Hello, puzzlers! We're sure you're ready to get started on this year's puzzles, but unfortunately, for the third year in a row, they've been cancelled. We certainly wanted to "puzzle on", but there was simply no way to worry about puzzles in light of recent events.

You see, we all thought we were simply imagining seeing shadows and people hurrying around the corners near Calvin's old office. We all miss him so very much. But just this morning we actually saw somebody going into his office!

At this very moment, we're trying to figure out how to get in and stop the intruder. Alas, this is much easier said than done. You see, Professor Reynolds always was a tricky one. He modified his office door with an elaborate locking system that doesn't include a door knob or any other apparent method of unlocking or opening the door. There's no doubt he had some kind of remote entry system.

Fortunately for us, Professor Reynolds was rather forgetful and would often leave clues lying about for things like passwords. He likely has very informative scraps of paper and such lying around his office, but since that's where we're trying to go, we have to hope he left a clue on his personal homepage.

Please help us out puzzlers! And remember, since we're trying everything we can too, it's never a bad idea to email us with your ideas and see what we think. In fact, we strongly encourage you to make contact!
