        I was dating a woman in 1995 whose screen name was Tiki. While she probably meant the hawaiian totem doll, I thought of Rikki Tikki Tavi. My screen name was either going to be Rikki or Tavi, and I chose the more unusual. In subsequent years, somebody else started using Tavi on some sites, so I added 5280 (For my home city of Denver, the mile high city).

                  Mine's pretty simple. Peg x Peg is peg squared. Square peg, round hole. It's my life, not my name.

                      I've always wondered . . . and now I know!

                        Enoch the Red is an enigmatic character in Neal Stephenson's "Baroque Cycle" and "Cryptonomicon". He is, unlike me, also a master of cryptography. I rarely log in, because I need hints sometimes. I also usually listen to the radio or watch TV while I solve. I recommend NPR, baseball, or nature shows. Doesn't help my times any! I love all your comments...probably that's why I "cheat"...so I get to read them.

                          all that matters is that we have some fun while we're here!
                          I also watch TV or listen to NPR while solving, so I'm happy to learn I'm not alone.
