Donate to help support those affected by Turkey/Syria earthquake

Several members of the GMPuzzles family are from Turkey, and our thoughts go out to them and to others from Turkey and Syria who may have been affected or may know those affected by the recent earthquakes on the Turkish/Syrian border.

GMPuzzles will be donating all proceeds from book sales for the next ten days to relief efforts like those of the Turkish Red Crescent; we will also match any donations that come in via PayPal over the same period (see Tip Jar in left menu). As an advance against those amounts, we’ve given $1,000 to https://ahbap.org/disasters-turkey.

Update 12 Feb 2023: Serkan has constructed a puzzle to help raise awareness and funding for those impacted by the earthquake. We’ve put together this simplified PDF to be able to play along with the puzzle.

    “The cities to be placed are: ADANA, ADIYAMAN, DIYARBAKIR, GAZIANTEP, HATAY, KAHRAMANMARAS, KILIS, MALATYA, OSMANIYE and SANLIURFA.”

    I couldn’t figure out how to copy this list from the solving page. I went to the YouTube page to be sure I wouldn’t mistype anything.
