Q: where was the announcement that PB is coming to an end? I checked this season's emails and didn't see anything.
In his first email of the season, the December 24th puzzle:
Some details about Season 6: After much thought, I'm planning for this to be the last full season of Pandora's Blocks. Other things in my life (e.g. searching for full-time jobs for post-graduation) are taking up more time now than they were 3.5 years ago when I started this email list. I don't love the idea of having a full year of hiatus in between seasons, and I also just don't have the overwhelming number of new ideas for puzzles coming to me now the way I used to. So, I'd like to finish with a bang - 12 more puzzles that I'm really excited about, and then we'll wrap things up. And, of course, we'll have one final mug drawing at the end of the season.
