Giuseppe—

Sorry for the delay. I know this puzzle came later than you were probably expecting. I had a little accident with a hammer. I was nailing something, and it moved unexpectedly.

It happens when things aren’t properly tied down.

Unfortunately, I smashed a fingernail.

Don’t you hate when that happens?

Typing is taking a little longer than I’d like.

But pain is a state of mind, isn’t it?

In semi-related news, I’ve done so many puzzles for you, I’ve begun to think in anagrams. Did you know that “I smashed a fingernail” can be rearranged into “refinished animal gas” and “freshening salami aid”?

Maybe you’re not as pleased by that as I am, so we’ll move on.

Let’s talk about poker. You know all about straights, and flushes, and pairs, and full houses, right? There are good hands, and bad hands. Sometimes, with bad hands, you can bluff and still win. But you always want to try for the best hand possible. That often means taking a risk, in order to get a card you need. If you have four of the same suit, and try for a fifth, but don’t get it, the term is called “a busted flush.”

PUZZLE #57

Look closely at this picture after carefully reading this email. What’s wrong with this hand?
