[PUZZLE] CGW April 2006 I have just purchased an online copy and it has an article about Perplex City
In the article it has the following hidden text

AHINTISCLOSEBY
I guess this might be the answer they are looking for!
On the opposite page it has the Cognivia advert with a picture of a maze like brain.
No obvious signs of other puzzles apart from a solveable brain maze on the Cognivia advert
Link to answer page http://www.cognivia.com/testing/
Be quick with this one because they are looking for 100 correct answers

which is what I submitted as my answer, but I didn't notice the bolded letters on the first page (schoolboy error), so I'm not sure whether there's something else that I missed!

It suggests that the answer must be on the advert but hey I put the bold text as my answer! (Mentioned above)
So this is not really on the advert.
Any chance of posting that pic of the

And can I just point out that the first paragraph of the article is wrong - we saw the plane in Manchester but then went to the pub for a couple of pints, and then we sauntered (there certainly was no franticness about it) to an internet cafe.
And it does look like an elephant - here's an annotated version using my exceptional paint skills.
