The Third and Last Puzzle in the Contest

A puzzle column explains a game of drawing circles on a chart where each circle earns points equal to the section number. The objective is to maximize total points, considering the privilege of increasing payments in this contest and carefully reading each condition.

Third Puzzle Sevens Star Circle Contest Instructions

The third puzzle explains a star shaped chart with seven sections where circles placed in each section score equal to that section number and the center scores seven. Competitors maximize points by drawing many circles in high value sections and sum the products. In ties, the fewest circles across all seven sections wins before prize division.

Rules for Circles in the Chart Drawings

The document outlines how circles should be drawn in the charts. Circles must be round as free-hand allows and must not intersect or touch each other or the star border. They may vary in size as long as the central white space remains clearly visible.

Instructions for a circle chart contest submission

The notice outlines rules for a circular chart contest with penalties for intersecting circles and wrong counts. It specifies using a sharp-pointed pencil, filling a blank under a star with circle and point counts, submitting in sealed envelopes, and deadlines for local and distant contestants. It explains payment adjustments, dividends in case of ties, and how extra payments affect later contests.

Titanic survivors and rescue details discussed in session

A congressional inquiry session reviewed Titanic rescue reports noting some deaths were overstated while many others died from exposure. Testimony praised the Carpathia crew, described orderly New York reception, and highlighted bravery of Clarence Moore and Maj Butt among Titanic passengers.
