Update 22 December…

December 22, 2012 By Phixwd Leave a Comment

…which presumably was on the next Mayan slab, the one the archaeologist never quite reached.

As promised, I have unleashed a Christmas special in the form of a previously unpublished puzzle. (It’s not, after all, as if there are many puzzles around at this time of year, is it?)  It’s called VAT Evasion (it’s down under ‘Other puzzles’, if anyone doesn’t want the direct route), and it dates from about 30 years ago.  As it’s survived that long, and a trip halfway round the world, it obviously wants to be seen, and ought to be given some sort of exposure before it tunnels its way from my filing cabinet to freedom.

Now, having added to your solving burden (well, I hope you’ll give it a try), I must be off and attend to mine.

Merry Christmas (no, just the one greeting – there’s another update due before the new year).
