Luckily, these sorts of puzzles usually end up being great fun to solve, even if they start out as nothing but an academic exercise.  Try it for yourself and see if you agree.  As usual, we provide you with two different sets of clues: the hard version, and the still-pretty-hard-but-not-quite-as-nasty version.  (Sorry &#8212; there were just too many fun clue possibilities to go for the truly easy experience.)  Let us know what you think and which version you preferred.
