Viviyana and Turcko are neck and neck!!!

So proud of your cleverness!

[Viviyana]

Roc!!!

[Blythe]

We have TWO accurate solutions!
(Literally seconds apart)

Turcko was in first - according to the time stamp and had two corrections.
Viviyana was in second (barely) - and had one correction.

Cody solved the first puzzle fastest.

Now... who is ready for the third?
If any of those three finish the next one first, they will be the Grand Champion Puzzler
Or... will a dark horse come out of the woodworks to show their puzzling skills?

Hmm... I cannot wait to find out!

The second puzzle will remain until the third is posted.

Still time to finish them both (if you were wise enough to save the first one)!!! As I don't think I have received a correct solution for both puzzles from any one contestant.

Good luck and well done!!

(And I apologize for the typos - so embarrassing )

[Turcko]

Still not sure about the 7th though, what I found that fits, doesn't really exist by that name

[Blythe]

7 is fine

[Viviyana]

**cracks her knuckles** Bring it, you're going down, Turcko!!

[Turcko]

*laughs, obviously pleased* If the grand prize is booze I'm totally sharing with you Viviyana.
*gets all serious* If it's treasure I will not, my shinies!

[Viviyana]

Yes, well, I will drink MY booze as I count MY shines....you may watch.

[Lavender]

I am SO not good at these things! *laughs* But who knows maybe somethings will sink in and I will learn something.

Warning:

Next puzzle goes up around 6 central.
Puzzle 2 may come down at that time, or I may leave it a bit longer to see if anyone else finishes

Pallas has completed the third puzzle first and correctly!
22 was the only clue that couldn't be found in written form.
Gumpypants
From the DGPN random quote box:
Sephoroth: Greetins...Merra is it, a odd tittle ye bare...Grumpypants. is there a reason behind it? Merra: Yes. Come by me when my pants are in a bad mood. And you are a dead one.
(Merra and Sephoroth)

I was going to give another hint if no one got it by the time I woke up.


Well done Pallas!

[Turcko]

Congratulations Perceptive one! And thanks Raffe for the fun puzzles!

[Viviyana]

Yes Congrats and thanks! Although, shouldn't we have just ONE more?

[Blythe]

Well, technically... we don't have anyone that solved all three - so there is no grand champion.
