October 29 Surprise

by George Barany

This "early week level" puzzle (11x12) was created on the spur-of-the-moment after receiving Facebook notification of the birthday of one of my cyberfriends (see photo on the right). After completing the puzzle (spoiler), click here to see its honoree along with a framed and autographed version of the puzzle, and get a flavor of her writing by clicking here (you can always reach her on Facebook).

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.
