ReplyDeleteWelcome to busillis
ReplyDeleteLet me take you through a short introduction.
1.Busillis is a mesh of riddles that you have to unravel in 3 alternate days.
2. You may find multilayered riddles among very easy ones.
3. A total of 16 puzzles in 2 days - what happens on the last day is a mystery!!
4. Its not a solve and forget puzzle. One can say nothing exists for itself in busillis, so it’ll be good for you to remember the answers , you may have to use them later.
5. There is differential scoring for tough and easy ones which would be intimated on the launch of the daily puzzles.
Disclaimer: This was designed by a team of weirdos who are inept at gauging the way people think. So the pendulum can swing either way. Queries for clues or assistance can be posted as comments @ http://parivartan2009.blogspot.com/2009/03/busillis-ultimate-conundrum.html
For any queries
