As you may or may not know, my birthday is next Tuesday (August 24th). Send gifts now so they arrive on time ;) Jeremy is very sweetly giving me 6 days of birthday fun, starting today. But there's a twist...
Each morning I will receive a clue. The clue will contain a puzzle of some kind that, once solved, will reveal the location of the present for the day. The locations are somewhere around our house. As I am something of a puzzle fan, this ought to be good.
I will post the clues with solutions here each day after they have been solved and the present has been found. I'm going to try to post the solution with text matching the background so that those of you who want to try to solve the clues yourself can.
Day 1 Clue:
Day 1 Solution (highlight the next line to see it):
<solution>Sock Drawer</solution>
Day 1 Present:
Today's present was a book. Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. And I hope I punctuated that right. It is a silly book mocking the sad state of punctuation these days. The title is from the joke about the panda (which is kindly printed on the back of the book for anyone who hasn't heard it). Should be an amusing read.
