Zebraboy: Labor Day Extravaganza

Elsewhere, zebraboy writes:

Hi folks,

For whoever on this list might be interested, I'll be posting my annual set of Labor Day puzzles on Saturday Sept. 3rd. 2:00 Eastern at www.markhalpin.com/puzzles/puzzles.html, this year called "Let's Get Away From the City". Some people enjoy doing these solo, and some prefer doing them with a team, since they tend to be on the tougher side. Also, while racing is encouraged via a Leaderboard, leisurely solving is also encouraged by awarding a prize to a random solver from anyone who submits a solution within two weeks, when hints and solutions are posted. Hope many of you play!

Eric warns: "I think it's safe to say, in neither case will you want to use a pen."
