For the 38th International Puzzle Party, held in San Diego, California, in August 2018, Kate designed a puzzle with the theme of "38", titled 38=12. It's a pentomino tiling that asks for a perimeter of 38. A word puzzle playing with the letters and numbers in "San Diego 2018" was included, plus a double-whammy sudoku-type challenge.
Here is Kate at the Puzzle Party festivities, with an expansive display table of colorful puzzles for sale to the attending puzzle lovers and collectors.
The solutions will not be published until the official souvenir book appears, maybe in 2019. In the meantime, you can print out the 38=12 pattern and try to solve it yourself.
We have a few sets of this limited edition still available, while they last, neatly packaged in a slender clear cylinder. $19
