SOLVED

—Just happened to casually flip through my monthly issue of WIRED (the May ‘09 issue with J.J. Abrams as guest editor) after work yesterday when I spotted the tiny sentence “For example, spotting and decoding one of 15 hidden clues in this issue will make finding the rest—and solving the overall mystery—a bit easier.”  A hidden puzzle?  Just like the old days and GAMES magazine!  Well, I couldn’t put it down after that.  Soon I was elbow-deep in ASCII codes, dvorak keyboards, morse code, semaphore, and a dozen other cryptographic techniques.  It took a while, but I finally figured out the puzzle.  If you’re looking for a distraction for a few days of solid puzzle work (and Wikipedia searches for how to decode an electrician’s twisted-pair wire code), pick up this month’s issue.

20 HOURS TO SPARE

—Here’s to hoping NBC’s Edit 10 doesn’t find any technical glitches in the QC.  If all goes well, that’s a wrap!
