Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

Patrick Blindauer is this week's constructor; his "Use as Directed" is 4/5 in difficulty.

Pretty soon we'll have the 2015 bundle available for purchase. If you're a new subscriber, you'll be able to enjoy all of last year's offerings for just $10. All of the older bundles (2006-2014) will be $8 at that point. The archived bundles are available here.

In the midst of editing a couple of stunners, btw. Stay tuned!
