Wow Cam,
5 minutes behind me.
Very nice! This is a puzzle of my creation, I design them when we do our treasure hunts. Is this type of puzzle something that would be worth posting on occasion?

Matt, of course it's nice to have puzzles posted. But I don't think it's OK to be using this site to advertise your fee based one. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if the boot was on the other foot.
Personally I didn't like the puzzle. I prefer puzzles that have elegant solutions, and so they tend to be mathematical ones. Simply Googling for ZIP codes doesn't do it for me. I only did it because when it was first posted, it contained blatant advertising, so I thought I'd knock out the answer to reduce the likelihood of anyone visiting your site looking for said.
By all means post. I'm not the arbiter of standards (although I do hint at them), I'm just a visitor myself.
Matt. If you make a business arrangement with Rajesh, that's OK. I'll still visit if the site doesn't become too commercialised.
I know Rajesh does monitor the postings, so don't be surprised if he deletes yours. But you may slip through as Zaux has been posting in turbo-nutter mode for quite a while.
