Well, Congratulations, Tim. That's grand. I've never heard of that : story puzzle stuff---sounds interesting.

Just exactly how many magazines do you subscribe to, Margaret. I know---nonnamybeeswax.

Best,
Greg

I've never heard of that : story puzzle stuff---sounds interesting. - it's standard OuLiPo stuff. See http://homepages.tesco.net/~magdtp/russiandoll.html

Just exactly how many magazines do you subscribe to, Margaret. - in Cambridge the Univ Lib has many mags (US, UK, etc). We've also (fairly recently) acquired a Borders which sells Poetry, Alaska Quarterly Review, etc.

Tim,

What a fantastic idea. Is it done by equations, or is it all brute work of some sort? Is there some set procedure, or can you just devise your own?

Is there some set procedure, or can you just devise your own? - you can roll your own. Refs are on http://homepages.tesco.net/~magdtp/fowed.html

Greg.
Don't subscribe to this one, but had a free riffle in our local Borders.

Best,
Margaret.
