EMPLOYEE #71 

A puzzle to be said out loud, eh? Or should I say, ay? Or—not ay? Really, that one relied heavily on the first line, at least in my case. A-game-man-on. No a, of course. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae. Followed by Heck and Tore, Hector. From there, it would seem Complexico thinks himself Achilles and Rubeus Redman his Patroclus. Strange. Though solvable, nonetheless.

As for his latest fiendish complexity, it feels obvious, no? In fact, this one calls us out by name even. Yet, I can’t seem to wrap my head around what the answer could be. Truly, replacing cs with ks in the word “practically” is more confusing than helpful to me. Also, why would a hot beverage split one’s mouth open? That’s rather gruesome, no?

“I’d like to file a formal complaint, 
with the Cafe and Diner: 
Your coffee is far too hot! 
It praktikally split my mouth in two! 
It had me letting out such a horrible sound. 
Now, I’m not one to scold, 
When coffee isn’t cold. 
But it’s bedda to be safe than sorry.”
