Welcome to The Newsstand board! If you are not aware of what The Newsstand is, you can get caught up by going to the pinned post on this board. I am not an editorial person, nor a person who would know where to start on keeping you all informed. I still read the local newspaper each day to get my news and listen to an AM radio talk show. Instead, I will be posting a couple brain teasers 2x a week. Post the correct answer and win 1k in-game! You can either respond with the answer or download the images and write on them to respond. Happy solving!

P.S. If you are interested in posting editorials to this board, please contact myself or another admin to get the rundown on how!

Brain Teaser Monday, February 27th
In this small crossword, all of the consonants in the answer words are provided, in alphabetical order. The missing vowels -- and the words themselves -- are for you to guess. The letter Y isn't used.



Brain Teaser Tuesday, February 28th
The three words coded below are clues to the placement of their letters in this grid. Each number in the code represents the sum of the column and row headings of that letter. Can you put the letters into the proper cells of the grid to spell out, reading across, a great way to make money?



Brain Teaser Wednesday, March 1st
Divide this rectangle along the lines into two identically shaped 12-block pieces so that one piece contains all the P's and the other piece contains all the Q's. A starting hint will be released on Wednesday if no one gives the answer before then.

Hint for Wednesday Brain Teaser:

Since the feud is rectangle, the two answer prices will have 180 degree rotational symmetry. Start by filling in the symmetrically opposite letter for each P and Q given in the grid.

Do you have more hints?

I do not unfortunately, as any more would really give away the answer :(

Remember that they are symmetric, meaning you will have the exact same shape twice!
