I did get everything right but my work server s**ks at getting on Mental Floss so it took me an hour before I could read the final puzzle.

regarding Day #2 did anyone else cheat like me and go directly to the old Lunchtime quizzes by Mr. Israel which ended up giving the answers to all of the theme songs but the Twilight Zone.

Sometimes there’s good info right on the Mental Floss webstie.

Congrats to the winners, I’ll be gunning for you next time (if my server lets me)

re: site down

It seems so many people tried to hit our site to read the final puzzle, the server crashed and was down for about 5 minutes or so. Sorry for that. We’re working on the problem so it doesn’t happen again.

Great catch on Flatland vs A New Era of Thought. I went through the same struggle, eventually choosing ANEoT because the term was used. Didn’t pick up on the “novel” aspect of it though. Great job guys!

Just as an aside, did anyone else have a hard time getting to the website at the designated time on Friday?

Impressive solving! Also, a very impressive puzzle by David.

EEP, Mr. Burns! You forgot to add 13! Good job, everyone.
