Hello, Great American History Puzzlers! I’m Ken Jennings–yes, the 70-something-time Jeopardy! champion, but also a lifelong history buff and puzzle addict. In the weeks to come, I’ll gradually be unveiling a series of diabolically devious enigmas and brain-teasers over at The Great American History Puzzle website. One lucky winner will be headed to Washington D.C. to get a personalized tour to “Secrets of the Smithsonian” that even I don’t know.

The challenge starts in the pages of this month’s issue of Smithsonian magazine–here is more information on how you can get a copy. Watch this space for more from me during the contest, and good luck.
