In a Puzzling State Review

Puzzle	In a Puzzling State
Artist	Uncredited
Type	Teaser
Catalog Picture

This puzzle was apparently originally designed in 1975 and the artwork is uncredited. (Anybody at Stave know who did the work?). While classified as a teaser puzzle, this quite honestly could please a traditional puzzle lover and might disappoint a teaser lover since everything goes together as a traditional puzzle.

For me, it was wonderful to have the opportunity to puzzle this one. Lots of fun state trivia and if you have/had young kids around it could be a great learning experience. In that sense, I very much liked the educational aspect and think this could be an excellent classroom addition (How about licensing the image for laser-cutting this one so schools could afford it? [see Puzzle Cut with a Frickin' Laser].)

And if you are stuck there's always help a Google search away? (Unlike the Stave gang, no M&M bribes demanded for help ;)

Anyhow, a nice puzzle, not one I would have bought, but I think a good one to consider if you (a) like traditionals, (b) want to get some young'ens involved in puzzling or (c) just love Americana.
