The Playboy Puzzle Challenge

It's been a challenging century, to say the least. Another lies ahead. What better way to keep your neurons firing than a few classic brainteasers? Puzzle master Jonathan Schmalzbach jumped at the chance to create a crossword based on his favorite magazine, as well as a sexually charged word search. Solve the latter and you'll be on your way to winning a 100-year subscription (details on the next page). We can't say where we'll be a century from now, but we know Hef will still be partying.

Win 100 Years of Playboy

In addition to these brainteasers, our puzzle master created three interactive challenges for Playboy Online. Each person who completes all three will have a chance to win a transferable subscription to Playboy that expires on december 31, 2099. That's the next 1200 issues, featuring 1200 Playmates (give or take a few twins and triplets), 1200 Interviews, 1200 Rabbit Heads concealed on 1200 covers and more than 18,000 letters to the Playboy Advisor. You'll also receive our 50th, 75th, 100th and 125th anniversary issues. Your chances depend on how many entries we receive, but the puzzles are tough, so yours could be the only one. To access the Playboy Online Puzzle Challenge, you'll need a password. To obtain it, find all 44 words and phrases in the search on the previous page, then assemble the unused letters and number. Point your web browser to http://www.playboy.com and prepare to strain your brain. The contest ends with the century, so enter early. The answers to the puzzles on these pages will appear in our February issue.
