End of semester happenings

 It's been a very nice few weeks: for my birthday, Boo surprised me with a birthday themed puzzle, her very first 9x9 puzzle!  And it's a lovely puzzle --- I solved it on video for her, and it subsequently got featured on BremSter, with the result that as of today, a few weeks later, it's had 1990 solves!

In related news, we put up our thousandth FullDeck and Missing a Few Cards puzzle on missingdeck.net, passed 600,000 solves, and over a million views of videos of people solving our puzzles.

We were honoured by the college with the Community Engagement award, largely for sudoku related outreach, and will be giving a TedX talk in the Fall on this topic.

Yours, thrilled by all of this,

It's been a while

 It has been a while since I posted anything as BreadBox.  One of the last posts was that Boo was a student in Halifax, at University of King's College.  Well, she's now graduated, and Skibo is a senior there as well: he's looking to earn double Honors majors in History and Physics.  

In the meantime, I've taken up setting variant sudoku puzzles: I co-create with "FullDeck", setting together as "FullDeck and Missing a Few Cards".  

A couple of weeks ago, I drove up to Halifax to visit Boo and Skibo for a week, and while there, taught  both of them to start creating puzzles too!  I'm looking forward to their creations!

Yours, puzzlingly
N.  Or, MaFC.
