- In the grand tradition of Ilana Stern's name game, (whereby players
- provided cryptic clues of their names and we tried to match them)
- I propose a new edition: The Workplace game.
-
- In this chapter, we find the entrants creating cryptic clues that
- describe their workplace. This could be a University, institution,
- company, whatever.
-
- Contestants have until February 1 23:59 PST to submit their clues.
- Send them to me at
-
- quinn@eecf.stanford.edu
-
- I will compile and rearrange the clue from the answer, as was
- done in the name game. On Feb. 3 I will post the rearranged clues
- and answers so that you can have fun matching them.
-
- As with the name game, this will not be a competition -
- just another way to have fun with cryptics.
