Puzzles
Every week during term time, we release one or more puzzles via the mailing list and prizes are awarded for the best solutions. Typically there is a hard puzzle accompanied by an easier mini puzzle. The person who submits the best solution to the main puzzle receives a prize, and small prizes are also awarded to anyone who solves the mini puzzle.
Archive
We have an extensive archive stretching back to 1938. Contact us with missing information.
