Dyane

2006-07-16
“The Dyane 6 does 70 miles an hour for as long as you want. An oil cooler looks after the life of her engine.”.

“No water pump, no head gaskets, no pipes, no distributor. And you never need anti-freeze because she’s air cooled.”.

“You keep Dyane outside. You don’t need a garage, and Dyane is ready to go all times in all weather.”.

“You won’t find any useless gadgets or switches on Dyane, but you will find all essential controls carefully placed and well within reach.”.

“This is no minicar. There’s plenty of room inside.
Remember, too, that the Dyane Weekend has a folding sunroof.”.

“If you happen to see another Dyane riding over pavé, watch her closely: it’s quite spectacular.”.

Kakuro

2006-07-12

“It’s called Cross Sums in the USA, Kakuro in the UK, and Kakro in Japan.”.
(from kakuropuzzle.com)

“Works as crosswords, but the givens are substituted with sums.
You can use numbers from 1 to 9.”.
(Vegard Hanssen from menneske.no)

Kakuro has clues both across and down.
When you put numbers in the vacant squares, the sum must equal the given clues.
Just like a sudoku, you cannot have the same number in a row or column.”.
