Target Practice
Hey, get back here! A mysterious masked figure on a horse just grabbed an armful of Mission Street Puzzles T-shirts and rode off into the distance, due NNW. You shoot an arrow in that direction. When it leaves your bow, it’s moving at 100 mph (~44.704 m/s), at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. It lands at the same height above the ground as where it started. Where should you go to retrieve your arrow?

And the correct answer to the “Afraid of the Dark” puzzle was…
Afraid of the Dark
We somehow ended up in the woods of upstate New York all alone, with just a single small flashlight. I’m scared! Who knows what animals might be around? Please help me figure out what five types of animals are in this forest, and then how many of each. Last but not least, what basement restaurant would the animals like us to visit when we’re back in the city?

Who Loves You?
We have some secret admirers asking us out on strangely specific but otherwise amusing dates! The four letters are mysteriously signed, but their writers hid their identities within them. Can you figure out any answers about the WHEN, the WHERE, the WHAT, and most importantly the WHO? (Like usual, the final answer will be just one New York City date spot.)

Dear Alan,
I swoon for every expression on your face, from eye rolling to melancholy sighs to full-toothed laughter. I so greatly respect you and those in your intellectual milieu. Re: Kate, Sandra, and all of those other ex-lovers? I’ll never speak with them again. When we’re together, I feel that my soul is bonding with yours on a higher level than ever before. How do you feel about sipping tea, eating lemons, and sharing eclairs at 2:00?
Your Secret Admirer,

Dear Tanya,
It would be a classically dull oaf error if I missed this opportunity to tell you how I feel: I want nothing more than to spend Valentine’s Day with you. Let’s frolic around in the sand all day at the beach, and then enjoy a beautiful sunset evening and magical starlit night. And now, I do what I must: I let tonight’s invitation linger at your door, and anticipate your reply by 2:00. Anything would be fun together–whether you’re into untying shoes, reading obituaries, or washing apples, I’m thrilled to do it with you.
Your Secret Admirer,
L.S.S.
