The fleet consists of one 0 battleship (four grid squares in length), two cruisers (each three 0 Squares long), three destroyers (each two squares long), and four • ~submarines (one square each).

0 *• In nearly all Battleships puzzles, the contents of a few of the squares have * been revealed to start you off. These "shots" come in four types:

* Water This square contains no ship.

* [Oi Submarine This square consists of a submarine, and thus must be sur- * rounded by water.

* [0 End of a ship This square can be oriented in any of four directions. It * indicates the end of either a destroyer, cruiser, or battleship. The square adja- * cent to the flat side must be occupied by a ship segment. All other surround- 0 * ing squares are filled with water.

can only contain two ship segments. You can then fill in Figure 2 the spaces surrounding the destroyer with water. The ship A B C D E F G H I J segment at CT must be the middle part of a cruiser or one of the middle sections of the battleship. The ship must be horizontal (if it were vertical, it would extend below the bottom edge of the grid), so the squares to the left and right of CT (BT and DT) must have ship segments in them. Since row T can only have a total of three ship segments in it, BT-CT-DT must be a cruiser. The squares surrounding it can be filled in with water. The filled-in square at EM is also the middle section of a 1 2 2 2 5 1 0 2 1 A cruiser or one of the middle sections of the battleship. Figure 3 You don't know which yet, but you know that the four squares that touch a ship segment diagonally must be A B C D E F G H I J water, because ships never touch diagonally. Keep this in mind at all times for easier solving. Your grid should now look like Figure 2. Now use strategy 2. Rows K, Q, and T, and columns D and G have all of their ship segments accounted for, so you can fill all the blank squares in those rows and columns with water. Your grid should now look like

Figure 3. 1 2 2 2 5 1 0 2 1 4 Now look at EM. It must be part of a ship that goes vertically because DM is water, and the ship can no Figure 4 longer extend to the left. You could have figured this out using strategy 3 instead, since column E has only three blank spaces, all of which need to be filled with ship segments to reach the five needed. Since four segments in a row in column E are filled, that must be the battleship. Row R also has to have all of its empty spaces filled with ship segments. The left part, AR-BR must be a destroyer. The right part, HR and JR, must have ship segments in them, too. Don't make the mistake of filling them in with submarines-although they may be submarines, each one could also be the top half of a destroyer. To indicate that it's filled in with an unidentified Figure 5 ship segment, use a small dot in the middle of the square. Your grid should now look like Figure 4. Whenever you fill in a ship segment, go back to strategy 1. Here, you can put water in FM and FO, and IS, too, since it touches a ship segment diagonally. And using strategy 2, you can put water in what's left of columns A and B and rows L and N, to get Figure 5. It's time to use strategy 3 again. Column F must have a submarine in that empty space (it can't be some-

This gives you Figure 6. When you return to strategy 1 this time, you'll find M N it doesn't help, but strategy 2 does: You can fill in the 0 blank spaces of columns C, H, and I and row S with P water, since they already contain the required number Q R of ship segments. Your grid now looks like Figure 7. S The dots in row R are surrounded by water, so they T must be submarines. And since you need two more ship segments in column J and have two spaces available, you can finish off the puzzle by filling those spaces with Figure 7 a destroyer. A quick double check verifies that you have K all the required ships, so you're done (Figure 8). L The three basic strategies, though certainly impor- M tant, will take you only so far. When you've reached a N point at which the basic strategies provide no further help, 0 P the simplest advanced strategy is to try placing the larg- 0 est ship that hasn't yet been located. If you haven't found R where the battleship goes, try finding a spot for it. If the S battleship is already in place, then look for spots for the T cruisers. Here's an example (Figure 9). First, of course, you should fill in what you can Figure 8 using the basic strategies. Your grid should now look like ARBC D FCGH Figure 10. K 0 Now, consider where the battleship can go. It must L 1 go in a row or column that has a four or higher. Only 5 N 1 two qualify: row L and column E. It can't fit in row L, A DEFG 2 though-that row already contains a ship that can't be 1 the battleship since there's only room for it to be a cruiser 2 R 4 or destroyer, and the battleship can't go in the right part S 1 of the row since then there would be more than four T 3 1222510214 0 0 0 Figure 9 Figure 10 Figure 11 0 A B C D E F G H I J A B C D E F G H I J 0 A B C D E F GH I J 0 K K K L 0 L 0 M M M 5Z 5: 0 N N N 0 0 0 0 0 0- 2 P P 0 Q Q 0 0 R 0 R R 0 S S 0 T T T 0 0 2 1 16 2 2 3 2 1 0211622321 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

