What's new:
For those of you who remember the old version of the e-Nigma that I
put on the Web in '95 (which subsequently vanished), there have been a
few changes: Firstly, I've reorganized the layout to make it more
logical, and spruced things up graphically a wee bit--big deal. Also,
you can now submit your sols and have them checked electronically, and
completers can enter their names or noms on an honor role. And, most
importantly, there's now a second issue with some new puzzles to
solve!
Imagine the possibilities...
Aside from just nerdy computer-oriented puzzles, the on-line nature of
the e-Nigma allows things that just wouldn't be possible in dead-tree
format. Want a rebus with an audio clip as the rubric? It's possible
in HTML. Go wild. I'd love to be able to put out more issues, but
I'll need your collective help to make it possible. If you'd like to
pitch in and compose; please send your contributions to Xemu.

Submitting sols electronically:
This should be pretty self-explanatory; just enter one or more
solutions in the boxes provided next to each puzzle, and click one of
the "Submit" buttons. You will be brought back to the same page, with
your correct answers filled in permanently. Also, the puznotes for
puzzles which you solve correctly (which are placed, logically enough,
next to the individual puzzles, rather than bunched up at the front)
are replaced by afternotes. You'll have another chance to fill in
more solutions or correct wrong ones. When you solve all the puzzles
(get a "complete," in the lingo), you can even enter your name in the
honor roll--big whoopee.
Disclaimer:
The e-Nigma isn't going to compete with The Enigma for
puzzles; I will generally only publish stuff that by its very nature
couldn't appear in The Enigma. I'd also like to say that
although the e-Nigma appears on the official NPL site, it's a personal
project of mine, so if you hate this stuff, flame me.
