This is a real tourney report book?...

I've recently been finding errors in Maro's old puzzling book...

I just heard that the "Wakefield" article is a hoax! I'm gonna go back to star city and check it out.

I still like the G/W deck idea...

I heard from Wakefield himself that the article had to be by Mike Flores.

 

[train]

What did he think of it?

 

[Spiderman]

That is all pretty funny.

You're using the old rules under which it was written, right? Not the 6th ed./stack rules?

 

[train]

Yeah - using the old rules, there's another solution to a puzzle...

At first I was using the stack rules, then I slapped myself for doing so...

 

[Spiderman]

But another solution isn't an error, is it?

 

[train]

Well not in certain context - but it means that the statement of there only being one solution to a puzzle is in error...



"It takes the 'right and wrong', and makes it 'right, right, and wrong'..."

 

[Spiderman]

Oh, I didn't know that statement was there...

 

[train]

Yeah - he mentions how he had another Magic guru - for lack of better terms - look through them all to make sure there was only one solution...

I have a copy of Tournament Reports. It's really good. The best tournament reports I have ever read--I've reread the book three or four times, even after I stopped playing Magic regularly.
