- What's your favorite puzzle and why?
- I love the Traditionals. It's so much fun to see what clever things the cutter has done with the silhouettes. And that Ah Ha! moment when you find the piece you've been searching for is great. Traditionals are relaxing and fun.
- Meet other Puzzle Nuts near you by telling us what town and state you're in.
- I live in Thetford, Vt, about a 15 minute drive from the Stave Puzzle shop.
- Which puzzles are on your wish list?
- Anything by James Christenson or Scott Gustafson. I love their wit and whimsy.
- When and where do you puzzle?
- My husband is a puzzle fanatic so we almost always have a puzzle on the table in the library/puzzle room. If I had my way it would be my scrapbooking room but I'm not getting my way on that one! I get to puzzle are work sometimes, too.
- What got you into Stave Puzzles?
- I worked with someone who's mom worked at Stave and he suggested I apply here. I had never heard of the company nor did I cut puzzles but it sure sounded fun! 20+ years later I'm still here!
- Tips for solving Stave Puzzles: Want to share?
- Think outside the box! Expect the unexpected!
- About me: Interests, fave books and music etc
- Married to a keeper, have one son, 18, and a daughter, 16. Help! These teenage years are rough!

what happens in vegas
Hello fellow Puzzlenuts,
Jennifer from Stave, here. I'm wondering if any of you wild and crazy folks out there can help me out. I'm not sure where the best place is to post this so I'll try it here. Gee, it's not really puzzle related so maybe I shouldn't even be putting it on the site. I am going to be starting my own blog on our site but it's not quite ready yet so I can't do it there. Here's what I need... I'm going to Vegas in late October/early November with 2 girlfriends and we are trying… Continue

I'm glad to be here. Thanks for the welcome.

As for Larson, I love the wacky humor, too. His stuff could always make me laugh. Calvin and Hobbes is another comic that I find funny but in a different way.
Yes, Gary Larson was not only wildly creative, he was also very funny, both in his captions and his images (especially the monsters). His wackiness is the type of wackiness I like about the Stave Teaser puzzles I've acquired.
BTW, it appears that you work at Stave. I actually toured the facility about a month ago and I might even have chatted with you, depending on what you do. I have a question: why wasn't I allowed to enter the cutting room?

You asked about armchair treasure hunts. That's where you do a treasure hunt from home and try to determine the location of a prize. But you don't have to buy a shovel and a flashlight and then go digging up the countryside. You just post your solution online (or mail it in). I guess it can also refer to a real treasure hunt where there is a real prize you have to go get, but you have no intention of ever going to get it - you just enjoy trying to figure it out and collaborating with others, regardless of who ultimately does the digging. See the free "Menagerie" puzzle at www.dillonwaugh.com for a good example. There's an entire online community trying to find that prize. Goofy stuff to be sure.

Thank you for reading my PuzzleNut! I will be adding some exciting news to my page this month. I'm glad you shared the story about your father with me. I have lived with brain trama all my life, and it is very different from having to adjust to a brain tumor when an adult, because a person has to learn a new way of living. I am sure your father can agree with me, that a family's love and support is the very best medicine. A support group to share stories with is also great. I am a member of The Brad Kaminsky Foundation For BrainTumor Research, TBKF.org. I am honored to speak in behalf of brain tumor warriors. I will email you with personal stories that have helped mold me into the proud survivor I am today. (; -)

I was wondering if you could help me. I emailed to info@stave.com on Monday and I haven't heard back yet-I know you guys are so busy with this past weekend and the contest too-I have a question about the first challenge of "Nessie"-(I know you work there and I AM sorry to ask this of you)-I guess that my 'puzzle-junkie' is coming through-I'd like to work the puzzle but I AM confused on what the challenge itself is. OK, now, if you can help me, I was wondering if there was an email address that I could send my solution to(I am not sure it IS a solution, or if I've puzzled myself into a corner-haha)-the reason I'd like to email you is that I do NOT want it published for everyone to see in case someone else is working 'Nessie'-I don't want to ruin it for them. I will send you the same email I sent to info@stave. I appreciate your time and help-I really do! Thanks again-JESS
My new friend Ted informed me that only 41 of the intended 50 Treasure Islands were made as Andrea left Stave before the series was complete and more can't be made as Andrea has the plans but Stave owns the copyright. I don't know if it's possible or for that matter legal, but if Stave want to borrow the puzzle to finish the series they would be welcome. As good luck would have it, we finished the puzzle almost as soon as we received it and identified THE key within the required timeframe to claim the treasure chest. We still have the treasure map as well.

How and to where should I address the pieces when I send them back?
The main puzzle is now back in its box :)
Cheers,
Noel
