Instructions for Accessing the rec.puzzles Archive
INTRODUCTION
The rec.puzzles Archive is a list of puzzles, categorized by subject
area. Each puzzle includes a solution, compiled from various sources,
which is supposed to be definitive.
To request a puzzle, send a message to archive...@questrel.com like:
return_address your_name@your_site.your_domain
send requested_puzzle_name
For example, if your net address is "mic...@disneyland.com", to request
"decision/allais.p", send the message:
return_address mic...@disneyland.com
send allais
To request the index, use:
send index
To request multiple puzzles, use several "send" lines in a message.
Please refrain from requesting the entire archive via email. Use FTP.
FTP
The entire archive is also accessible via anonymous FTP, from any site
which maintains archives of the newsgroups news.answers or
rec.answers. One such site is rtfm.mit.edu, where the archive is in
the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/puzzles/archive. The file
part01 contains the index. The remaining files contain alternating
problem text and solution text for all the puzzles.
Some other anonymous FTP archives are:

and perhaps save you the embarrassment of posting a well-worn
question. They will respond within two days even if they do not know
the answer to your question.
