“He liked fishing and seemed to take pride in being able to like such a stupid occupation.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Greetings all,
As promised last week, I have avoided wordplay for logic this week. No real expertise in English should be required. Unfortunately, I did not finish the ambitious puzzle I was writing this week, so it will sadly have to wait for next week. As a result, I have gone with a slight variation on an unoriginal, but superb logic puzzle. The source is listed in the start of it. I really hope to have a much larger and more interesting nested series of puzzles with what will probably be 5-10 giveaways next week.

The prize this week is Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons (http://store.steampowered.com/app/225080/) and the contest runs until 5 May at the now traditional time of 11pm GMT.

The puzzle is called Seeing Things from Every Angler

Enjoy.

Corrections/Errata

  • There was a missing apostrophe in the example, which talked about the "2 anglers path", rather than the "2 angler's path". This has been fixed but should not have affected anyone's ability to solve the problem.

Hints

Reserved for what may come

Minor typo fixed (and noted in corrections/errata above). This should not have affected anyone's ability to solve the problem.

Some 34 hours to go. We have 17 solvers but only 4 entries. I would dearly like at least one more for the CV if nothing else.
