Audiopuzzle , anyone?

By DAVID FAUCHEUX

On Sunday, July 29, I received an interesting email from a Donna August. She had this to say:
Hello Mr. Faucheux,

I understand from various web postings that you enjoy audio-oriented content, and I would like to introduce you to a new audiobook genre. We have created what we believe is the first Audiopuzzle game--a collection of 40 brain teasers, logic puzzles, and lateral thinking puzzles that are presented in an audio format. Some of the puzzles cannot be presented in print because they include audio sound effects. Others are variations on what you might find in printed puzzle books, but challenge the listener to visualize what is being described--an alternative mental workout. I have posted three audioclip samples from our Audiopuzzle game on our website, which is www.audiopuzzles.com .

I thought it was a clever idea and nice to get a visitor with such a unique product. I hope everyone can take a moment to visit the site and check out the samples. This book would make a cool gift for a blind person as we don't always get included in puzzles. Puzzles are supposed to keep our brains young, too!

Now if only someone would publish all the 4x4 Sudoku puzzles in Braille and invent a magnetic board with number tiles for us to play the 9x9 puzzles, too. Are you listening National Braille Press?

IMAGINE That!
