Puzzle Notes

Friends:

Brendan Emmett Quigley brings us a 3/5 challenge this week, "Pick Up Game." (Have we finally gotten the difficulty rating right?).

Got friends who like puzzles and might enjoy something more modern and edgy? If they subscribe to AVCX, you get 3 extra months of puzzles free! Just tell your friend to add your name in the referral box when they sign up at avxwords.com. The more friends you refer, the more free months you'll get.

Here's how to do it:

1. Log on to your favorite social networking site.

2. Post something in the vein of, "Like modern, edgy xwords? Sign up @ avxwords.com, and put [Your Name Here] as a referral, so I can get 3 free months, and you can get a year of the best indie puzzles out there."

3. Watch your subscription grow longer!

Finally, did you know that Brendan is a member of the Boston Typewriter's Orchestra? Here's their latest video. Says BEQ: "It's just like Rush's video for "Tom Sawyer," only we're playing 'Underwood Blues.'" http://youtu.be/l3nsSvsDPHk
