====== Corrigenda for the Enigma -- 2005 ====== ===== January ===== 38: The solution may not be in all NI3 ’s 44: The 8 isn't intended to be over to the right the way it seems to be. The answer is NI3 usage. X1, X2: These are reruns of December's X3 and X4. ===== February ===== There is an extraneous hyphen in line two of flat 32. (Sorry, Xemu.) ===== March ===== KU-2 - Should be in quotation marks, not underlined. C5 - There should be a space after MKDEG. ===== April ===== * KUR-1: The pronunciation actually is 11C-legitimate. * R-7: *5 = not MW; 9 = NI3. * R-18: The close quote could reasonably go after the blank instead of before it. * C-5: *GNOME is NI3. ===== May ===== An important May erratum: One flat contains TETCBN. ===== June ===== * Afternote for April #3: The genus is __Eranthus__, of course, not __Ranunculus__ (though __Ranunculus__ is also a buttercup genus). * 58: The enumeration should be underlined. * X-9: The two trigrams stuck together should be separate. * Solution to April X-9: "replace," not "remove." * Afternote to R-3: //Late ***Show*** with David Letterman//, of course. * The afternote for R-19 is actually for R-20. * X-1: I didn't make the shading in this grid dark enough, so it didn't come through clearly. The idea that each 2x2 block of grid squares represents one square on the chessboard, so every other 2x2 block should be shaded gray. The shading is not essential to the solution, except insofar as it helps the grid mirror an actual chessboard and helps solvers stay oriented. * June 33: Should be tagged "rubric contains abbr." ===== July ===== * July 7: __*1 *2 *3__ should be __*1 **^**2 *3__. * July 61: SIX FOUR = NI2+. * July C-7: JYKDQZWX should be JYKDQZ**XW**. ===== August ===== With thanks to Wrybosh, Treesong, Rubrick, Ucaoimhu, Kray, Pebbles, Codex, and Squonk: * Easy list: #27 is not easy. Not in my book, anyway. I intended to mark #30 as belonging on the easy list. * KU-1: Sunnyvale, not Sunnydale. Rubrick doesn't hunt vampires, as far as I know. This is not rubrical. * CF-17: Somewhere along the line, we lost the rubric! [[/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=solving:corrigenda:enigma-2005:aug2005-cf-17.pdf|The PDF]] has the missing rubric. * CF-35: The caret next to "Chest" is extraneous. June sols: * #38 should be "cuter one sunder. bat, O pub ELO wit [cut E; R on E, S under B atop U below it] * #42 should read Robert Green Ingersoll. Editorially yours, Saxifrage ===== September ===== ===== October ===== With thanks to Wrybosh, Treesong, Badir, Wabbit, and Abacus: * The flat #64 between #4 and #5 is a result of careless cutting and pasting. Consider it flat #4A; there's nothing rubrical about it. * #6: OUTER = phrase usage * #7: D = * * #8: Arguably, EIGHT and TEN should have been SEVENed and EIGHTed, with enumerations of 7 and 8. * #17: Not enigmatic. * #20 is a repeat of July #55. * #26: In the last line, "coast" should be "cost." (Not the cueword COAST, the word in the verse.) * #32: Not that it affects solving, but EIGHT should really be NINE. * #58: Reading includes abbr. * X-12: IEC didn't get itself realphabetized properly, but it has the correct letters. Editorially yours, Saxifrage ===== November ===== With thanks to Abacus, Pebbles, and Philana: 68: Reading contains abbr. \\ C-7: EHAOKWB = *, not quite MW usage \\ In the solution to September X-1, "addressed" should be "addressee." \\ Editorially yours, Saxifrage ===== December ===== With thanks to Treesong and Philana -- 8 - Add an "and" before "race" in line one. \\ 57 - First 7 should be *; reading includes coinage. \\ 60 - Second 8 in enumeration and tag should be 9. \\ 62 - Tag should be (one answer = + usage). \\ X-5 - Only the '^5' should be underlined. \\ Editorially yours, Saxifrage
