Tweeting one clue at a time so it forms a crossword to be solved as a diagramless ... hmm ... sounds like an M.I.T. Hunt puzzle.
Um, yeah. Anyway ...
Since you asked: Francis Heaney's team won the Hunt this past weekend. Yeah, his team won last year, which meant he should have helped run the thing this year. But my man was too busy writing his book to contribute to the puzzles for this year's hunt. So, Francis joined a new team, with Patrick Blindauer and a bunch of other brainiacs, and promptly won it again. Not a surpise: Francis is hypercompetitive and a mad genius. I'm pretty sure that's the first time somebody has won the M.I.T. Hunt in consecutive years, but if I'm wrong, let me know in the comments.
Francis will be going for the three-peat next year when he ducks out of the puzzle writing, again.
I was planning on doing a post-mortem on some of the puzzles I solved, some that I think the fans on BEQ.com would enjoy, and some that I thought were just so supremely dickish that I just had to vent about them in an on-screen forum ... but I'm still burned out. I need a little more time away from puzzles. So, my full report, with links to said puzzles coming on Thursday.
In the meantime, share the puzzle.
