Puzzle Notes

Dear friends,

Kevin Shustack's "Opening Wrappers" is 3.5/5 difficulty, and the kind of material you'll mostly only find in the AVCX and its network. We hope you love it.

Big appreciation to the many new solvers who've joined us by way of our recent meta mystery puzzle(s) with Raddle, which started last Monday and ran through yesterday. You can still solve them if you're interested, and big rec for Raddle, a free daily word game that we dig a lot. For those joining us with a free trial, we warmly invite you to stick around and keep solving!


Kevin Shustack, this week's constructor, grew up in Montreal and now lives in Los Angeles, where he founded The Lyceum, a boutique mathematics academy. He holds a mathematics degree from McGill University and has spent time writing for television and doing stand-up comedy. He thinks of math problems, jokes, and crosswords as three expressions of the same underlying itch ' finding the one path through a constrained space that makes everything snap into place. He's thrilled to be making his AVCX debut.

Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