spaces filled by ships. So the battleship must go in col- Figure 12 umn E. But where in the column? Its top can be at either A B C D E F G H I J EN, EO, EP, or EQ. You don't know which, but if you 2 look at those four possibilities, you'll notice that in ev- 4 3 ery case EQ is filled with a ship segment. So you can put 1 a dot in EQ. Any time you put a dot in a square, you can •L I1_L 2 immediately put water in the diagonally adjacent squares 1 (since ships never touch diagonally), so fill in FP and FR 3 2 with water. And look at row Q. It has its three ship seg- T• • •_--T- 2 ments, so the rest 1 of it must be water-fill them in (Figure 021122317 11, page 33). When you've filled in all the spaces surrounding a square that contains a dot, you can convert the dot to its Figure 13 proper ship segment. Here, square IQ must be the right B C D E F G H I J end of a destroyer. Whenever you make a change using an advanced strategy, go back to you basic strategies to see if you can use them. Row R has only one empty space, and it has a one at the end of it, so that empty square must be filled with a ship segment. Since you don't yet know what type it is, put a dot in it. That dot gives you water in FS. Your grid should now look like Figure 12.

Now you'll need to think. Consider the four places 2 1 1 6 2 2 3 2 1 the battleship can go. The first is EN-EO-EP-EQ. That's not possible because to put it there, ER would have to Figure 14 contain water, but it doesn't. The next possibility is EO- EP-EQ-ER. It fits, but putting it there would require water in EN and ES, leaving only one more blank space in column E, and two are needed to bring the total number of ship segments to six. So that possibility is out, too. The next possibility, EP-EQ-ER-ES, has the same problem- EO and ET would need to be water, leaving only one blank space (at EN), when two are needed to bring the total to six. So the last possibility, with the battleship at EQ-ER-ES-ET, must be correct; fill it in. That allows you to put water at EP and FT (Figure 13). Figure 15 Now go back to the basic strategies. Fill in square BP with a dot (remember not to assume it's a submarine-it could extend upward!), and EN-EO with a destroyer. This puts water at FM, FN, and FO (Figure 14). Continue using the basic strategies. Column F must contain a destroyer at FK-FL, and water must go in GK, GL, and GM. Now look at row M. HM-IM-JM must be a cruiser. This puts water in HL, IL, JL, GN, HN, IN, and JN. You can also fill in BN, IK, 10, IS, IT, JK, JO, JS, JT, BT, GT, and HT with water, giving you Figure 15. g e e e 0 g g g e

You can complete the puzzle with the basic strate- Figure 16 gies. Finish rows K and L first, and then columns B, G, and H. When you're done, your solution should look like Figure 16. This example illustrates how a typical Battleships puzzle of medium difficulty can be solved. You start with the three basic strategies, then use some logical thinking to break through to the next step, and finish by again using the basic strategies. More difficult puzzles require more of these thought steps (Figure 17). Using the basic strategies, you can get to the point shown in Figure 18. Now try the advanced strategy of finding where Figure 17 the biggest remaining ship goes. In this case, the biggest A B C D E F G H I J 3 ship not yet placed is the battleship. It can only go in 1 column I (the only row or column with a four or higher), 3 at either IK-IL-IM-IN or IL-IM-IN-IO. In both cases, IL, 1 IM, and IN have ship segments in them, so you can fill 1.J-A 2 2 those in. You can also put water in IT, since the battle- 3 ship in the top of column I will use up all four allotted ship segments (Figure 19). 3 As always, after using an advanced strategy, you 2202222341 should reapply the basic strategies. You'll find you can put water in all the empty spaces of rows L and N, as Figure 18 well as in HK, HM, HO, JK, JM, and JO since they're A B C D E F G H I J diagonally adjacent to ship segments (Figure 20). 3 This is as far as you'll get with the basic strategies. I It's time to try advanced strategy again. You know roughly 3 2 where the battleship goes (somewhere at the top of col- 2 umn I); consider now where the cruisers can go. Only 2 rows and columns with a three or higher are possibili- 3 ties. You can rule out column I (since the battleship ac- counts for all four segments there), row M (since, after 3 2202222341 0 0 a Figure 19 Figure 20 Figure 21 0 a S 6 A B C D E F G H I J 0 S K 3 S 0 L 1 0 M 3 a 0 S N 2 S 0 0 2 a 0 P a 2 0 0 G 3 R C 0 S 0 C T 3 a 0 0 2 20 2 22 2 34A 0 0 S C 0 0 S S C 0 0 S

