I think Sir William S. Gilbert put it best:
"Oh, joy unbounded, with wealth surrounded, the knell is sounded of grief and woe."
Thank God there is Henry Hook; I love puzzles like this.
...
Bob's great too! ;)

(Sorry for the double post -- an error occurred between the two, and I didn't know the first one would eventually post. JM or Nichole, Feel free to delete one, if possible.)
Anyway, I hope we see some familiar names as winners for the postcard contest. I just checked out the answers that Laurie provided in the July 2004 thread, and (aside from the final "a" left off "Trakoscana") she appears to have a perfect 20/20! Good Luck!
Posted by: Sean | Sep 10, 2004 12:18:39 AM
Every reference that I saw called the castle "Trakoscan", without an "a" at the end.
Posted by: Laurie | Sep 10, 2004 6:55:28 AM
Laurie, I didn't even participate in that contest, but I would imagine you were given the benefit of the doubt to preserve your perfect score. Good job!
Posted by: Sean | Sep 10, 2004 7:10:13 AM
I was just wondering if anyone else had "Trakoscana" for #2.
Posted by: Laurie | Sep 10, 2004 3:15:14 PM
A quick Google check appears to confirm both correct, just depending on which language you think and spell in. Though I can't speak for them, I'm pretty confident either spelling would be accepted by GAMES.

November 2004 Games WOP is out too...I just purchased mine this evening...

Thank you Mr. Hook, for your "Name That Text" cryptogram contest. I enjoyed working on it but I didn't think this was a 3-star puzzle. I had expected it to be much tougher than it was. (Does anyone agree with me on that?) I received my issue yesterday, and I was able to solve it in several hours.
Posted by: Toni | Sep 10, 2004 9:16:40 PM
I, too, wish Laurie "Good Luck!" on the postcard contest...I hope you win, Laurie. Some of those locations were tough to find. Nicely done.
Posted by: Toni | Sep 10, 2004 9:23:47 PM
I second that notion, Toni, with respect to the "Name That Text" contest -- definitely not 3-star caliber. I'm usually slow with these types of puzzles, but I, too, just received my issue last night and solved it in a few hours (collectively, no more than 3 hours after working bits and pieces throughout the day).
Posted by: Sean | Sep 10, 2004 10:00:19 PM
I have to agree that puzzle was less difficult than I had anticipated at first. I got an entry mailed today. Perhaps he intentionally chose easy clues in order to garner more entries. All it would take to increase the difficulty is to make the clues more cryptic, or cross-referenced, etc. I am very impressed, though, with the construction. To make all that come together, through the sieve of a crypto transformation, is an awesome task. Solving it may have been relatively easy, but constructing it was likely much more challenging. For that, a tip of the hat. It WAS still fun!

What's the GWOP contest this month?
Posted by: Mark | Sep 11, 2004 2:13:39 PM
In reply to Mark: Fellowship of the Rings Contest...
which is super hard...and they have the contest results from April 2004...
Posted by: The_Steppum | Sep 12, 2004 4:21:21 PM
Just noticed this in the contest results for the Hexed! contest: first runner-up is John Knoderer of Gravette, AR (911); then Amanda Dollarhide of Gravette, AR (909); then Arleen Knoderer of Sulphur Springs, AR (908).....
Either there's unusually concentrated lexical brilliance in a group of Arkansans, or Johnny boy got a couple family and friends to submit slightly un-identical entries to game the system. 3 t-shirts out of 10.
The really sad thing is that I don't know what reasonable rule Games could make to prevent fraud like this.
Posted by: Jim Miller | Sep 16, 2004 9:02:22 AM
Sorry, that should have gone under the October Games discussion.
Posted by: Jim Miller | Sep 16, 2004 9:03:13 AM
i smell a fraud...
after all... it is spelled SULFUR...maybe u can write a letter to the GAMES editor about this and have their T-shirts revoked...
Posted by: The_Steppum | Sep 16, 2004 4:49:17 PM
The dictionary has the word both ways. The map doesn't.
Posted by: MLR | Sep 16, 2004 4:56:47 PM
so...who's with me into writing a petition of fraud...
or maybe this is the 'hidden contest'? lol
Posted by: The_Steppum | Sep 16, 2004 5:11:37 PM
Is it still hidden?
Posted by: MLR | Sep 16, 2004 5:13:11 PM
I don't consider myself to be a good Double Cross or Cryptogram solver, but I was able to solve the "Name That Text" contest (alone) in a few hours. I agree that it was a well-constructed puzzle.
Arkansas must be a great state for word puzzle fans.
Is it against GAMES rules to collaborate with others in contests?
Posted by: Laurie | Sep 16, 2004 7:59:34 PM
Of course it isn't against the rules: if it was, we'd all be disqualified for using this site! (If Bob Lodge turned us in . . .)
Most of the contests indicate that you can enter more than once as long as you mail the entries separately. In this case, it wouldn't have made much sense for John to submit these three entries with different scores, as he would have no way of knowing whether other solvers would have the same score as one or more of his entries. Once he had achieved his best score, then it might make sense to put extra entries in under other names, as it would increase his chances in a "random draw" situation.
Myself, I usually settle for entering just the once (or, in some cases, forgetting to enter at all). I still haven't received the November issues from my subscriptions to GAMES and GWoP magazines; it's probably just as well, as it gives me a bit more time to either look for the Hidden Contest from October or [bang my head against a wall over] Bob's contest from September. Decisions, decisions!

