I enjoy these puzzles very much. Thank you for devising and posting them. As you may have deduced from the subtle clues in my subject line, I was wondering if we could get a file collecting the past Sunday puzzles. Perhaps another file with answers, for those times when I’ve torn out all my hair, gone without sleep for days, and ripped out the phone so I can concentrate and still can’t solve a puzzle? ---

This is my first time trying one of these. Great fun. If I transgressed any rule by posting it without having solved every element, I apologize. Thank you. ---

Nice job, **MoonIndigo1**! It would take a real paradamaniac to get all of these, I think! **DocCathode** : At some point I always hoped to go back and collect the Sunday Puzzles in one place. I have hard copies of many of these puzzles at home, but not all. Also, I’d want to clear out the typos if I ever put them together somewhere. Work, however, seldom leaves me time for anything but writing them …so as much as I’d like to put them together with answers–don’t expect it anytime soon. Sigh. Uh oh, tomorrow is Monday…back to the grindstone! ---

Well, I’m feeling pretty deflated right now. I came in all puffed up with success, ready to call Bio an old gas bag or something, but MoodIndigo1 has burst my dreams of being first. Oh well, what the helium. The missing ones are: 2. Cheesasaurus Rex 3. Ice cream cone 13. Ice star And, **MoodIndigo1** - phfffffft! ---