36 0 0 0 0 0 0 And now, at last, you can finish the puzzle with Figure 26 the basic strategies (Figure 26). A B C D E F G H I J By now, you should know enough to get through all but the toughest of Battleships puzzles. Further ad- vancement requires practice and more advanced strategies. Take a look at the next puzzle (Figure 27). After using the basic strategies, the puzzle should look like Figure 28. The biggest ship not yet placed is the battleship. Where can it go? Plenty of places: It could fit in one place in row N, one place in column B, or in any of four places in column J. You probably don't want to try that many possibilities. It's time for a different strategy: Look Figure 27 around the board for rows and columns that are almost A B C D E F G H IJ 2 determined. In particular, look for rows and columns in 1 which the number of ship segments left to place is one 2 less than the number of empty spaces. In this puzzle, 4 row N needs four ship segments and has only five empty 3 3 spaces. Row 0 needs three ship segments in the four 3 remaining empty spaces. You'll find a similar condition 0 in row Q, but for this puzzle you should concentrate on 0. rows N and Consider square CN. If it's filled with a 0431122304 ship segment, then both BO and DO would have to contain water (since they're diagonally adjacent to CN). But Figure 28 that would leave only two empty spaces in row 0 for A B C D E F G H I J three ship segments-an impossibility! So CN can't contain a ship segment; fill it in with water. After filling CN with water, the basic strategies will take you a long way (Figure 29). Now you go back to the first advanced strategy: Where can the biggest remaining ship go? In this case, you still need to place two destroyers. You can fit one of them in column C and the other in row K. They can't go anywhere else, so that's 0 A 3 1 1 2 2 3 0 4 where they must be. The destroyer in row K must go at Figure 29 Figure 30 FK-GK, so CK is water, leav- A B C D E F G H I J K 2 ing CS-CT for the other de- L i 1 stroyer (Figure 30). MI From here, you just need to make the dot at CL P 3 a submarine and fill the Q 3 blank squares with water, R 0 and you're done (Figure 31, T H 1H page 38). 0 4 3 1 1 2 2 3 0 A

It's time for a toughie (Figure 32). Figure 31 By now, the basic strategies should be second na- A B C D E F G H I J ture to you; applying them, your grid should look like K 2 Figure 33. L 1 M 2 Now you'll need some deep thought. Where can N 4 the battleship go? Only in row M or row N. But you can 0 3 be even more specific than that. It can't go at BM-CM- P 3 DM-EM because then AN, BN, CN, DN, EN, and FN Q 3 R 0 would contain water, not leaving enough spaces for four s ship segments in row N. Similarly, it can't go at BN-CN- T1 DN-EN, because then row M would be impossible. So 04A3 11 22 304A either the battleship goes at ABCD in one of these rows Figure 32 (M or N) with F and HIJ occupied in the other or it goes at CDEF in one of these rows with A and HIJ occupied in A 8 C D E F G H I J the other. In either case, the one at the bottom of column A is filled in row M or N, as is the one of column D and the one of column I. So you can put water in all the empty spaces in columns A, D, and I other than those in rows M and N (Figure 34). Back to the basic strategies-they'll bring you to Figure 35. III You already know the battleship and one of the I 1 3 3 1 3 2 0 3 1 3 cruisers will go somewhere in rows M and N. Where will the other cruiser go? The only possibility is column Figure 33 B. Row Q and column E can be ruled out for obvious A 8 C D E F G H I J reasons. Columns C, H, and J are out because, as dis- cussed above, at least one square in each of those columns will be part of a horizontal ship in row M or N. The cruiser in column B will account for all three hits in the column, so the battleship must go at CDEF of either row M or N, and either AM or AN must be a submarine. You can now place the cruiser in column B. Since it must include BP, its top is at BN, BO, or BP. If it were at BN or

