Featured Puzzle: Apple Tree #1
They say that an apple a day keeps the doctors away. Today, we celebrate another fun internet holiday – Eat a Red Apple Day. The idea is to eat a healthy snack today to offset the sheer abundance of cookies, candies, and other foods we typically indulge in during the holiday season. Yeah, a sweet fruit might not be the best option, but according to the saying, it must be healthy, right?

Featured Puzzle: Chain Sudoku #1
I learned about Chain Sudoku puzzles fairly recently, and thought they’d make for a visually cool presentation. This form was popularized under the trademarked name Strimko, which was invented in 2008 by the Grabarchuk family. They’re similar to Jigsaw Sudoku puzzles, with jumbled regions, except they are not necessarily orthogonally contiguous.
