Puzzler: Pass the Dressing, Please
The clues this time are simple, really. Start with 21, 8, 7. Here’s the part where Peyton Manning might yell “Omaha.” Next, add 7, 8, 25, 12, 15 and 22. Now, there is only one way through this cypher. You will need a little help, and the trick sounds like a salad or a dressing but, of course, it’s neither here. Just hang your solution on the last digit in the year of Dickinson’s founding, that should do the trick.