38 S 6 0 S 0 6 BO, then both AN and CN would contain water, making Figure 37 rows M and N impossible to finish, so the top of the cruiser must be at BR Placing the cruiser at BP-BQ-BR and-of course-applying the basic startegies, yields Fig- ure 36 (page 38). Now look at column C. Three of those four squares must have ship segments. The battleship fits horizontally into either row M or N, taking up one of those three spaces. If it went in row M, then CL and CN would both contain water, making column C impossible. So the battleship goes at CN-DN-EN-FN. With basic strategies, you'll get Figure 37. Check out the submarines-they've all been placed. Figure 38 That means the dot at JP can't be a submarine, so it must be part of a destroyer. And that gives you enough infor- 0 1 mation to finish the puzzle (Figure 38). 4 One more puzzle (Figure 39) and then you're on A 1 your own to discover new, more advanced strategies. 2 Basic strategies don't help much (Figure 40). 3 Our advanced strategies don't help much either. 2 The battleship can go in a number of places, and none 2 of the rows or columns are within one of being filled. Sometimes solving the really hard puzzle requires trial and error. Figure 39 The battleship can go in two places in column G A B C D E F G H I J and in six places in column I. Try them until one works. As soon as one works you can stop, because all Battle- ships have unique answers. Try the first of two locations 0 in column G, namely GP-GQ-GR-GS. After surrounding the battleship with water, and completing column G with water, the next step is to complete column H with a cruiser at HL-HM-HN and complete column F with a ship segment at LF. But wait! Now row L has two ship 10221 24341

segments (Figure 41, page 39), which is one too many, Figure 43 so the battleship doesn't go at GP-GQ-GR-GS. A B C D E F G H I J Moving on, try the battleship at the bottom of column G. Surround the ship with water and complete col- a umn F with a ship segment at FL and complete column G with water at GL. Now look at row L. Make the ship segment a submarine and complete the row with water. Now complete column H with a cruiser at HM-HN-HO and surround it with water. This leaves column I with L 9ý four consecutive spaces that need to be filled, but the battleship can't go there since it's already in column G 1022124341 (Figure 42, page 39). You now know the battleship is in column I. Try Figure 44 placing it next to the top, at IL-IM-IN-lO. (It can't start at A B C D E F G H I J IK since row K has no ship segments.) Surround the ship with water, and complete column I with water. Com- plete rows L, M, and N with water, and complete row 0 with a destroyer at CO-DO. Fill in the water surrounding the destroyer and complete row P with a submarine at AP and a destroyer at FP-GR Surround that destroyer with water, and complete columns A and F with water. Now row Q must have a destroyer at CQ-DQ and a sub- 102212Fu 453 marine at JQ. Surround the destroyer with water and complete columns C, D, and J with water. At last, there is an Figure 45 impossibility. Row R must have another destroyer in it, A B C D E F G H I J but there are none left. Also, columns G and H must 0 both have cruisers in them adjacent to each other (Fig- ure 43). 2 Onward you go, to IM-IN-IO-IR Start by surround- 1021 3 ing the battleship with water and completing its column 2 3 with water. Next, complete column H with a cruiser at 3 2 HR-HS-HT and surround it with water. This makes col- 2 umn G impossible (Figure 44). 3 Next up is IN-IO-IP-IQ. Start by surrounding the battleship with water and completing its column with Figure 46 water. Next, complete column H with a submarine at HL and a destroyer at HS-HT. Complete row L with wa- A B C D E F G H I J ter and surround the destroyer with water and column G 0 becomes impossible (Figure 45). Just three more possibilities. At this point you may 2 start worrying that none of these three will work and that 3 3 you'll have to go back and redo everything you've done 3 so far to find your mistake. That's the wrong way to think. 2 Have confidence! Keep working. 2 3 1 0 2 2 1 2 4 3 4 1

plete its column with water. Then complete column H 0 with a destroyer at HL-ML and a ship segment at HT. Complete rows L and M with water and fill in water at 2 GS (since it's diagonally adjacent to HT). Complete col- 3 umn G with a cruiser at GP-GQ-GR and a ship segment 3 at GT, and surround the cruiser with water. Row 0 can 3 2 be completed with a destroyer at CO-DO, and the water 2 surrounding it can be filled in. Now both AN and AP 3 must have ship segments to complete rows N and P, but 1 0 2 2 7-2 4 3 A 1 column A can only have one ship segment in it, so it's yet another impossibility (Figure 46, page 40). Figure 48 The next possibility is IP-IQ-IR-IS. This one doesn't ABC D E F GH J last long at all. After surrounding the battleship with water 0 and completing its column, there's an impossibility in row 0 (Figure 47). A B F .. .. 2 So you are left with only one possibility, namely 3 3 IQ-IR-IS-IT. It had better work! Basic strategies don't take 3 you too far (Figure 48). 2 Don't be discouraged, though. You've made it this 2 3 far. You'll sink this fleet yet! Move on to advanced strat- 1 0 22 1 2 4 3 4 1 egy. Where can the longest not-yet-placed ship go? The

cruisers can only go in column G, column H, or row P. If Figure 49 it went in row P though, row 0 would be impossible. A B C D E F GH I J Here's why: If the cruiser were at CP-DP-EP or at DP-EP- 0 FP, then CO and DO would have to be water, leaving too few empty spaces in row 0. If the cruiser were at EP- 2 FP-GP, then DO and HO would have to be water, again 3 leaving too few empty spaces in row 0. Since those are 3 the only three places where the cruiser can go in row P, 3 2 it must not go.there. That leaves you only two places for 2 the two cruisers, so they must go in those places: K 3 10 2 2 1 24 34 1

