PUZZLE #494
SEMICIRCLE SORTING 6
Below are 12 semicircles, each containing three or four letters. Your job is to
combine them all into six circles so that a common word (either 6, 7, or 8
letters long) can be read either clockwise or counterclockwise in each
circle. However, in order to do that, six of the semicircles need to be rotated
180° upside down so that they can be correctly matched up with the remaining six
semicircles.
Once all of the circles have been solved, select two of the resulting words
and combine them to get the FINAL ANSWER: the two-word name of a magazine
Once you believe you’ve figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either
redhead64@chartermi.net or
itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I’m
more likely to check the second one) and I’ll put your name on a solvers list
once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email
addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint,
though you’ll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer
to last week’s puzzle, if you haven’t already figured it out. If you have a
printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for
a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
