[Unlike many who may wish for a tough year to end, a certain young man with an obsession with 13s is lamenting each approaching minutes. No more will he get a nice 13/13 each month, which made him smile just like his nickname. If 2014 is to take that away, then he is determined to strike back by leaving another numerical mark on it.

And so, as he crafts it for the paper and writes down the answers for submission, the first thing the network sees is an elaborate sudoku puzzle. Somewhere in there, his personal number has been hidden. It is the first time he's found a use for it since it popped into his head - it's a bit long and not as snappy, not as good as 13 even though it is more unique. Still, if there was any a time to use it, it was now. He looks down at his handiwork, fairly pleased, and as he stares the network can look in on his face. Finally, he lets out a sigh.]

Well, now it's ready. Take that, new year! Heh heh hehn.

... [WHAT. Why is there grandma writing on his puzzle? Why is it questioning his readiness? Most importantly, what should one do when answered by mysterious writing?

He tentatively decides he should write back. Picking up his pen, he scrawls in the margins.]

My plan to spite 2014 for taking 2013 away.

[...but that sounds crazy even to a piece of paper. And even if he'd already said it out loud.]

Just kidding. It's a sudoku puzzle.

Oh! I love sudoku! I'm not that good at it though.

Enjoy your head start, then, if you like to complete the ones in the paper. You'll keep it a secret, won't you?

[He hopes so. The other writer had said only people with the numbers could see the post, so he should still be able to submit it...]

← Cute. [he writes by the smiley face.]
