Occasionally, I make a goof in one of my puzzles — yep, it happens. Fortunately, one of my wonderful eagle-eyed solvers will usually catch it and let me know. 

 

Any time an error is brought to my attention I correct it as soon as I can, and then post the correction here.

 

Thank you for keeping me on my toes! I aim to keep my books as error-free as possible, so please don't hesitate to let me know any time you catch a mistake.  :)
