University of Rhode Island (emeritus) mathematics professor Dean Clark used vanish puzzles extensively in his non-majors math class, "Mathematics of the Unexpected." The Missing Pumpkin is one of his designs. It was published in the October 30, 1997 issue of the Providence Journal-Bulletin newspaper, just in time for Halloween. (Providence is the capital city of Rhode Island.) I am offering the complete 8-page "LifeBeat" section of the newspaper. The Missing Pumpkin vanish puzzle appears on the front page of the newspaper section. The newspaper section is in EXCELLENT condition.
I will ship within the US at insured priority mail pricing (from between
$8.70 and $11.60, depending on postal code). I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked.