I, along with my father, have solved both the contests for this month. The World of Puzzles contest was solved with a total of three words. The Henry Hook contest was a nice puzzle but not a three star. I guessed the question with about half the answers and the consonant verb pattern part gave away a few answers. I was pissed that my mother who had read the text didn't remember it, I had to google it.
Posted by: Jared | Sep 18, 2004 1:19:34 PM
November 2004 Contest---NOW SOLVED!!!
yay...and the funny thing is I didn't need the other answers i needed...I figured out the cryptogram with the help of a cryptogram solver I made for my computer...and the rest was easy...
For all you complaining about the three star rating...3 stars means proceed at your own risk...not that it's VERY HARD...just some people like to take longer than others...thats what it means...
now if someone can please give me clues to the whereabouts of the October 2004 Games Magazine Hidden Contest...I would GREATLY appreciate it...

Posted by: The_Steppum | Sep 18, 2004 5:09:36 PM
Hey, I remember seeing something on tv a long while ago with a bunch of animated dancing squares singing "It's Hip to Be Square." What was it? Maybe I evoked the memory from working on that impossible Median 81 "unsolvable Freecell deals" question. I dunno.
PS. I wanted to include a HC hint for you in the body of my message, but I leaned to the left and thought I better look for it in the titles and stuff for myself, first.

I believe this was Sesame Street.
Posted by: Andrew | Sep 18, 2004 9:29:15 PM
We put in two of the circle clues and were lucky to have found the unclued diamond we solved the other remaining circle that surronded it and double checked against the diamond clues to make sure.
Posted by: jared | Sep 18, 2004 9:45:30 PM
Still nowhere on the HC. I can do puzzles easily when I know where and what they are, finding them is the hard part. Any clues.

Sorry. My question got trapped underneath all of my remarks, everyone. Just do everything and all that you would like.
Oh, and my hint is renewed!
(And I wonder why I remembered that Sesame Street thing?)

I sent in my solution. Just saying-- It was not 'send us a card' or 'send us a riddle.'
Oh, and I will (try to) explain my hints once the answer comes out.
Posted by: Billy Gordon | Sep 19, 2004 7:09:53 AM

Posted by: Billy | Sep 19, 2004 4:09:51 PM
The hints given lately have even confused me more. I balieve the key words are Seasame Street, square, new york and possibly others. could someone tell me if i'm on a street in a totally different town or if im just a block away and need to think about how those things relate to one another and the puzzle.

October 2004-Hidden Contest: SOLVED!!!
(mailing in submission this morning)
It is a bit tricky to find...and without some assistance, i wouldn't know what page it was on...and then i figured it out on my own and figured it out....so far I couldn't find anything in the magazine itself that would make you go to the page it's on...oh well...
this is now my 3rd Games/WOP contest I solved in the past month... Hopefully I'll get a shirt or some $$$....
until the next Games or WOP hits the streets...
Peace!

