Hey folks, thanks for being patient. We’ll have a new issue mid-May and resume a normal schedule in July.
Because it look so long for puzzles to be created for this issue, the normal test-solving process was greatly appreciated. Both Justin and Lance did a great job doing as much as they could with this issue; any faults, errata, or insolvability rests squarely with me.

n Word GardenOur word garden conceals 10 words in a mystery category. Find words by selecting a starting square and then mov-ing the given direction and distance to get the next letter (e.g., 2L means move 2 squares to the left). Answers never travel off the grid. Some additional letters will be leftover. These will form a clue to help identify the mystery category.

n Jawdroppin’ Challenger
n Logic Puzzle: Museum of Vexillogical OdditiesThe Museum of Vexillogical Oddities has a showcase of ten unusual country flags. The ten flags are for the countries Atlantis, Blefescu, Camelot, Derkaderkastan, El Dorado, Fredonia, Genovia, Hyrule, Itchyland and Jerktopia. Each flag consists of either 3 horizontal stripes or 3 vertical strips, 1 to 5 stars, and an animal emblem. Each flag uses three of five possible colors (black, blue, green, red, and yellow). Using the clues below, can you reconstruct the flags?
1. Five flags have horizontal stripes; the other five have vertical
stripes. Flags have 1 to 5 stars; there are exactly two flags with
any particular number of stars. No two flags use the same three
colors.
2. The flags with red in them are: the dart-shaped flag, a flag with
horizontal stripes, a flag with exactly the same number of stars
as the flag with the markhor emblem, Atlantis’s flag, a flag with
fewer stars than Genovia’s flag, and a flag with exactly one more
or one fewer stars than the flag with the ocelot emblem.
3. The flags with blue in them are: a horizontal-striped flag with 5
stars, Fredonia’s flag (which is not a triangular flag), a flag with
exactly 2 stars, either the diamond-shaped or rhombus-shaped
flag, a flag with exactly 1 fewer stars than Blefescu’s flag, and a
flag with the same number of sides as El Dorado’s flag.
4. The flags with green in them are: a horizontal-striped flag with 5
stars, the diamond-shaped flag, Jerktopia’s flag, the flag with the
markhor emblem, a flag with 3 stars, and Blefescu’s flag.
5. The flags with yellow in them are: the equilateral triangle-
shaped flag, the flag with a markhor emblem, the circle-shaped
flag, a flag with exactly 1 star, a flag with exactly 4 stars, and
Derkaderkastan’s flag.
6. The two flags with exactly 4 stars are the diamond-shaped flag
and the flag with a narwhal (which does not have green).
7. The flag with the quetzal emblem has an odd number of stars or
odd number of sides, or both.
8. Neither flag with 5 stars has black. Neither does Fredonia’s.
Country Shape Stripes Stars Emblem Colors
.
9. The flags with black in them are: the isosceles triangle-shaped
flag, Camelot’s flag (which has either the saiga emblem or
the quetzal emblem), a flag with exactly one star more than
Itchyland’s flag, the flag with a kinkajou emblem, a flag with
horizontal stripes, and a flag with fewer stars than the flag with a
raccoon emblem.
10. The five flags with horizontal stripes are: Fredonia’s flag, the
rhombus-shaped flag, the flag with a panda, a flag with blue and
green, and a flag with 5 stars.
11. The five flags with vertical stripes are: Hyrule’s flag, the
trapezoid-shaped flag, the flag with a tanuki, a flag with blue and
green, and a flag with 1 star.
12. The lamprey emblem is on a triangular flag, and has red.
13. The flags that are triangular (isosceles, scalene, and equilateral)
are Jerktopia’s flag, a flag with yellow and black, and a flag with 5
stars. Only one of these flags has horizontal stripes.
14. The circular flag and oval flag both have vertical stripes; one has
3 more stars than the other.
15. No two flags with horizontal stripes have the same number of
stars. No two flags with vertical stripes have the same number of
stars.
16. The circular flag has an odd number of stars.
17. Exactly two flags with vertical stripes have green, but neither has
yellow in them.
18. The flag with a tanuki emblem does not have yellow.
19. Both flags with exactly 2 stars have the same number of sides.

The Panda Bearly Mobile AppEverybody’s got a mobile app these days, except our wonderful publication here. We tried some time back to create a mobile app, but found it difficult to motivate interest, create a functional design, and really make it truly mobile. (One reviewer called our beta version a “panda barely mobile app”, which was sadly accurate.) In the end, there was one thing truly that doomed our mobile app. What was it?
Note: Not all of the boxes in the Panda Bearly Mobile App Offerings grid will be used.

In both rounds, each line is a Vigenere cipher. The first round consists of various movie, TV, and videogame quotes, albeit with a random-seven letter word at the end. The key for each quote is its speaker. (Any numbers have been spelled out.)
