Doug Gardner (center) and the Friends of the Library throw a great Puzzle Festival
On Saturday, Nov. 5, over 65 people attended the first Arlington Puzzle Festival at the Central Library, to challenge their puzzle solving skills against each other and the clock.
The Crossword Challenge was won by Mike Wilhelm, with Elsa Angrist coming in second, and Peter Braxton in third. See the full results (pdf).
The Sudoku Challenge winner was David Scherzinger, with Kathryn Nolan in second and Paul Werbos in third. See the full results (pdf).
Huge thanks go out to Doug Gardner, the Friends of the Library and everyone who volunteered all day at the Festival - you took a cool idea and made it a fantastic reality.
