How do you guys like those puzzles from there? How long does it take for you to solve all in an envelope?

I'm not familiar with Puzzle Hunt, so can't compare.

Yeah, I'm with squirrel on the length of time, though there have been a couple of them that have taken me several days to fully grasp, and I confess to often needing a bit of a nudge from people here. These are very clever and different puzzles, and the artwork is remarkable, but the length of time it takes to solve is usually not huge, and it's certainly not as complex (or as lengthy) as a typical Puzzle Hunt.

This is the most aggravating part of being on this thread; I always get CPP three or four days later because of international shipping and I have to impatiently live vicariously through squirrel and craigrj. Aaaaah...

I was just thinking about this. Nope, I'm in LA and haven't gotten mine yet and doesn't look like I'll be getting it today either. This does seem even longer of a delay than usual between Europe and the US.

Alas, no sign today. If I don’t get it tomorrow, I’ll contact Jack directly.

Hopefully Jack will be able to send another one soon. I have a feeling that I'll get October and November at the same time...
