Play the Puzzle

In the 24-hour period of April Fool’s Day, 2003, there were 1,762 unique vistors who eyed the opening page, 407 people who tackled the close-up clues, 144 people who viewed all seven print pages, and 19 people who sent in the correct answer.

7 people successfully solved the map and successfully placed all the correct words in the correct places but were stumped by the final “ah-ha!” They simply wrote in to say “I hate you.”
