Java jive
My friend Jon points out the Paint By Numbers puzzles on the new, extra-rudimentary Games magazine website are not presented in the most sensible fashion, since traditionally the point of such puzzles is that you don't know what they are until you fill in the grid.

Posted by: Orange at July 19, 2005 03:56 PMI haven't seen a Games magazine since junior high... wow, everything IS cyclical... I didn't even know they still existed.
Posted by: Michelle at July 19, 2005 05:21 PMWhat do you make of that contest on the site? I got nothin'.
Posted by: Tyler at July 19, 2005 05:48 PMYeah, it's a pretty impressive website, isn't it? It's got, like, three whole puzzles on it. (Well, that's not quite fair; they also have a few crosswords, although it seems like they ought to tell you what issue of the magazine the puzzles are from.) And a lot of pages that are either under construction or nonexistent.
As for the contest, yeah, I have no idea what to do with that.

Posted by: Orange at July 20, 2005 07:16 PMLate comment...I solved it today, thanks largely to an extremely astute observation from a fellow intern.
No 3D involved; I'll say that.
