numbered dashes. Then transfer each letter to the
correspondingly numbered square in the grid to spell
a quotation reading from left to right. Black squares
separate words in the quotation. Work back and

the puzzle. When you’re finished, the initial letters of
the answers in the word list will spell the author’s
name and the source of the quotation.Acrostic|by Mike Shenk

Kent and Hannah invited their friends to
dinner. Some friends arrived with their
spouses while others came alone. Each
guest greeted both hosts and every other
guest. When two men greeted each other
they shook hands; when two women, or a
man and a woman, greeted each other they
exchanged kisses. Guests who arrived as a
couple did not greet each other. In total,
there were 6 handshakes and 12 kisses.
How many guests came to dinner, how
many of them were in couples and how
many were alone?SFC BOOT SLOB FL IPS
