I hope that everybody who solved the MIT Mystery Hunt this weekend had a great time. Special congratulations to Death and Mayhem on completing the hunt this morning. On a related note, I may be a bit slow about responding to messages as I catch up on sleep. The hint for last week’s Break the Ice is now up, as is the solution to Sidekicks from two weeks ago.
The new puzzle for this week is Ornithology. This one is for the birds.
The sixth season of Grant Fikes’ series Kevin’s Puzzles at Home, his homage to this site, is ongoing as well. If anything, these puzzles are a bit easier than mine, and as an added bonus, he donates to a food pantry for every solve. Head on over and solve some puzzles to help the hungry!
The answer to the puzzle each week is a word or short phrase. Enter it into the box below, ignoring any punctuation. Due to a quirk of the setup, answer submissions with unorthodox spacing will take a while to appear on the leaderboard, though the solve time will be properly recorded.
