Happily for our peace of mind, many of them were far from perfect, and the more subtle methods of our Art have not been called into requisition. In short, the prize solutions were perfect; the rest were not. There were some points about the puzzle which deserved rather more attention than the casual solver was inclined to bestow, and it seems to be necessary to refer to them in detail. First let us deal with the supposed mistakes. One solver, with admirable conciseness, thus calls attention to them— “Three mistakes, line 1 an h too many; line 2 an h too few; line 6 an s too many.” Now, taking lines 1 and 2 together we find h × 2 ÷ erself + pleasant tot. That worked out (on somewhat doubtful mathematical lines) yields “_h_|erself pleasant to t|_h_”; then we find ose _about_ h, and all is as straightforward as possible. So much for “mistakes” one and two. And the third “mistake” is no worse, for the correct reading of the part referred to is not “e_s_ minus ss” but “_seven_ e_s_ minus ss,” which introduces the word “even” into the solution. The number of expert solvers who failed at this point was quite astonishing.