Hey everyone!
I recently found this site and find it great fun.
I have a question that I'm hoping someone here can answer for me. On all GAMES contests, they say, "You may enter as many times as you like, but each entry must be mailed separately." Does this mean you can send in as many different answers (just to cover your bases), or you can send in a whole bunch of submissions with the same answer (to increase your odds of being picked out of all correct entries)? I've wondered this for a while, and I'm hoping someone can help.
Thanks guys! :)
Posted by: Mike | Sep 20, 2004 5:23:44 PM
I still am confused and have now closely examined every page in the magazine and have found nothing but a handprint on the mystery and a wierd text on the halloween hustle game. Someone please tell me what is so special about squares and new york.
Posted by: Jared | Sep 20, 2004 5:55:40 PM
Quite intresting, upon a quick second glance after my previous post I realized that the title of Solitare Hangman was different than another time. Is this something I should look into. It does have squares.`
Posted by: Jared | Sep 20, 2004 6:01:11 PM
Nevermind the rush of finding something hit me too hard, I read the instructions.
Posted by: Jared | Sep 20, 2004 6:03:02 PM
Does this mean you can send in as many different answers (just to cover your bases), or you can send in a whole bunch of submissions with the same answer (to increase your odds of being picked out of all correct entries)?
Yes to both, as long as they are in separate envelopes.
Posted by: Andrew | Sep 20, 2004 6:16:57 PM
Just to reiterate what we said in the October forum: please DO NOT discuss hidden contests on this site apart from status reports.
Posted by: JmSR | Sep 20, 2004 6:44:22 PM
Also, one more stupid question I think I know the answer to (but better to be safe than sorry):
When it says to put my answer and name and address on the back of an envelop, I just have to put it on the back and not put anything in the envelope, right?
Posted by: Mike | Sep 20, 2004 7:01:31 PM
That has always been my understanding, Mike. I have been entering the contests for longer than I care to think about, and I have always done it that way. Then again, I haven't ever won anything from them . . .
I did get a letter published a few months ago, though, and I still disagree with their ruling on what constituted a correct answer to the contest I was writing about. They shouldn't have accepted "The Star Spangled Banner" as the answer when they asked for the title of a poem written in the specific year, as it didn't get that title until much later.
Then again, I'm Canadian, so probably ineligible to offer an opinion on that subject.
Posted by: Bill from Canada | Sep 20, 2004 8:24:58 PM
Mike -- If the contest has a lengthy answer sheet or a complex answer, they may ask for some final indicator on the outside of the envelope, to quickly sort which ones to bother opening to see if they are completely correct. If nothing needs to go inside the envelope, you might as well send it on a postcard for 23¢ instead of spending 37¢ to mail an envelope.
I've tried to "blitz" a contest a few times, sending anywhere from 20 to one time 80 entries (that got me a T-shirt!) which in the day of 19¢ postcards still cost only about $15. I set up the solution on the computer (you can adjust font size to make anything fit, even a long list of answers) and duplicated it 4 times in a 2 x 2 fit to an 8½ x 11 page. Same for the GAMES address on the other side. Print out templates, readjust and redo if necessary until all the spacing is right, then I have masters to use with card stock (any art supply store--various nice pastel colors are available!) in a normal photocopy machine. Cut into quarters (4¼ x 5½ is a legal postcard size), affix stamps, and mail! You want to be sure your name and address isn't placed so it will be confused for the destination, or some may come back to you! (Especially if you goof and put the stamp on the wrong side!) It's a fun project. I can't imagine doing a large number of complicated entries by hand. A perfect example of this technique is the person who won the "Most average" contest a few months back. It required a list of 10 items, and one at a time they kept only the entries with the most common choice. If you could get past the first 2 or 3 with a large number of identical entries, you're home free (unless another "blitzer" sent in more entries!)
They made it tough to blitz the "Where in the world.." postcard contest, because the entries had to be on an original "greetings from..." picture PC. That was very clever of them, I thought.