You don't know exactly where, but you do know that GR must 0 0 0 0 contain a ship segment, as well as both HM and HN (Figure 49, page 41). 0 0 Using basic strategies now, you get Figure 50 (page 41). 0 0 0 0 Now, if GP were empty, then column G would need a battleship to fill it. But 0 0 you've already used the battleship, so GP must have a ship segment. Similarly, GT 0 0 0 0 can't be empty or else column G would need a battleship, so it too has a ship seg- 0 0 ment (Figure 51, page 41). 0 0 0 0 From here you can use basic strategies (starting off with water in HO since it's 0 0 diagonally adjacent to GP, which has a ship segment in it) to finish up (Figure 52, 0 0 0 0 page 41). 0 0 0 0 0 0 So there you have it. There are plenty of other strategies to use, depend- 0 0 ing on the puzzle. For example, if all the submarines are already in place, 0 0 0 0 then every remaining ship segment must be a part of a longer ship, and if 0 0 0 0 there's a column with a one that crosses a row with a one then it must contain 0 0 water, since if it contained a ship, it would be a fifth submarine. Similarly, if 0 0 0 0 three submarines are in place and there's a row with a two that has both 0 0 0 0 adjacent rows filled with water, then you know the row with the two has to 0 0 be a destroyer, not two submarines, since only one submarine is left to place. 0 0 0 0 And then there's the case when ... well, you get the idea. Part of the fun is 0 0 0 0 discovering new strategies. 0 0 And the best way to develop new strategies is to solve lots of puzzles. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Many 0 0 people are amazed at how he solves so many crimes so quickly. 0 He says, "The more you know about people and 0 the world 0 we live in, the easier it is to solve a problem." 0 0 His son, Junior, enjoys learning too, and he solves a few 0 0 mysteries himself. 0 0 Read, listen, think carefully, and you can solve these 0 crimes too! 0 0 Solutions-Pages 228-229 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * 0 * 0 0 0 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The owner of the building, 0 S 0 0 Gracious Host, lived in a large apartment downstairs. She rented 0 0 0 0 out the three apartments upstairs. Dr. J. L. Quicksolve had heard 0 0 0 0 the call over the police radio and arrived before the officers. 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gracious described her tenants to Dr. Quicksolve. She said 0 0 0 0 Tweeter Woofer was a young "hippie type" who sometimes played S 0 her music too loudly. "I told 0 S her, one more complaint and she 0 0 would be out on the street." Baby Blossom was hearing impaired, 0 0 0 S but "she reads lips." Terry Cloth was dead. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

68 S S 0 S 0 Gracious said she was sure only her three tenants were in the building when she heard the shots and discovered the body. The hall was quiet when Dr. Quicksolve walked upstairs. The woman in the bathrobe lay against the wall, as if she were taking * a nap. The three red stains told him the nap would last forever. * Dr. Quicksolve heard music in the back of the apartment and smelled burning incense when Tweeter Woofer opened her apartment door to let him enter. Miss Woofer was shocked when he explained what had happened. As they stood inside the door, she said, "This is so upsetting. Who would shoot Terry?" She said she did not hear anything and did not see anything. * Dr. Quicksolve knocked quietly on Baby Blossom's door. She and her dog, a yellow Labrador, came to the door. He explained what happened. "I was a little afraid to open the door because I thought I heard shots," she said. "Iguess I was right." When Dr. Quicksolve went back downstairs, the policemen had arrived. "Ihave a good suspect," he told them.

Which woman did he suspect?

the Old West was a hobby of his. We had to hunt for his next-of- kin," Fred said as Junior's ice cream was brought out by two wait- resses wearing conductor's caps and red bandannas. * "Did you find anybody?" Junior asked, reaching for his spoon. * "They found us, " Fred said, "which wasn't surprising consid- ering the money they stood to inherit. I've narrowed it down to two people. The rest are obviously just pretending to be relatives, hoping to get the money." "Who are they?" Junior asked. "One is a niece from Chicago, and the other is a cousin from * North Dakota. They're the only ones who don't have a previous record of fraud of some sort or another. I still have to check out their claims, though. Would you like to talk to them with me?" he asked Dr. Quicksolve. "Sure; it sounds interesting," the detective answered. "Let's start with the one from North Dakota."

