That's my boy!

I know a lot of the NPL Krewe are busy with the ACPT today, but I wanted to crow a bit about flat 56 in the March Enigma. Tani thought of the base and told it to me as a joke (with the same premise as we used in the flat). He then asked if it would make a good puzzle for the Enigma. I said it would, and I helped him with versifying it.

I think it would be cool to start a "Juniors" division in the NPL, with "Enigma Jr" coming out four times a year. Anyone else think it would be fun to get the kids writing and solving puzzles?

ETA: For non-NPL'ers, a quick translation: About a month ago, Tani came up with a "base", that is, a cool pair of phrases that serve as the answer to a "flat" puzzle. I helped him write the poem, and it appears as puzzle #56 in the March issue of the Enigma, the NPL puzzle magazine, which came out this morning.

I like it! I wish I had children so I could put them to hard labor writing bases for me!

That would be awesome! I've only written two puzzles myself, both while in college.
