Many of these puzzles are pretty easy.
I knocked off about 20 in
the first ten minutes. Once you get the hang of it, you will
probably do even better. There are
currently 102 clues.
If
you send me 51
correct answers, I will send you the complete
list of all the answers.

in the Subject Line

Brief
Background: In 2001 Ralph Volz sent me a quiz with 57 clues.
I decided to
add 43 of my own to make a nice round number. I have to admit as I
put together the quiz I had the haunting feeling there were many
number clues I was forgetting.
As
you work the quiz, I
welcome all participants to submit number clues of their own to
improve the test!!

Can you think of some other clues? In particular there are numbers like 41, 49, 98 and many
more which would be more fun if the number on the quiz matched the
number in the quiz.
