    AA> Hi All...   
      
      
    AA> The puzzle consists of a 100-page prose narrative with its pages arranged   
    AA> in the wrong order. [...] To solve the puzzle, the reader must determine   
    AA> the correct order of the pages and also the names of the murderers and   
    AA> victims within the story. The story's text includes a large number of   
    AA> quotations, references, puns, Spoonerisms and other word games. The pages   
    AA> can be arranged in 9.33?10157 (factorial of 100) possible combinations,   
    AA> but there is only one correct order. The solution to the puzzle has never   
    AA> been made public.

    AA> Caution: NOT for ebook readers!  ;)  The physical format is the ONLY way   
    AA> to go for this challenge..  and you could even be tempted to rip out the   
    AA> pages to but the story in chronological order.   
      
    Definitely not for me. I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing.
