## The story

Solving the Muddle Melon meant lining up every black seed in one perfect row, and almost nobody ever did it. Kids peeled off the seed stickers and stuck them back on to fake a win. One kid on every school bus claimed he solved it in under a minute but never showed anyone.

## Fun fact

The official solution booklet was forty pages long and still ended with the words 'good luck.'
