Who's Unpatriotic? HOW TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE: Print this page. Then guess as many answers as you can, writing the letters above the numbers. Then transfer each letter to the puzzle grid cell which has that number. Once you get a few, you can then guess the words in the grid, and transfer those letters to the answers. Working back and forth like this the quote is gradually revealed. The first letters of each answer spells the author's name. I will post the solution to the puzzle tomorrow, if anyone wants to try to solve it! (HINT: Quote is by Hunter S. Thompson) CLUES: A. Having a rose-like pattern 99- 120- 124- 140- 112- 113- 87 B.
