Hi John...


 AA>> Hi All...
 AA>> The puzzle consists of a 100-page prose narrative with its pages arranged
 AA>> in the wrong order. [...] To solve the puzzle, the reader must determine
 AA>> the correct order of the pages and also the names of the murderers and
 AA>> victims within the story. The story's text includes a large number of
 AA>> quotations, references, puns, Spoonerisms and other word games. The pages
 AA>> can be arranged in 9.33?10157 (factorial of 100) possible combinations,
 AA>> but there is only one correct order. The solution to the puzzle has never
 AA>> been made public.

 AA>> Caution: NOT for ebook readers!  ;)  The physical format is the ONLY way
 AA>> to go for this challenge..  and you could even be tempted to rip out the
 AA>> pages to but the story in chronological order.
 JD>  Definitely not for me. I just don't have the patience for that sort of
thing.

I suppose even something like this is not your fort??
