught. Why don't we find an otherwise idle ng, perhaps rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids as I have done here, begin cross-posting there, and hope the spammers don't follow? Please don't reveal why I aver this memo has unique looks. Rather do make your best original theme and post in reply. Famous Will Shakespeare did secure it: So true a fool is love, that in your will, ... Or in Poem LXII: As I all other in all worths exceed ... A Supreme Book can do it: From Ecclesiasticus book LXIII verse XXXII see: Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed. Or in Gospel by John: My sheep do hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me. Can you write a sentence (or seven) which keeps faith under my new paradigm? by James Dow Allen Richard gave a hint for #2, so I'd better give a hint for "Four old puzzles #1". I won't bother to rot13 the hint. The entire message (that is, the lines beginning " " above) is a sequence of words that satisfies a constraint. (*Each* contiguous subsequence of words in the message satisfies the same constraint.) The *meanings* of the message and the individual words are *irrelevant.* My full name "James Dow Allen" satisfies the constraint, but "Richard Heathfield" does not, nor does "James Allen". This "hint" may tell you little new, but I hope it's enough. This type of puzzle was very popular in this ng a few years ago. Despite that no one's solved it yet, I still believe that this one is of, at most, average difficulty compared with those posted a few years ago. James (Dow) Allen PS: I hope my use of middle name doesn't make me seem like a pretentious "preppy"! It's a habit I started with the World-wide-web since "James Allen" is a *very* common name. |
