Hey Well Done Wulfruna

[LAT]

And congratulations to Maisie who has also found the Treasure.

[fernando]

Well done maisie for finishing

[giraffe]

Well done Maisie. I'm glad the fog has lifted.

[pebbles]

Well done Maisie!

[maisie ladybird]

Thankyou - I've still got some puzzles left to finish, so still quite a bit of fog left

[chazzie]

And a well done from me as well Maisie.

I'm still with you - managed the Meta - but still ploughing through the last of the puzzles

[MBH]

Well done Maisie

It's interesting that a lot of you have got the Meta without filling in all the gaps. I'll need to keep looking at that (when I make any more progress).

[Scurra]

Well it's supposed to work like that! I think Cenwulf did it with only about half the answers (and some inspired guesswork, I think he'll agree.)

Actually, it works like that more than people seem to think. For some reason, people tend to assume that the meta can only be solved after all the other puzzles have been done. Whereas a lot of the time the meta can give you some valuable clues about what you are looking for in the rest of the puzzles, once you've worked out what is going on! ("Court in the Act" is a good example of this.) This time the connection between the puzzle answers is a little more obvious, as is the underlying pattern.

Of course, sometimes it won't help you at all. But hey, you can't have everything

[Laura]

Why not?

[Wulfruna]

Well done Maisie - hope you enjoyed that wonderful moment when the penny dropped
And yes, I am also still struggling with those last few puzzles - it's not necessarily a huge help having some idea of what the answer must be, unless you can spot the method for getting there...

[tricia]

well done - I have still 10 to finish and there does not seem to be enough time

[kathlyn]

wel done maisie.

I still have 10 to do finish although I have only started 6 of those.

[Bunnylump]

Cor, what a clever lot you all are.

[Cenwulf]

I think Cenwulf did it with only about half the answers (and some inspired guesswork, I think he'll agree.)

It was nearly two thirds of the answers (16 out of 25), and yes I did use some guesswork to fill in some gaps - something I seem to do a lot.
And I didn't get any vauxhalls until after I'd got the Meta answer. It was in fact the other way round - the Meta gave me pointers to the vauxhalls.

i'm with you Cenwulf - getting the Meta helped quite a bit with solving some of the remaining puzzles

Having completed a couple more puzzles something is beginning to emerge from the fog. It just doesn't make sense yet.

......... something is beginning to emerge from the fog. It just doesn't make sense yet.

It will!!

Good luck Giraffe!!
