For those that like introductory stories, Teki, Meki (now Lucifer), and I worked for the same company for many years. I happened to be working in Teki's office when he had an Enigma – with the answers written in for all but two puzzles – ones he and Meki wrote (separately, I believe, but they may've been co-written with each other or another Krewe).
I got one sol in a “reasonable” time … it used a word for a kind of soil well-known in Texas. That was the encouragement. The other one drove me crazy and wasted my time for many hours until I put it aside. That was the bit of reality … but luckily it didn't faze me. I finally asked Meki for the answer and he tried to hint me but I think he finally ended up telling me. Anyway, soon I was in an office near Meki, and with his encouragement ended up getting my subscription. My heartfelt thanks to both of them. Again and again !
