Corrections

There is an error in The Atkins Musical Diet Contest in the January 2007 issue of Games World of Puzzles. In the eighth row of blanks, the third blank from the end of the row should be shaded (instead of the fourth blank from the end, as shown on the contest page). We apologize for any confusion caused by this error.
