Eat your breakfast or I will HAUNT YOUR NIGHTMARES
Artist Jon Adams decided it was about time somebody combined sixteen different breakfast cereal mascots into one vaguely creepy mishmash. I don’t know what kind of cereal this thing would pitch, but I bet it is sugary. How many of the sixteen cereal critters can you name?

Can you dig it?
Two New York City artists, to promote their puppet-heavy videos, have hidden $10,000 somewhere in Manhattan. You’ll (probably) need to watch all eight videos to figure out where to find the treasure.

As I was leaving, I passed one last fruit stand, which like all the others had a young person out front with something to give away. [...]

My name! Read out loud over the air!
Most of the people who read this blog are here with me in Seattle, at the convention of the National Puzzlers’ League. (Or they’re just leaving, since the con is now over.) But anyway! Will Shortz used a little puzzle of mine on his segment on Weekend Edition Sunday. Go give it a shot.
