Wild boars, coming to a bookstore near you!

I'm happy to report that the Johns Hopkins University Press will be publishing my book Reading Herodotus: A Guided Tour through the Wild Boars, Dancing Suitors, and Crazy Tyrants of The History. It should be out in the fall of 2012.

Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge: March 31

Update: Karen wins it!

It's Saturday, which means it's time for the deblog's Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge! Anyone who cares to participate may do so as follows:

1. Play the theoretically simple yet maddeningly difficult Set Puzzle.
2. Post your time in the comments to this post.
3. The winner for the week gets to hoist the much-coveted winner's badge. This should be posted in a blog post rather than on your sidebar, say, because, after all, your time to bask in the glory of the win is likely to be ephemeral.

How to post the badge? Some possibilities:

1. Download the badge to your own space and link thereto.
2. Include this code in your post:

<a href="http://www.the-deblog.com"><img src="http://dhamel.typepad.com/images/setduelwinner.gif" /></a>

3. Alternatively, you're not obliged to post it. This is all in fun, after all.

This week's scores:
Debra -- 1:26
Tom -- 1:33
Karen -- 1:11
Clare -- 2:39
Deborah -- 1:33
Maxine -- 3:25
Douglas -- 1:18
Kimmy -- 3:00
Susan -- 3:06
