Talk:Enigma (New Scientist)

I think the example is essential to explain what kind of puzzles are set. I have paraphrased with care to avoid copyright issues. I would love to know how to solve the puzzle. PeterGrecian 12:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

I object the the deletion of the article. The subject is notable since it is widely published. The content is encyclopedic because it illustrates what a mathematical puzzle or game is. It does not infringe copyright because it is a paraphrase. I am interested in what other people think however. PeterGrecian 13:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter - I don't think this article should be deleted, and I was happy to see you remove the prod tag. It would be good to see a bit more information in the article though - for example, how long has the column been published (I would guess over 20 years from the numbering) ? what is the lead time between publishing a puzzle and publishing its answer ? are there any prizes ? is a list of "winners" published ?

 * I don't find this notable, and propose to merge to the article on New Scientist. If there is objection to that, I shall put it up to AfD and see what happens. Comments? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merged. If anyone finds the information Gandalf suggests (if Enigmata are numbered, it should be relatively easy to find the first) it can go there. No list of winners was published when I last read the magazine. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
