Hey gang. Looks like we're wrapping up yet another year of the ole' BEQ.com. December marks the 15th anniversary of this here venture. Fifteen whole years of this. Absolutely bonkers. Can we do another fifteen? I say, "yes." I hope you're all with me in this puzzly advernture.
Regulars to the site know the drill. Every puzzle on this site is absolutely free for you to solve, guilt-free. You think I make these puzzles in a vacuum? As thought exercises for the Biz Quig to feel good about himself? Hell no! They're made to be solved! An unsolved puzzle is a failure. I want you to solve these things. That's what they're there for!
That all said, there are some minor costs to keeping this thing choogling along. So, like we always do a couple times a year, I ask for a very modest donation, if and only if it's within your budget, to help defray costs. All the usual ways are accepted: Venmo (@TheBEQ), PayPal, or get in touch). Everyone who can give just $15 will receive two bonus Sunday-sized puzzles (one themed, one themeless) as a thank you. You know this already. We do this all the time. I'm just repeating myself.
But did you remember that one randomly-selected donor will receive a copy of one of my books? Of course you did. Like I said, I'm repeating myself. The twist is this year I didn't say what kind of book! It might be some dusty old tome I'll never read. Like "Finnegan's Wake." Dealer's choice.
Thanks again for fifteen years. Chip in, only if you can. Otherwise enjoy the fruits of my labors. "Everything I do, I do it for you," I said Bryan Adamsly. Cheers.
