Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

I see you are from Colorado! My home...live in alabama now though...where you from?
