KRISS KROSS

This puzzle has no clues in the conventional sense. Instead, every different number printed in the main grid represents a different letter (with the same number always representing the same letter, of course). For example, if 7 turns out to be a ‘V’, you can write in V wherever a square contains 7. We have completed a very small part of the puzzle to give you a start, but the rest is up to you.

ICHIBAN SUDOKU

Fill the grid so that each block adds up to the total in the box above or to the left of it. You can only use the digits 1-9 and you must not use the same digit twice in a block. (The same digit may occur more than once in a row or column, but it must be in a separate block.)

KAKURO

The normal rules of Sudoku apply. In addition, the digits in each inner shape (marked by dots) must add up to the number in the top corner box. Look for sum boxes with very high and very low totals. They are likely to provide a limited choice of contents.

AUSTRALIA’S INTERNATIONAL ASTROLOGER

Astrologer Tanya Obreza says many people have the wrong idea about her profession - and her aim is to break down the mystique surrounding astrology and other esoteric subjects.

The first question she’s often asked is “do you really believe in astrology?” Her answer? “No - I

don’t! That’s because astrology isn’t a religion or faith. Planets are real - they’re up there - so you don’t have to “believe” in them! But I have studied and practised the subject for over 20 years, and have continued to find astrology to be a rewarding and valuable tool for self-awareness and understanding. For the astrologer, the proof that astrology works lies in constant application and mostly,

the accuracy of my work is not confirmed by myself...but feedback from my clients.

I prefer to present the client with a set of possibilities. It is then up to the individual to make the best of them. When analysing a chart specifically for character analysis, I aim to highlight the client’s strengths and weaknesses, and if possible show how those strengths can be

MoXWord is a tiny Java midlet that can run on any Java-enabled mobile phone. Each MoxWord midlet comes with a set of crosswords.

The crosswords are packaged inside the midlet Volume. Your readers can load MoXWord onto their phones by downloading the file from your website, or buying your publication to obtain the link and start playing. When they have completed one Volume, they simply download the next Volume the following week. The publication would make a slight change to the password weekly so the reader has to retrieve this information from the newspaper or website.

MoXWord files will be delivered to your publication via the FTP Server (each Volume is a .jar file and a .jad file packaged in a zip file). The newspaper manages delivery of MoXWord to their readers, as each media outlet will have their preferred way of doing this. The midlet is generally no bigger than 80k, and can be delivered direct to readers’ phones via Premium SMS, or via a web link sent to readers by e-mail or SMS.

MoXWord is available in three different weekly Volumes. You can choose from: Pack 1 : 7 Quick Breaks Pack 2 : 3 Quick Breaks Pack 3 : 1 Quick BreakThe Connoisseur and Gourmet crosswords are also available on request.
