Offensive Nonoriddle

"Attack Type" is up and before the day is out too, so that's an improvement on last week. On the flip side, it's got more than one thing in common with last week's 10x10, so I hope I'm not getting into a rut... I always cringe a little inside when the word "type" ends up in the title.

Last week's "Detective Type" garnered five speedy times: Three minutes fifty-four seconds from Jetzm, four minutes twenty-two seconds from david3x3x3, four minutes thirty-five seconds from joefendel, five minutes eleven seconds from catherwood, and twelve minutes eleven seconds from lahosken. Thanks all for sending them in!

I'm considering putting in a hint button, one that randomly reveals one square, and give a time penalty. Even if I did that, I wonder what a fair penalty would be... ten seconds? Fifteen? More? Less? Ah well.

My wife is encouraging me to write a book of nonoriddles. Kind of a daunting thought.

"My wife is encouraging me to write a book of nonoriddles." -- DO IT! -- you could even branch out into larger grids or varient shapes, things that might be easier on paper than your current computerized template. Would you like contributions?
