The U.K government has announced that a nighttime curfew between midnight and 6 a.m. on social media for 16- and 17-year-olds will be enforced in order to help with its social media ban for kids under the age of 16.  The Société du parc Jean-Drapeau has decided that puzzle enthusiasts will not be able to excavate the treasure that may have been buried by American author Byron Preiss in Montreal in 1981.
