Hi Melina

I find this all very exciting!

You all have given me the push that I needed to do something about the excess difficulty of the riddles (a common problem with inexperienced puzzle setters).
And you are right ... given that the riddles make use of play on words, it will indeed be a fine challenge.
I will be delighted to work with you.

You certainly have my permission to translate Turtles Speak Mathematics. I look forward to hearing of your efforts.

I would like to know more about you. Do you have a short biography ... or can you tell me a little about yourself.
It has occurred to me that my wife (Katrina Proust) and I would enjoy a visit to your team at some stage. Not sure when we could do it, but it would undoubtedly be fun.

Best wishes
Barry

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
