If I use your comment in the write-up, I will attribute it to your screen name. If you would like me to use your real name instead, please put it in the comment box.

UPDATE: An additional 16 (!) solvers found the answer to the mega-meta last month, and their scores have been updated on the Leaderboard. Congratulations! There are still lots of bonus points available for solvers who get the mega-meta before the final puzzle.

As a reminder, the 2014 contest features a mega-meta, hidden in the 12 monthly puzzles. You can enter your solution to the mega-meta in the box at the right. Solvers who send in the correct answer to the mega-meta before the final puzzle get lots of bonus points, as explained in the Contest Rules. Because the reward is so large for getting the mega-meta before the final puzzle, there may be some tricks designed to throw you off the track. Consider yourself warned.

Thanks for playing!
