On the puzzle contest...
It says in the rules that you can get a 3 year premium subscription if there is a problem with getting the video camera...

Is there any way of simply choosing the subscription instead of the camera if you win? [just theoretical - I'll probably won't win anyway  ]

You know, I think we did discuss this once before
in an earlier thread. I believe we agreed there to confine our creative problem-solving minds to Legal means. (IMHO, illicit Means of achieving the most laudable End, are tarnishing to it, and ethically unacceptable. That which is worth doing, can be done rightly. So from that basis ... )
I believe Someone suggested several effective & almost ethical-looking means for recipients of US Mail from the USPS.... In Winter the simplest Means is to simply(oddly enough) fail to shovel the snow from your sidewalks near the Mailbox.

But most of the year will require a more pro-active approach ... You may buy or otherwise acquire that favorite friend of everyone, but Mail Carriers of course; a ferocious, or at least very Yappy lap dog to keep in your yard. Failure of delivery is then G-u-a-r-a-n-t-e-e-d.
Be assured the Postal Service does Not worry about the size of your dog; rather that All Dogs Are Created Equal, and stay equal (if they have teeth). So think small. They eat less & are just that much easier to toss out the door to a proper guard-station. Or if you yourself happen to carry any Mail-man genes, maybe you better just get a tape-recording & "Beware Of ..." sign.

Oh, but wait; you live in Singapore. Ok, you just need to route your "temporary address" thru my house & we'll see if we cannot effectuate non-delivery. Just be sure to follow the directions carefully on the instruction-sheet from your postal service; especially numbers 44 thru 187. K?

You can surround your mailbox with landmines, or a moat filled with sharks or piranhas. :]

not a bad idea...
but a little too late there - I've already surrounded the mailbox with a bunch of angry tigers, panthers, cougars and my pet cat to lead them all!
