Sherri Skanes

Sherri Skanes is an American treasure hunter, artist, and semi-retired school teacher in Ventura, California. On March 20, 2004, she solved magician David Blaine's $100,000 Challenge, as published in his book Mysterious Stranger: A Book of Magic.

Skanes, who tested and shared many of her answers on an Internet message board devoted to the puzzle, said, "I've always been fascinated by puzzles and [this Challenge] was harder than I originally imagined, but when it got down to the final stretch, it became a matter of anagramming, the one puzzling skill I seem to be proficient at. It took a leap of faith when I found myself counting steps in the Hollywood Hills."

The challenge was designed by game designer Cliff Johnson, creator of The Fool's Errand.
