Anmol asked Stuart Gibbs:

I just finished reading the first Charlie Throne book. It was awesome. BTW, i wanted to know that what was your process for creating such a puzzle? (in The Last Equation)

Stuart Gibbs To be honest, that puzzle/clue took years. It was based on an idea I originally had as a teenager, but I didn't quite know what to do with it. So I had the idea for a long time, and when I came up with the plot for Charlie, I realized i could use my old idea, then combined it with some new ones I had while brainstorming.
