Message-ID: <5334@utzoo.UUCP> Date: Sun, 24-Mar-85 23:52:37 EST Article-I.D.: utzoo.5334 Posted: Sun Mar 24 23:52:37 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 24-Mar-85 23:52:37 EST Organization: U of Toronto Zoology Lines: 14 My brother, with his usual good taste, got me a wonderful present. In a red sack is a golden puzzle, 2-sided, which has a cipher on it. If you crack the cipher you win $20,000 or something like that. Well, I have assembled the puzzle and I am missing 2 pieces -- and worse, I have lost the instructions. Since I think it is a book cipher, this is disasterous... So, did anybody else get one of these as a present? Has anybody solved it yet? *Don't* tell me what the answer is, I want to do this, but I would really like to get a photocopy of the instruction booklet and the contents of the 2 pieces I have missed. And yes, the stores are all out of it... Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
