TIME's continuing series of special issues on the 100 most influential people of the 20th century will culminate in December, when we will name a single figure as the Person of the Century.

For long sessions I follow the mythical story line, which takes players from Cairo to Maui and beyond in search of the missing pieces of Pandora's Box. For a quick break, I can select and solve my favorite puzzles in any order I choose. Along the way, I've ruminated over Renoirs, cursed at the New York City skyline and outthought The Thinker, as I diligently pieced together each masterpiece. So let the guys have their mindless fun with Age of Empires or Myth...