He showed his dad the 1953 rookie card that had a price of $300 on it. "Save your money," Dr. Quicksolve said. "No, my clerk, Art Dunn, closed up last night. He always closes up. He bolts the back door and goes out the front. I let him have his own key. I don'tthink he would do anything like this." Then he noticed Junior looking at the cards. "You like Mickey Mantle?" he asked Junior. He reached below the counter and brought out a card that showed Mantle standing at the left side of the plate as if he were waiting for a pitch. "Without all those injuries he would have been the Home Run King." "What do you think of the Strikeout Sportscard Shop?" Fred asked Junior as they walked out onto the sidewalk. * "I don't think I'd buy anything from that guy," Junior said, "and you probably should doubt what he tells you about the robbery."

Sergeant Shurshot asked Holly what she did after they came back from shopping. * "I unwrapped the fish and put it on the counter to thaw a little. Then I went to the basement to read. Shortly after four I put the fish in the oven and took the dog for a walk. I didn't see anybody," she said. * "Will you check the cookie jar for fingerprints?" Brenda asked Sergeant Shurshot. "I don't think that will be necessary. This was an inside job," Sergeant Shurshot responded.

0 0 0 0 Dr. Quicksolve watched people make phone calls at a round 0 0 table filled with telephones, each with its tiny "booth," small di- 0 0 viders that separated the phones. He noticed one man kept a phone 0 0 to his ear with one hand. He held a pencil with the other hand, as 0 0 if he was getting instructions or directions, but he had not written S 0 anything down. A man in a jacket took the phone in the adjoining S 0 booth. He took a card out of his pocket that he looked at as he 0 0 spoke into the telephone.

"I heard the crash of the door in the kitchen," Mr. Boinkt said as he stood in the dining-room doorway holding the icepack to his head. Then I heard my wife falling down when the thugs hit her from behind. There were two of them. They never said a word and they wore masks. I turned to run, but they caught me from behind and knocked me out cold. They went upstairs to the wall safe in our bedroom. They took my wife's jewels and about $200 in cash." nex" 1 saw what happened in the kitchen through my window next door," Glenda said. "I called the police right away and ran over here with my gun, but they were gone." 0*Dr. Quicksolve looked at Ben and Glenda. He walked up the stairs without saying a word.

0 Bobby Socks looked menacing sitting in Mr. Paddlebottom's of- • fice when Junior and Kimberly Kay walked into the principal's office. Bobby wore his jeans tucked into baseball socks just below his knees. Most kids thought it looked funny. That suited Bobby fine because he used every excuse he could think of to start a fight. He had beaten up almost every boy in school at one time or another over some imagined insult. Junior was one of the few boys Bobby would not mess with, though. Junior figured Bobby was afraid to pick on the son of the famous Dr. J. L. Quicksolve. It was as if he had something to hide and was afraid Junior would figure it out. He was right.

Kimberly's new skateboard had been stolen from her garage yesterday afternoon. She was sure she had seen Bobby in his baseball uniform pushing her bike away. Mr. Paddlebottom wanted to talk to Kimberly and Bobby before he called Bobby's parents or the police. Kimberly had asked Junior to go with her to the office for moral support. "It was seven o'clock," Kimberly said when the principal asked her the time she thought she saw Bobby taking her bike. "Iwas looking out the front door for my girlfriend. Her dad was going to take us shopping," she said. "I was playing baseball in the park at seven," Bobby said. "We were playing those bums from Jackson. We were just getting our last bats. We were ahead five to nothing when I hit my second home run of the game. Then I walked home with Michael Tho- mas. You can ask him."

Sure, words are used primarily to communi- 0 0 0 0 cate, but let's face it-they're a lot of fun to play with, too. S 0 S 0 And there are lots of ways to play with them. 0 S 0 0 A word search puzzle is like a game of hide-and-seek. 0 0 We hide the words-you go seek them. If you've never solved S 6 0 0 a word search, no problem. We'll explain all the rules shortly. 0 S a 0 If you have done word searches, keep reading. You'll learn 0 S 0 0 about the twists we've added for some extra fun. 0 0 A word search puzzle is made up of two main parts: a S 0 0 0 grid and a word list. The usually rectangular-shaped grid is 0 S 0 0 filled with what looks to be a meaningless jumble of letters. 0 0 S 0 Actually, that jumble hides all the words and phrases given in 0 0 0 0 the word list, which appears on the same page. 0 0 Hidden words and phrases always go in a straight line, 0 0 S 0 but may run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Horizontal 0 0 0 0 words (words that go across) may run forward or backward. 0 0 0 0 Vertical words may go down or up. Diagonal words (top left S 0 0 S to lower right, or top right to lower left) may run up or down 0 0 along their angle. So words may run in any of eight possible S 0 0 0 directions. Also, be aware that the same letter may be used S 0 0 S more than once when words cross it in two or more direc- S 0 0 S tions. Furthermore, ignore all punctuation and spaces in the S S word list when searching in the grid. For example, "That's all, 0 0 0 S 0 0 0 0 Solutions-Pages 230-238 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 * * 0 * 0 * 0 0 0 0 0 ********000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

