To Puzzlers
Shortage of space may ‘mean that the Puzzle -Editor cannot fully acknowledge every letter sent to him. He hopes, however, that puzzlers will understand the position. They should be as brief as possible and as tolerant as possible if their problems and comments are not used immediately. Above all, the Editor hopes they will continue to send in material for a Puzzle Page which has already printed hundreds more problems than would have been possible had not so many hundreds of energetic readers assisted so generously in its compilation
PUZZLES (Continued from Page 20) make the trip either way, and waits three minutes before returning. How many cars will each car meet in the five-mile trip?-(Problem from R.G.). DIGITS: Ask a’ person to select secretly a number containing sevaral digits and to subtract from it the sum of its digits. Then let him tell you the figures in the result, omitting any one of them except a cipher. Whereupon you can tell him the omitted figure. How do you do it — (Problem from H.G.L.). STARS: Draw nine stars in a square three each way and through them draw four straight lines that cut each star once only, without lifting pencil from paper or folding the paper.-(Problem from Charles Chan).
