- Email us with the first and last name of the answer, along with your reasoning (answers arrived at via luck or the wrong reasoning, even if correct, count for participation credit only). And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and
- Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt. I may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; I may confirm correct answers there.
You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. Solution will be posted tomorrow. Good luck!

is this the longest a puzzle has gone before an answer has been sent?
no need to issue any participation points. I am just a casual observer
Oops, forgot it was a puzzle day and have to go to work now. I'll have to take a look tonight.
I am so close, but no cigar!
Ubragg luring us into a false sense of security.
Still haven't gotten free to take a look. I'm on extra good behavior with this being a short week.
@EK - I think I got something. Do you think you can tell me if I'm on the right track?
My morning meeting was canceled, so I could not resist... Answer sent!
See?! Told ya.
Meanwhile, after finding half the words, I have a headache.
Sorry Josh, if it is any consolation, I kinda regret that first post. :)
Just realized that clicking the map and printing it 1)is possible and 2) might be the better way to go....
Answer sent
Hopefully I'll find time to work on this today.

Soooo cloooose.
Progress sent.
Answer sent.
so, i sent an answer, which was obviously not correct... but i think i am on to something... at least i think so. I may have to go with the "I got this one right because that is the answer it should be" answer.
Answer sent!
Sorry folks, have been in meetings all day. Am now reading through comments and will check email soon.
Sure MLASF, will look through any progress reports...
Just zipped through the email backlog, we have four correct answers so far:
1. UBragg
2. Golem
3. Jason
4. Mr F
Well done folks!
Dusto, I like your answer better. So I now decree that all the others are wrong and Dusto so far is the only correct answer:
1. Dusto Magnifico
(just kidding)
Grrr...I'm right on the edge and it's killing me!
Wow, that last part took me forever. Answer sent!
ok, so I think I have a better (more logical) answer sent in. Though I know it is somehow wrong.
So angry right now.
Same here Josh. And I have a feeling I'm going to be even more angry tomorrow when I see the solution with the one mini step I'm missing.
Yes, Greg Finley in:
1. UBragg
2. Golem
3. Jason
4. Mr F
5. Greg Finley
I may be in the same position as others: can't quite finish the first stage.

OK, now I've got the big clue, but can't find the right place.
Answer sent!
GOD DAMMIT!!!!
GODS DAMNIT OLD MAN!
I echo Josh S, Mr. F, and MLASF in submitting my answer as well...
I'm still stuck on the last step, though I know exactly what form it should take.
3 or 4 more correct answers which I will list when I get home in an hour or so...
Okay, today I passed my Apple Certified System Administrator 10.6 Exam. How hard can an off day puzzle be? Let's see...
hmm...

Dammit.

This is driving me nuts. Ten people got it, so it must be staring me in the face. But I've tried every possible interpretation of the clue I can think of, and then 25. Clueless.
Answer sent.
This just in: business trips are not conducive to off-day puzzle solving.

Ok I'm off to sleep...keep at it, will check email in the morning.
Finding all the words actually made my vision worse.
Still working. . .and waiting for a clue.
Berko, I'll say this: I found the clue to be misleading (after the fact). I'm going to wait for the official explanation before filing an official complaint with the PCS.
(I'm kidding, EK.)
Thanks, Josh. I've tried about 53 ways of reading that clue, parsing it every which way trying to be as dumb and literal as I can, but clearly not the correct way. I know I have the clue right.
So I put the puzzle down for 5 min., and the earth starts shaking.
Coincidence? Yes.