82 0 0 S 0 S folks!" would appear in the grid, in some direction, as THATSALLFOLKS. If all that sounds confusing, don't worry-it won't be for long. All it • takes is a little practice. *• You can tackle a word search in many ways. Some solvers start by * searching for the across words. Others look for the long words first or words containing less common letters such as Q, Z, X, or J. Still others • begin at the top of the word list and methodically work their way to the bottom. Whatever works for you is fine. The same holds true for marking the grid. You can loop the hidden words, draw a straight line through them, or circle each individual letter. Whatever you choose, we recommend you cross off the words on * the word list as you find them in the grid. * Each of these puzzles has a different theme and about the same • level of difficulty. All but three of the grids are in the shape of a rect- •* angle with 11 letters across and 15 letters down. (That's useful to know. • If a word or phrase is more than 11 letters long, it is too long to go • across or diagonally and so it must run vertically.) Each word list, ex- cept one, has 20 words or phrases. Each puzzle contains a hidden message! After you've found all the words in a grid, read the unused letters left to right, row by row, from 0 * top to bottom and you'll discover that they spell out a hidden message * relating to the puzzle's theme. (There's no punctuation, so you'll have * to figure that out, too.) Hidden messages contain silly sayings, puns, * riddles, amazing facts, quotations, definitions, or interesting observa- 0 * tions. * Another puzzle-within-a-puzzle may be the theme itself. Some- times the puzzle's title will make the theme obvious. Other times, you'll need to use a little imagination to see what the title means. There are other added twists. A few grids have shapes related to * their themes. One contains numbers. And some puzzles, when com- * pleted, display specially designed loop patterns. * If you draw loops (and most solvers do), make sure the loop contains only the letters in the word you've found and no other letters. ,* Otherwise, you'll end up missing letters from the hidden message.

C HINKY C PINKY C C C 5 A Hinky Pinky is a two-word rhyming phrase in which each word has S S S S the same number of syllables. A simple example is DAN RAN. In this S S 5 S case, just one letter-the first-changes from word to word. We think C that more variety adds more fun, so in the list below, each word in the 5 5 C pair is spelled significantly different from the other. 5 S 5 S S S C Y E K R U T Y K R E I 5 5 S S E I X H L I P E C S S S S S K T OO F E WT S H S 5 S S F N W H A L E J A I L S S S D O G R S P O Q Z N E C

It's up to you to figure out what the S 0 and what they have in com- S 0 20 items hidden in the grid are 0 0 mon. To get you started, we'll tell you the first letter of each 0 0 0 S word or phrase and give you the appropriate number of blanks. 0 0 0 0 For example, if the item were APPLE TREE, the hint would be 0 S 0 0 A 0 0 After you loop an item in the grid, fill in the appropriate 0 0 S 0 blanks below the grid to help you with the word list. If you S 0 S 0 find a word that doesn't fit in any of the blanks, ignore it: it's S 0 0 0 not part of the list. You may also find that more than one word 0 0 S 0 will fit a particular set of blanks. If it doesn't have something 0 0 in common with all the other entries, ignore it, too. To help 0 0 0 0 you, the clue list, when completed, will be in alphabetical 0 0 0 S order. There is just one correct overall puzzle solution. S 0 0 0 When you're done looping, read the unused letters from 0 0 0 0 left to right, row by row, from top to bottom. They will spell 0 0 out a message that reveals the theme. 0 0 0 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 S S S S 0 0 Solutions-Pages 230-238 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * 0 * 0 * 5 0 0 0 0 0 0

"Well, I just got home a few minutes ago. When I came in the door and saw my safe open," she said, pointing to an open wall safe, "Iwent straight to the phone and called you.

So why did you bring me out on such a cold night for this joke of yours, Miss Forkton?" the detective asked.

