Puzzlebrains

Zoe and Hazel are right - let's have the actual discussion about the sample puzzles over here rather than on the facebook page. That is where we can discuss the methodology of the Kickstarter process and how to promote it.

I still think the initial puzzle is fairly straightforward and quite a good example of the style of PB! It only needs a very small amount of research to identify some of the links between the two paths.....

Maybe I should have opened this thread under the "magazine" section below?

It never occurred to me that they might be linked.

That was what I was rattling on about. Those first two that I just happened to find went together! Just pot luck though, for me.

I still only have the right hand side of the grid sorted out.

Does that mean you have some words from each of the two paths? Does that not give you a hint about what you are looking for?

One of the paths seems t be a certain type of word, but I am still struggling.

In one chain I have the first word and then two words from later on.
The other chain I have the first three words and then two later on. I am struggling to find any words on the left hand side of the puzzle.

I've just been told the puzzle has a title which I hadn't realised. It didn't print out when I printed the puzzle. I'm told it is significant when you get near the end.

I will never need it then!

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Would it help if I told you that on the left hand side,the word "COMPUTER" goes over two bridges?

yes But I still have a pile of random letters, that make no sense whatsoever.

do you want me to check what you have?

If you follow on along the path from computer you should find another word that fits together with that (though other words are not directly connected as a sequence). Remember that the second path has a gap where it passes beneath the first path, so that the letter after the "bridge" follows on directly from the letter before it.

How are we getting on with the second puzzle? Not too hard to spot what we are supposed to do .......

I've done first bit got some answers spotted a pattern and now thinking what's next .......so nothing new

I've just go a few left, but think I can see a pattern.

I did the first bit and jotted down what I thought was the next stage but think I was wrong and not sure what to do next

Still trying to work out what I hope is the final bit for puzzle 2 .........but I've just spotted something re puzzle 3 Pity I need to go back to work!

These are the easier versions (yes, I know that's hard to believe!)

Do ask if you need prods.

pm'd you for a prompt on puzzle 2.

Have been making good progress on puzzle 3 now I know what is going on...

Other prods are available.
