I wrote most of this puzzle several weeks ago while vacationing on the beaches of North Carolina. Below are 12 lists of letters. I had simple instructions for figuring out what these lists are all about but I lost them. When one is at the beach and one’s thoughts turn to attractive ladies in swimsuits, mistakes can happen. While I was so distracted, the tide came in and took away the simple instructions. Sorry. I do remember that each list of letters involves a name not so well known and another name that is very well known. There’s also an explanation somewhere. I’m sure someone here can sort this out.
Welcome home, Biotop! I’m certainly glad your vacation plans didn’t include sightseeing in NYC or the Pentagon. I’m so glad, in fact, I’m even willing to forgive you for Puzzle 24 (which I hope you noticed we finallysolved during your absence).
I’m at work and am supposed to be toiling on the 4th quarter budget, but let me see… Setec, I don’t see a typo in 7, but I’m probably wrong. Let me look at it again…
aseymayo, Congratulations on solving #24! I told you the answer was RIGHT THERE, didn’t I? By the way, I had “lower” as a definition for Cow (5), but Steer works just as well. If I get a chance tonight, I’ll post the ending I wrote for that story. It’s great to be back here!
