- Encountered:
- My sadistic spouse, the Mistress Robin, for Christmas gave poor little old OCD me a daily calendar of puzzles, well knowing that I could not let them go unsolved, thus driving me stark raving mad. Fortunately most of the puzzles are reasonably simple. The one for April 6th was a puzzle of word fragments that resulted in 20 words with a sports theme. I was down to par and kour, either order did not make sense to me so I peeked at the answer. I then had to look up the definition of parkour. I have learned something new, I can go home now?
