Just looking at that thing is bonkers. Each PAGE is hard enough  
to decypher, let alone putting them in the right order!

But there is a monetary prize $350USD to fund unbound.com  
projects. Contest ends in Nov/Dec'22

BTW.. unbound.com seems like an interesting "publishing"  
initiative.

I suppose you're not a puzzle guy in general?

Not even this cool thing?  It's a jigsaw puzzle that only  
provides clues as you put it together. But there is no clue as  
to what the puzzle looks like.

I brought in this particular one to see what it's like:

mNiQ

Meanwhile.. I learned that there are a few more "stories" in  
this style.

Back to book-style mysteries, I like the 5-minute types that  
reveal all the clues in a short story, and it's up to the  
reader to figure out who-dun-it.
