Being an old-school old
guy (turn 64 this year), I still work the crossword puzzle in the daily newspaper
- surely you've heard of antiquated print media form of which I am the
only house on my street which has it delivered daily. I also like the cryptogram
type word jumble puzzles. Working the
Sudoku puzzles is also a pencil and paper exercise (as opposed
to interactive online) because
of my method of figuring out the numbers. My older sister is a whiz at them, and
she does them on her iPhone. Old habits die hard, as the saying goes. But I digress. In addition to the weekly RF Cafe Engineering
and Science crossword puzzles I create each week, I also like to post crosswords
that appeared in the vintage electronics magazines. This one appeared in the
March 1962
issue of Popular Electronics.
