I wasn't suggesting an alternative, I was just pointing out a potential flaw. I said right from the outset that I didn't see this being a good fit for an ebook, because of the lack of interactivity available with ebook readers. The first thing I'd want to do with each "puzzle" is print it off.
I don't want to be too negative, but personally working with those blocks of characters wouldn't be my idea of fun. Simple as that. As I said, I think we have very different ideas about what is entertainment. There's nothing wrong with that though.

Well, there are certainly no hard feelings on my end.
You might be right about the lack of eBook interactivity being a negative... but I would guess that the same would be true for a paper book. Your wanting to print the PDF would probably turn into wanting to photocopy the page. I guess I'll find out whether this sort of thing is anybody's idea of fun.
It is mine... but, alas, I can hardly write compelling "puzzles" for myself.
And on that note... puzzle is a terribly word for these. Not too sure what else to call them though... particularly as the challenge is supposed to be a dual one, partly of deciphering, partly of interpreting.

Ps.: And, in case it isn't obvious, the PDF
is printable, if that helps anyone.
