Puzzlemakers' First Published Puzzles
Puzzlemakers' First Published Puzzles
In October 2010, I started compiling a list of puzzlemakers who had had their first puzzle published during the month that just ended. To recognize puzzlemakers whose first puzzle was published before then, I offered to put up this discussion thread.
[Arnott here:] Okay, I’ve hijacked Jeb’s original post and turned this into a
semi-official list of Tanga Puzzle Firsts. Thanks, Jeb, for starting this :)
