May 10, 2010
The small number of correct entries for the most recent Magister Ludi contest, even after some of the rubrical tightness was loosened, indicates that most people found it too difficult. Or too boring to slog through. Either way, there is still a Victor Ludi and a list of Holier-Hoes-become-HiLo-Heroes to announce.
