This is the question and discussion thread for Chapter 3. Have fun as usual. All questions welcome.

Traveler, chapter 3 is a dual puzzle! ">https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/875898/WS5Chap-3-Of-Flying-Faeries-and-Flutes-/1/

.. you have outdid yourself on the graphics.. those pictures are wonderful!

Thank you! I loved them! They had just the look I wanted. :)

Those pics are absolutely perfect.

Clytie...and Junu? Ooh fun~

Might I get a specific translation of "kolto" since google is not at all helpful? I'm guessing somethign like bard, musician, something like that. And also for "regen"? I've never encountered that particular title, and I'm fairly certain it's not a typo on regent. Interesting that Djoni of the werewolves is also related to the vampires...though I suppose it's not the first time. amused Ghostfires, though...hm~ thoughtful

I giggled at the opening scene, and the lampshading. It's likewise amusing that bell-like laughter is distasteful to someone that dislikes music. Not everyone would make that connection and it's brilliant~!

I love the pics too. Especially that first one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ! explodes into confetti

It's bard or minstrel.

It's not a typo. It's a truncated version of regina or queen, but it doesn't have quite that status.

oh i think you might've made a big confetti mess hehe -snuggles- thank you though :*

For the first puzzle, is there 2 possible answers by chance?

Having the same question as as I'm getting two possible answers.

I have an smail on that as well. There are indeed two possible answers, so your team will have to make a judgement call. Multiplication works no matter how it's done, but left to right is mentioned. So, to please the grid creature, the most literal solution might be the choice--multiplying the first three should give you half of 420, but both will work for me.

There was supposed to be a "secret bonus" on that one IF the reasoning for choosing that was given. It was a test run to see if hidden bonuses would be possible. I told the judge involved I doubted those would work, since you all immediately head to the boards with any questions of this sort. I'm sending her "back to the drawing board" for another method. hehehe

I do love my Squirrels!!

Thanks for the quick reply! ❤️

Is there a larger version of the grid available?

Did you right click for full image and then left click on that image to enlarge it? That should give you a working grid.. There isn't a larger version than that unless you print, sorry.

Ah, thank you! I hadn't gotten to dig that deep yet, at work, but I'll try that.

- happy belated birthday!

I think you're supposed to sweep up all the confetti and try to repack back together again so she'll be around to help your team solve the puzzles. :-)

- posted somethings on SL for you (and the group) to look at.

thank you <3 OOH I didn't think of that. I totally just left her there -giggles-

- in that case I hope you didn't spill any of the party drinks. :-)

I explode into confetti all the time. Occupational hazard. <3 I've grown quite skilled at reassembling myself -- but yeah, spilled drinks might be a problem.

Important stuff: I screwed up! (Yes, it happens) Don't go around in circles. I misread the information my maths judge sent me with the puzzle, which was simply a general example as being related to the specific problem, which it wasn't. So it's totally my narf, which I found when I tried it myself. (Reminder to always do that first! I was tired, worn out from the heat wave that finally broke, and I just tucked it in.)

There are two possibilities. Either one will be credited.

You guys are fine. I get the dunce cap!

(PS: On the back end of WS, we're still, and always working, on puzzles that are difficult enough to be a challenge for you, since we're VERY intelligent as a group. The real balance with the math stuff is making it "crystal clear" without giving it away. We'll keep working on it, and thanks for your patience.)

hehe -sees a wet globby mess of confetti and wonders if shy lost a limb-
