| JeffCaruso: Webmaster is deceased. The site seems to be running on autopilot and the puzzles have gotten out of sync with the days. This would have been a Saturday or a Sunday. |

| JeffCaruso: This is sad news. Daniel has created and maintained something that has brought joy to thousands. I wish we could all say as much. Rest in peace. |