Hi everyone!
I have a question about the condition of GAMES Magazine over the past year...
I buy mine at the store and have noticed something about three different issues over the past year...
In the upper-lefthand corner of the cover of the Magazine, about an eighth of an inch in from the spine, there is a razor cut about two pages deep that runs from the edge of the Magazine parallel to the spine for about a half-inch...
At first I thought this was just caused by whoever opened the container the magazines came in...
But EVERY GAMES Magazine was like that, all 12+ of them at the store I went to...
So I decided to go to a couple of different stores in different areas around where I live and it was ALL the same...
EVERY single GAMES issue in EVERY store had the cut in the upper-lefthand corner of the magazine...
This has happened to three different issues of the GAMES Magazine so far over the past year...
I don't mind that much but I have to be careful when I turn the first couple of pages so as not to rip them...
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this...
Is it just because I buy it at the store?...
Is it just a regional defect?...
No other magazine, including GAMES World of Puzzles, have I ever encountered this...
Its got me curious...
I'd like to know if it has happened to anyone else...
Posted by: Jim from Minnesota | Sep 24, 2004 8:59:54 AM
Jim,
Maybe it is a hidden contest!
I looked at the four issues I have hanging around (why I have GAMES Magazines hanging around at work is anybody's guess). None of them have a slice out of them. None of them have any marks on the cover. But two of them had a line at the place you had indicated on the Table of Contents page. This is a printer's error (as opposed to shipping, unpackaging, etc.). Either something peculiar on the press, or when they are being cropped.
Posted by: Michael | Sep 24, 2004 10:22:02 AM
Well, I am not sure whether they accepted all of my answers, but I found out that I won a t-shirt in the
"Wish You Were Where 5" contest. This was not my goal prize. I already won a T-shirt this year. Do they come in anything but black?
I will have to keep working on future contests.
Posted by: Laurie | Sep 27, 2004 4:08:13 PM
They seem to be only black these days. I even specifically requested some other color if available, but still got black. I have other colors from Games World of Puzzles and Games Premium Puzzles, including green and purple! Most are from the '80s or '90s. I must have 5 or 6, but that's from over 25 years. I'll have to dig them all out some day and see what I have.
Posted by: Bob Lodge | Sep 27, 2004 5:25:39 PM
I won my first T-shirt in the Wish You Were Where contest. Got the letter today.
Posted by: Andrew | Sep 27, 2004 5:41:53 PM
I won my first one in their first clerihew contest back in about 1982 or so (give or take 3-4 years!) A clerihew is a 4-line AABB free meter poem whose first line names a subject and other three make a play on words, double entendre, or other clever reference to him or her. Mine was:

Was like pulling a habit out of a rat.
Posted by: Bob Lodge | Sep 27, 2004 7:10:27 PM
A recent GWoP T-shirt that I won was navy blue. The only GAMES T-shirt that I own is black.
Posted by: Jay Winter | Sep 27, 2004 8:53:05 PM
I also won a T-shirt for the Wish You Were Where...5? and so did my sister. This is my fourth T-shirt. I agree that it would be nice if they had an assortment of colors you could choose from. My preference would be white with the red logo.
Posted by: Wendy | Sep 28, 2004 6:39:57 AM
Maybe if everyone who wins a T-shirt requests a color other than black, the GAMES people will include some color options on their form.
Posted by: Laurie | Sep 28, 2004 6:52:52 AM
Since I am still relatively new to this site, I find the fact that (at least) four out of the 10 t-shirt winners in the Wish You Were Where 5 contest are people who use this site (or a sibling, as in Wendy's case).
Does that kind of thing happen often?
By the way, Bob, I have a hazy recollection of that Clerihew contest, and your winning entry. I have been reading GAMES ever since a math teacher recommended it to me in high school, which would predate the contest by only a few years.
Posted by: Bill from Canada | Sep 28, 2004 9:53:58 AM
Bob,
I actually remember that Clerihew - I was only a kid, but I think I may have the issue at home.
I once entered a Higgledy-Piggledy when I was a teenager, but it was not accepted (but I still remember it):
Higglevich, Pigglevich
Nadia Comaneci
Tumbled and flipped into
Hearts of all men.
She tumbled unspastically
Rubbery, Plasticly
At least, then, gymnastically,
She was a 10.
Posted by: michael | Sep 28, 2004 11:54:03 AM
That's a great H-P, Michael. Love it. I was introduced to Clerihews by a dear friend, now departed, who composed a small privately printed book of them, which I still cherish. This is one of my favorites of his:
Christian Doppler
Dynamited a poplar
Which
Predictably, went up in pitch.

