I don't know if anyone does kakuro, but I have to whine.
Where does one go after Black Belt Kakuro?
Mensa K. is on par with Absolutely Nasty 2, but Absolutely Nasty 3 is 🤯. Is Black Belt Second degree more manageable?
Thank you for your patience.

"You rogue,
you trickster,
you crafty-minded cheat,
I can well believe
you broke into a good many
...houses last night
and left more than one man
with only the floor
to sit on..."

"It was Lilith the wife of Adam:
(Sing Eden Bower!)
Not a drop of her blood was human,
But she was made like a soft sweet woman.

Lilith stood on the skirts of Eden;
(Alas the hour!)
She was the first that thence was driven..."

Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

It didn't make it...The luggage leapt from its bed of splinters, gaped briefly in midair, and snapped shut."
