To enter, feel free to email to me, or send your entry in some mind-scramblingly innovative fashion. In the past I've had people send me their answers in pizza delivery boxes, singing telegrams, and teddy bears. There was even one hand-delivered care of my wife. This time, I want you to top yourself. Take out a full page in the Wall Street Journal, put it in a fortune cookie, have it displayed on the scoreboard at Fenway Park, the world's your oyster. Impress me, folks. And oh yeah, for everyone who pimps this site (could be big like the WSJ ad, or small like a retweet), I'll throw your name into the bowl a couple more times depending on how impressed I am with your efforts. Deadline for all entries is Wednesday July 13th, sometime before I go to bed. All decisions will be finalized next Thursday.
There will be two prizes awarded, one for a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer, and another for the one with the most creative entry. The prizes up for grabs are copies of The Penguin Classics Crossword Puzzles, which has a handful of puzzles by yours truly, among many other great constructors. (If you don't win, get your copy with the link above.)
Good luck to all. Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
UPDATE: I wrote Friday's NYT puzzle, and you can nab a copy here: [Across Lite] [PDF]