I recently won my first ever GAMES T-Shirt in Bob Lodge's Calculatorture Trivia Contest. Even though I would have liked the $1500, I was still thrilled to get the T-Shirt.
I've entered many GAMES contests over the years, but never won before. Usually the only ones I've been able to solve are the ones where 1000s of correct entries are received.
I'm hoping to at least place in the top 10 with the AFO-AGH one. Still number crunching word combos....
Posted by: Jeannette | Sep 29, 2004 7:12:30 AM
I think Trakoscan must have been accepted as well as Trakoscana. I, too, managed to find all 20 locations and received notification that I won just yesterday.
Posted by: John | Sep 30, 2004 3:43:53 PM
How many postcards did you send in?
Posted by: laurie | Sep 30, 2004 9:09:55 PM
Mike....about the envelope entries: using an empty envelope, with your answer, name and address on the back, is considered the same as sending in a postcard, except for one thing, the postage. With the envelope you have to post a .37 cent stamp instead of the.23 cent stamp for a postcard.
Steppum....I think I have found the Hidden Contest. All I will say, to be fair to all, is I that I found something to be different than usual. Can you tell me if I've hit a homerun....or, struck out?
Posted by: Toni | Oct 1, 2004 10:19:24 AM
Jared: If you were able to come up with a solution to the "Fellowship of the Rings" contest by only entering three words, I admire your confidence! Since every answer can be entered clockwise or counter-clockwise, entering answers into two connected circles can yield two different answers, and may throw off your entry in the third connected circle. Even then, you have to be pretty certain of the answers. I hope you completed the rest of the puzzle (or, at least, the other surrounding entries), to make sure you really had it.
That being said, I was finally able to find a newsstand copy of the November GWoP today, and I now realize that it is next to impossible to mistake the unclued diamond; once you read the word, you know it has to be the answer!(I look forward to my GWoP subscription finally kicking in, so I don't have to hunt for it next time.)
Oh, and Bob? I finally finished the Cross Number Conundrum the other day; unfortunately, Canada Post tells me that even if I want to have it go by Purolator, the best they can do is to get it there by next Wednesday (two days late). Oh well, there will be other contests . . .
Posted by: Bill Swift | Oct 1, 2004 6:11:42 PM
Steppum,
I see my hints have helped you much.
Toni,
I may just be out of touch, but I think if I put away my troubles, as the song suggests, I can just get an even keel on it and say that you're fairly off base.
On an unrelated note, what are the next lines to these songs which have something to do with exploring or games?
"I travel the world and the seven seas"
"If you are confused, check with the sun"
"He's going the distance"
"If looks could kill they probably will"
"And when the car broke down they started walking"
"It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right"
Naut. giving any hints,
Posted by: Billy Gordon | Oct 1, 2004 6:28:06 PM
The first to email me with the correct solution plus the pill connected with all 5 lines will get a clute to one of my clues, if you need it.
Oh, by the way, I hope the numerous hints in my many posts are helping!
Opposed to giving song hints, but who am I to disagree?
Posted by: Billy Gordon | Oct 1, 2004 6:35:30 PM
Billy....You may be giving me hints in your "fairly off base" sentence, but they're not sinking in.
To refresh your memory, I had said the HC is something that has been done differently in this issue than in previous issues.
So, am I correct in assuming that by saying I'm 'fairly off base' you're telling me I'm wrong on my HC solution?
Posted by: Toni | Oct 1, 2004 8:08:36 PM
Sí, Toni.
Soy bajo impresión que la competencia ocultada se ha ocultado en un rompecabezas antes.

Posted by: Billy Gordon | Oct 2, 2004 2:13:59 PM
Billy, I imagine there's no need to brush up on my Spanish in order to read your latest note to Toni. Just the mention of "pescados" makes me think of red herrings anyway!
By the way, I don't know if anyone has taken you up on your challenge, but despite finding the next line of lyrics for each of the 6 lines given (you had said 5 lines), I haven't made the connection to "the pill".
Is the pill really only related to 5 of the 6 lines (with the extra line being a red herring)? I'm not certain what clues I would get from you as a reward since I had found the Hidden Contest quite some time ago (although I haven't spent much time on Crossnumber Conundrum or the letter combinations one).
Please let us know if you have you "clue" winner.
Posted by: Sean | Oct 2, 2004 5:36:19 PM
Sorry.
'5 lines' was a typo.
I wanted the clue I gave not to be easily seen by casual readers, so I put my message throught Babelfish.
My line at the end was 'Loving the babble fish.'
Also, I found the 6 lines + answers together with a pill name.
Just call me 'El Goog,'

I un-translated my spanish message and it said the same thing except for my tagline, which read:

NOTE: It has come to my attention that I may have implied that my hints were for anything other than the Hidden Contest. I am sorry. These hints were for the Hidden Contest. Sorry. Questions, understandably, are rarely even sent to me because my false website hints are blocking my email. That's fixed now.

If the deadline for the Nov. hidden contest has passed, would anyone like to share their knowledge?
If the deadline has not passed, please ignore.
