On his NPR Sunday Puzzle segment/podcast. Shortz said he was also an "ask an expert" lifeline on Viera-era WWTBAM the first three days of this week. The TiVo will record from WGN-local this afternoon.

The final tournament puzzle (the one seeded with Q's) doesn't exist outside of the show. Merl made the grid per the specifications of the script, but as far as I know, he didn't write clues for it. I'll confirm this with him sometime. > > The other puzzles glimpsed in the show were from the archives of the New York Times. One of them was by Kevan Choset (PLAYITAGAINSAM, 4/25/06) and one by Tyler Hinman (solved by Ilsa, 3/3/06). I think there was also a Bob Peoples puzzle from 3/4/06, but I can't confirm it, having deleted the show already. If anyone has screen caps of the puzzles used, I can supply additional information. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
