Q: What was the title and author of this children's book of mazes?

MalcolmI'm trying to find a book I remember from my childhood, of various mazes with different gimmicks and themes. I would have first read it around the mid or late 90's, and it seemed pretty new at the time, so it was probably published around that time or maybe a bit earlier. It was a children's book...

Q: This puzzle is from my college event, and I'm stuck on this level. Can anyone help me?

Rachel Lee The link in this image (https://imgur.com/a/) will lead to a 404 error page, where we need to use the inspect, elements, properties, to find 4 unique numbers in it, and total up both sets of numbers, the cipher, and the number found in properties. The answer will be 6 digits of numbers and is st...

@msh210 fig h (hit, in baseball) T_
with fig = trifle meaning something of little importance
yes indeed

Despite being urged by the completion of two recent sequences, I still can't think of one...
CCCC: Beef with a random guy (5)
@oAlt w/ a gyu*
@msh210 yep!
jeez i step out for a minute and you guys start beefin'
CCCC: I printed oblique bold (8)
@Jafe Lol
08:49
@Sphinx I looked at the answer and that's interesting, I own a different maze book by the same author. I loved mazes more back then

@msh210 INTREPID = IPRINTED*
@Stiv quite so
CCCC: Hesitated at going bust? Think about things differently... (2,7,3,4)
11:24
@oAlt fig=trifle is not in my vocab (or any other cab I possess)
@AncientSwordRage Same. I just saw it on Wiktionary
I know it chiefly from dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/not-care-give-a-fig … which IIRC I first came across in Shakespeare
@AncientSwordRage indeed; thanks
ahh after y'all had explained it I thought it was familiar
> And it gets to the point
You can't stand anymore,
Bring it to us,
We won't give a fig.
We'll tell you
Go stick your head in a pig!
11:31
@Stiv go against the tide anagram
@AncientSwordRage Google seems to be telling me that that's from the Hitchhiker radio fits?
@msh210 yeah it is
I remembered the last line, and have vague memories of 'fig' being what rhymed with 'pig'
12:12
@oAlt Yep!
CCCC: Handle this old sty within the barriers (4)
_hi_+_l_+_t_
@Jafe yep!

Q: Words in my bookshelf

JujustumI like to put words in my bookshelf. This is a very special bookshelf though, because books don't fit in there. My bookshelf has 3 layers, and different words can fit on different layers. Here are some examples: Bottom Layer Middle Layer Top Layer STATE COUNTRY FLAG YELLOW BROWN BLACK ...

Q: Lewis Carroll's Most Difficult Logic Problem

Bob BixlerThis is from "Symbolic Logic, part 1 and part 2", by Lewis Carroll, edited by W.W. Bartley (1977), page 362: (1) A man can always master his father; (2) An inferior of a man's uncle owes that man money; (3) The father of an enemy of a friend of a man owes that man nothing; (4) A man is always per...

16:56
@oAlt Is this RUSTIC (country)? From R (king) + U (you) + STIC(-k) (stay, expecting something in return)
17:11
Why is k something in return?
@Ankoganit Maybe expecting the k in return implies that "stick" is not finished
@Stiv but either way, not the intended answer
Since I'm about to sleep, I guess it won't hurt to give a little nudge toward the answer
@oAlt huh, I guess that could make sense
Since I said I had no clue ideas coming to mind, you can probably guess what I was thinking when I was inspired by Jafe's clue
@Ankoganit My interpretation was 'missing the last letter'
Right
17:41
Oh this is K(king)+U(you)+WAIT (stay, expecting...return)
@oAlt
@Ankoganit Yes that's the correct one
CCCC: When moving north, live next to a heat source (8)
@Ankoganit Wait isn't that a definition in the middle of the clue? I thought that was a big no-no.
@oAlt ^
No, the definition is "country"
17:50
At the end
Was thinking the "stay, expecting... return" was the def for some reason.
Ah nw my annotation wasn't super detailed tbf
A bartender walks into a bar... wait a second, he actually works here. <- Is this a good or a bad joke, and if it is bad (yes it is), why is it bad? Does it have to do with the lack of poonchline?

@Ankoganit fi< reside = next to a heat source
@msh210 that's it!
20:33

CCCC: Out-chide a nun? That's difficult. (9)
