Some holiday fun: Puzzle supplementary material

(Note: This makes sense only after you’ve gone through the other puzzles.)

In case my friend got stuck, she could call me and ask for a hint. The original plan was that I would charge her a dare in order to get a hint, but it turns out I was too nice a guy to make her do any of the following things, but here’s the list anyway:

  • Scream “I love you, Seattle!” at a street corner
  • Skip across the street
  • Walk sideways
  • Caress a lamppost
  • Dance
  • Sing the national anthem (any country) [typo fixed 7/6]
  • Ask for directions to where you are
  • Recite six lines from a favorite book or poem
  • Wave and shout hello to a traffic light

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
