Online Puzzle Championship
The Riddler goes....."We're Five Little Items of an Everyday Sort. You'll find us all in a Tennis Court."
Batman says “vowels “with the serious look on his face.
And you say with a sigh ..."Is that not too obvious??? "
Do your grey cells complain of incessant boredom from puzzles ludicrously claimed to puzzle you?? Tired of the same old Sudoku, blunt math and maze puzzles??
