I stumbled across a couple of on-line puzzle pages that I thought might
be of interest, and seemed worth sharing...

This one might be fun for any kids in your family:

And this one might offer adults a challenge or two:

Enjoy!

These puzzles are fascinating. Couldn't get to the last level in the
last one though. Mayhap some brushing up on Africa is in order. Sent
them to friends and family. Thanks.

As things seem to be going, I figure that in 400 weeks I won't be able
to find North America. :-b

Anyway, I think it's more interesting than playing spider.

By overlapping most of the elements, I've made a map of Britain... sort of.
There's a Great Lake in Portsmouth, though and everyone in London now says
"Howdy" and "Y'all.."

Do I win a prize?
