Dedicated to the One I Love ...

by George Barany

This "mid-week level" puzzle (15x16) was released on a day of special personal significance, but does not require any knowledge about my family in order to solve. The present site mirrors this one set up and hosted by my friend Arthur Rothstein. If you want to know more about the person pictured to the right (photo taken on her wedding day, March 29, 1986), please click here. Also, if you want to be in a generally good mood while solving the puzzle, listen to this song by the Mamas and the Papas (here for the Shirelles' version). Update (March 29, 2016): The puzzle still works (do the math). If you've been following Our Winter of Discontent, perhaps its underlying conceit may finally change in January 2017.

Click here to view or download the puzzle in PDF format; here to download it as a puz file; here to download it as an ipuz file [requires the free Puzzazz app to solve]; here to solve the puzzle interactively (thanks to Jim Horne); here for the solution.
