‍1) Humbug!

‍

HINT: A KAOS scientist codenamed ‘The Queen’ is weaponizing bees inside the Hive - her secret laboratory! A CONTROL operative has been assigned to foil KAOS' evil plans! Oh, dear. Is puzzle constructor Bryant White telling you to Get Smart with his Humbug! puzzle?

‍

2) Tech Trees

‍

‍

HINT: The Tech Trees’  puzzle puts the "double" in 007, says puzzle constructor Michael Schlossberg. When he isn't spending time with his family or constructing crosswords, Michael works as a hospital medicine doctor. 

‍

3) A Black Tie Affair

‍

‍

HINT: What’s the connection? Puzzle setter Bryant White hasn't given us much of a hint for A Black Tie Affair but we do know he’s a fan of 007 so we’re gambling that he’s got his money on James Bond in A Black Tie Affair.

4. Making an Appearance

‍

HINT: It’s getting hot in here. Is it time for some… Kraft dinner? We’re Making an Appearance. Another intriguing puzzle from setter Michael Schlossberg.
