3 AcrossHow it started: one of these, every single day (6)

Riddle

He writes software in Seattle. She builds products in Amsterdam and flies planes for fun. Nine time zones apart, she sent him a riddle.

Then another one the next day, and the day after that. She named the game the AMSTATTLE Café, half Amsterdam and half Seattle, open daily. He kept showing up for his order.

Somewhere between the clues the answer became obvious. They have been solving things together ever since, usually before a workout and occasionally instead of one.

1 Down

Tulika

Product manager. Sets the puzzles, the roadmap and the pace on leg day.

2 Across

Rohit

Software engineer. Thinks in code. Will debug anything except his own dance moves.

4 DownWhat stood between Seattle and Amsterdam (8)

Distance

Seattle to Amsterdam is 7,800 km and nine time zones.

His morning coffee was her evening wind-down. The riddles crossed the Atlantic anyway.

She flies planes. Long‑haul never scared her one bit.

So an engineer and a product manager did what they do with any hard problem. They kept shipping, one visit at a time.

In March, both flights land in the same city.

Distance remaining: zero. Final destination: Jaipur.

5 AcrossThe Pink City, where both flights land (6)

Jaipur

The venue

Devi Ratn, a resort built like an observatory.

Its architecture takes after Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century observatory whose stone instruments tell time by the sun. It sits under the Aravalli hills, about 45 minutes from Jaipur airport. We could not think of a better place to mark a moment.