0 0 0 THREAT 0 0 0 0 It was not the first time Dr. J. L. Quicksolve had received a threat- ening leter. This one, though, seemed a litle more menacing than the usual prank. It contained a small piece of plastic that was a bit of casing from a cylinder of dynamite. Dr. Quicksolve had taken steps to protect himself. He left his VW Beetle parked on the street as a temptation for the would-be bomber. He set up a video camera in his upstairs window to watch his car through the night and keep a taped record. Others were watching too. Sergeant Rebekah Shurshot drove the unmarked police car through the dark neighborhood. Officer Longarm sat beside her. They were going to drive by Dr. Quicksolve's house "just to see if anything looked suspicious." They knew about the threat and were worried about their friend.

He made me lie facedown on the floor. Then he left." "Did he take anything?" Lieutenant Rootumout asked. "I don't know. We don't keep any money here overnight, if that is what you mean. Maybe that is why he killed Stan-because he could not give him any money. The killer would not know our secretary, Miss Supplewrist, takes the day's earnings to the bank after we close. She brings money for petty cash when she comes to work every morning. She has not come in yet today," Mr. Plunger explained, giving his mustache a final tug. "We'll talk to her when she arrives," Lieutenant Rootumout said. "We'll ask if she has any idea why you killed your partner," Dr. Quicksolve added.

MURDER BETWEEN FRIENDS

Dr. Quicksolve suspected Tweeter. Her hearing seemed fine and her music was not loud enough to drown out the sound of gunshots. The hall was quiet and the music did not interfere with their conversation. She may have been angry with Terry for complaining about her music. Many hearing-impaired people would be able to hear gunshots. Miss Blossom's Labrador was apparently a "hearing ear dog" who brought her to the door when Dr. Quicksolve knocked quietly. There is no reason to suspect Miss Blossom. INHERITANCE

Dr.Quicksolve wanted to talk to the cousin from North Dakota because he had already eliminated the niece. The deceased, an only child and a bachelor, could not have a niece. STRIKEOUT

Junior thinks Homer should not be trusted because he sells counterfeit baseball cards. Mickey Mantle played for the Yankees in 1951, so there cannot be a 1953 rookie card. CODDLED COED

Sergeant Shurshot believes Holly took the money. She thinks Holly made up a quick alibi because no one with a cat in the house would leave unwrapped fish on the counter. TELEPHONE RING

He expected to see a phone or credit card number on the pad that would match the number belonging to the man in the jacket. Dr. Quicksolve knew that thieves stand around open phones to listen while people say their card numbers into the phone. Then these criminals use the numbers to make calls or charge things. This time, the crook did not get away.

BEN BOINKT

Dr. Quicksolve doubts their story and wonders if Mr. Boinkt was hit at all. How could the robbers find the safe, open it, and be gone so quickly if Mr. and Mrs. Boinkt were both unconscious? He thinks Ben Boinkt and Glenda Cheatenhart killed Mrs. Boinkt.

* Bobby said they were playing a team from Jackson. That means his was the home 0 * team, which would bat second and wouldn't bat the last inning if they were ahead * after the visitors' last bat. THE REAL MCCOY

* Junior knew Blowhard's story about "the real McCoy" was not true. It is generally 0 * accepted that the expression is connected to an invention that automatically * lubricates moving parts on many kinds of machines. The inventor was an African- * American named Elijah McCoy. 0

* BEN AGAIN

* The fancy shooting and the long fistfight between the two men is hard to believe. * The real problem with the story, though, is the wristwatch. There were wrist- S * watches in the late 1800s, but they were designed only for women! Men used * pocket watches at that time. • JOKERS WILD 0

* Miss Forkton said she had just arrived home, yet her car was frosted over. 0

* THREAT 0

* The driver said they were looking at a map, yet he had not turned on the interior 0 light to read it. * PLUNGER AND SNAKE 0

* Plunger said someone hid behind the door. Dr. Quicksolve had just pulled the * door open to come in. If the door pulled out to open, no one could have been 0 * hiding behind it on the inside.

* SHORTSTOP'S BIKE

* Because there are so many bikes that look alike, the thief would probably think it was safe to ride it to school, believing Shortstop could not identify his bike. * Junior and Shortstop had wisely etched their names inconspicuously under 0 * the crossbars of their bikes where no one would notice, but Junior could feel the * engraving with his fingers.

* CLAUDE VICIOUSLY

* Being a circus performer, Stretch would have known lion tamers use blanks, yet he * said "bullets." He only could have known there had been bullets in the gun if he 0 * was the one who took them out. 0
