It's summer in the strange schedule of university, so you know what that means: it's time for another experimental mini! Or should I say... twelve minis? This is an unfortunate departure from the usual theme of this blog-- my apologies, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. I try to get my non-science puzzles published in outlets where possible, but I truly had no idea where to publish this.
This puzzle, or I guess these puzzles, are best done on paper, but if you don't have access to a printer, I recommend writing the grids down on paper once you've filled them. Finding someone else to do this with is not optional, though. Make a friend.
One last administrative thing: My subscriber emails haven't been working for the last few months, and I'm trying to fix it. Please let me know if you have signed up for email updates but did not receive an email about this puzzle.

For link about $40 more than the link only other MK1 available on link the Timex website, I think the coloring, included straps, and connection to Adsum are all pluses that add to this MK1's appeal without undermining its simplicity and subtlety.
