I am always happy when I have the time and patience to dedicate when cnmne comes out with one of these. They are pretty hard. I have to work at them for a long time. But the rewards are great. I got a good laugh out of the eight wives. I got a laugh and a big groan out of the bovines. That was clever and funny. The answers are much more effective and entertaining when I discover them than when I just give up and read them.
These may not be for everyone, but if you have not taken the time to work some of these, I highly recommend doing so.
Keep going cnmne, you insane teaser making machine!
