Tonight my wife watched her favourite television show "Jeopardy" as  I sat beside her preoccupied with a bunch of drafting sketches of a new puzzle box idea I am working on, when all of a sudden I hear the words "mechanical puzzles" coming from the tv.  I look up to see the smilling face of Jillian Hinchliffe on Jeopardy!!!  Jillian is the curator of the Lily library mechanical puzzle collection, and several of us got to meet her at this years IPP in San Fransisco.

She did a great job on the show and the questions were insanely hard, in fact I don't think I would have gotten any of them right.   I feel my IQ has gone up just knowing someone that has been on Jeopardy  Grin

Great Job Jillian!, and fantastic to see you tell the world about mechanical puzzles and the wonderful collection at the Lilly Library!
