February 22Imagine this scene: You're walking across the Academic Quad on a brisk autumn day in October 1954.

This is the first step toward realizing that the paper doesn't actually open right to left and that this isn't page 16, 11 pages after the Sudoku, but in fact page 3, two pages before it. Mazal Tov!
