My mom and I especially love doing his "Rows Garden" puzzles. I also once had a book of crosswords written by four different Patricks, Berry being one of them. I like his work. I actually wish I could get my cryptic crosswords published, just like the other PB's work.patjberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593445116920910239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-5508520245820873302015-07-23T18:09:11.870-07:002015-07-23T18:09:11.870-07:00My clue - I solved at noon today without help from...My clue - I solved at noon today without help from mom or dad.

The next three are 89, 97 and 102. When I posted to last week's thread, that this was a puzzle, “...of biblical proportions,” I was thinking of the phrase, “...the first shall be last.” Being, a follower of, “the older monotheistic religion.” I wasn't quite sure where the phrase would be found so I Googled it and found it in Matthew 19:30 (But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first) and in Matthew 20:16 (So the last shall be first, and the first last).<br /><br />Enya_and_Weird_Al fan, caught my meaning and asked if I was referring to verses in Isaiah or Revelation. I hadn't been, but the question made me do some more reading. The phrase also appears in Mark 10:31 and Luke 13:30. <br /><br />Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?SuperZeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024610786525654860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-80920052322668606352015-07-23T15:49:24.650-07:002015-07-23T15:49:24.650-07:00Are you (related to) the Patrick Berry who has puz...Are you (related to) the Patrick Berry who has puzzles in the Sunday New York Times?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267575912220886002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-61356211682262751162015-07-23T15:46:37.592-07:002015-07-23T15:46:37.592-07:00No wonder Alabama was mentioned!
