Once Martin Gardner in his Scientific American column published a complicated
diagram which he said contained a hidden Christmas message.  It was something
like a complete graph on 5 nodes, with each arc labelled by a letter.  They
didn't seem to go in order, nor display any clear pattern.  The solution
was that the 25 labels included every letter but L  -- hence, Noel.
