      Eric, the link you sent in the email to the Adobe file takes me to the Adobe website but the page it blank for me. Is anyone else having trouble or unable to download?

      Wow, the money jumped up a lot again after you hit $1,500. I wonder if that has anything to do with the puzzles now being a definite go.

      Hyped to be involved.

      Can we chat about a seperate "puzzle project" if you're free sometime Eric? I'm the founder of an online newspaper called Broadersheet and we're seeking some funky puzzle to integrate with out application.

      drop me a line :) peter[at]omgponi.es.

      I'm very bad at puzzles, but this is a really cool kickstarter project!

      Once we hit the $1,500 target (assuming that even happens) I'll send out the books. That could be today -- although that would be miraculous -- or it could be just before the deadline. Your guess is as good as mine how this will all work out.

      And, of course, if we don't reach the goal at all, nobody pays anything, and nobody gets anything. At that point, if you still want the books, contact me and we'll figure something out.

      These puzzles will be of a Wednesday/Thursday level of difficulty.

      How would you gauge the difficulty of your puzzles? Which day of the week?
