- More about Cain's Jawbone: A Novel Problem
Six murders. One hundred pages. All in one box. Millions of possible combinations… but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada’s murder mystery?In 1934, the Observer’s cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. Presented here as cards for you to shuffle and – through logic and intelligent reading – to sort into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Inside the box you will find each page of the original book printed as 100 individual cards, ready for you to rearrange and solve. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain’s Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks?Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
