 NOTE: There is an error in the Number, What’s My Operator? contest in the January 2009 issue of World of Puzzles. In the right-hand puzzle grid on page 71, two blocks have already been placed. In the block in the center of the top row, the square under the equal sign should be black (instead of white as printed) so that the block matches the one below the grid that has been crossed off. We apologize for any confusion caused by this error.
Please also note that the leftover characters from the bars below each grid can combine with “2”, “3,” and “=” to form two different equations; either of these equations is an acceptable solution to the contest.
