Puzzling Digits

By Anya Linley

When planning for our wedding, Ed and I wanted to do something a little different. What could we add to our wedding that hadn’t been done before a million times over? Then it struck us. We’ll force our guests to earn their wedding favours by solving a series of puzzles!

At our reception, we gave each table a locked wooden box and a series of puzzle cards. The guests at each table had to work together to solve the puzzles which would, in turn, open the combination padlocks on the box and allow access to the favours. This ingenious idea acted as a table conversation piece, an ice-breaker, evening entertainment and a place to hold the wedding favours. What more could anyone ask for?

This book is a collection of all 64 puzzle cards from our wedding. Each puzzle is entirely original, having been thought up by us in the long months before the big day and the answer to each is a single digit number.

To my wonderful husband who inspires me every day and who helped me to write this book.

Introduction

When planning for our wedding, Ed and I wanted to do something a little different. Sure, a Neopagan handfasting on a farm is rather different in itself but what about the personal touch? What could we add to our wedding that hadn’t been done before a million times over? Then it struck us. We’ll force our guests to earn their wedding favours by solving a series of puzzles!

At our reception, we gave each table a locked wooden box and a series of puzzle cards. The guests at each table had to work together to solve the puzzles which would, in turn, open the combination padlocks on the box and allow access to the favours. This ingenious idea acted as a table conversation piece, an ice-breaker, evening entertainment and a place to hold the wedding favours. What more could anyone ask for?

Needless to say, the puzzle boxes went down a storm. People talked, mead was drunk and, eventually, all the boxes were opened.
