INNER CIRCLE - JULY 2002
TIMES RESULTS


       There were 47 paid entries to the Times puzzle. There were also 3 entries that included the $5 subscription fee, but not the $35 entry fee. Those 3 players did not participate in the contest.
       The Times puzzle resulted in a 15-way tie. This would give prize shares of $87.74. Since that is less than $100, a tiebreaker puzzle has been issued.
       Here is the winning 7,872,353-point solution.
