Hello puzzlers and PuzzleNationers!

I hope you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend, chock full of friends, family, and frivolity.

I for one am happy to be back to work, because it’s time to announce the winners of our PuzzleNation Community Contest Giveaway!

In celebration of the one-year anniversary of the PuzzleNation Blog, we wanted to give back to the community that’s been so good to us, so we’ve been keeping track of every like, comment, share, retweet, and gold star from members of the puzzle community for the last two weeks.

All those names were collected and tossed into our ceremonial drawing cup:

(It’s the most ceremonial thing we could find. We’ll figure out something shinier next time.)

And now, it’s time to swirl it around and blindly draw the name of our first winner, who’ll be receiving Volume 1 of our Classic Word Search iBook!

Let’s see who it is!

Oh, nice try, Fred!

(Fred recently signed on as Director of Digital Games here at PuzzleNation, and he’s obviously trying to pull a fast one on us by slipping his name into the proverbial hat. No dice, Fred! You’ll have to be craftier than that to outwit our wily PuzzleNation family!)

Okay, without further ado or attempted chicanery, let’s draw the names of our three Classic Word Search iBook winners!

Congratulations Iveliss, Matt, and Emmy! Keep your eyes peeled for a Facebook message regarding your prize!

And a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has followed and supported us over the last year. It’s a real treat to create puzzles for you and interact with you. You truly make the puzzle community the best around!

Okay! I promised you answers to Tuesday’s Riddle Me This riddles, so here we go!

A man lay dead on the floor, fifty-three bicycles on his back. What happened?

The man cheated at cards and was punished accordingly. (Bicycle being a famous brand of playing cards. Though I do enjoy imagining a brawl at a bicycle shop gone hilariously, disastrously wrong.)

Bob walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The bartender pulled out a gun and pointed it at Bob’s face. A few seconds later, Bob said, “Thank you” and walked out. What happened?

Bob had the hiccups, and the bartender scared them away. (Either that or Bob’s a hydroholic and the bartender is preventing him from indulging and getting water-drunk.)

Rhonda lay facedown in the middle of the desert. On her back was something that could have saved her life. What is it?

A parachute. (Though my friend argues that Rhonda is a camel, and the water in her hump could have saved her. It does beg the question of why Rhonda was skydiving in the desert, though.)

Frank did not want to go home because of what the masked man held in his hand. What is the masked man holding?

The masked man is holding a baseball. He’s the catcher.

Joe was dead. Across his back was an iron bar. In front of him was some food. What happened?

Unfortunately, Joe was a mouse caught in a mousetrap.
