Time for a spooky challenge
By Brian Clegg
I’ve always enjoyed producing twisty puzzles (hence my book of these, Conundrum). As we’re nearing Halloween I’ve come up with a Conundrum bonus puzzle to stretch your brain in a suitably spooky fashion. Here’s the challenge:
Why is Ms Lavenza’s husband’s son helped out by the same person as Ms Westenra’s killer, who then turns up where unspeakable horrors from outer space paralyse the living and resurrect the dead?
Full mental marks if you can answer (in full) without any searching online/use of AI.
You are welcome to provide your solution at the Conundrum Bonus Puzzle Page – all full correct entries by Halloween get you a place on the Bonus Puzzle hall of fame.
These articles will always be free – but if you’d like to support my online work, consider buying a virtual coffee or taking out a membership:
