+GATOULIS Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Can I play? Can I play??? I am a winner, but I wouldn't say no to more feathers!!! Who knows! I might be a cheaf! I believe Ihave answers for 5 or the 6 puzzles! The sudaku like is that easy or I was so lucky or I messed it up??? Quote Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I too have many of the answers, but alas I've already won one of these beautiful feathers... can I donate it to someone else if I play and win? Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ..or if there are more cachers under your codename, like me (me, my sister and my brother in law), I mean you are a team, you can take one each! Just kiding!!! Quote Link to comment

Ditto.... Perhaps. Lets wait & see if we get any more interest. I have some plans for the final few puzzles... CF30 Quote Link to comment
ELTADA Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have still been following these (even though I won my feather) - I do like the puzzles and this past batch are my favourites. Good job CF30 - you have quite a following on your cointest! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well so far we have three out of six winners: Puzzle # 45 How Many Rectangles 3 (NO WINNER YET - two guesses, two wrong answers but the guessers for this one won other puzzles) Puzzle # 46 Tricky Triangles backhiker Puzzle # 47 Times Square 2 (NO WINNER YET - one correct guess so far but they got another puzzle correct first) Puzzle # 48 Star Power Cydriver Puzzle # 49 Triangular Square (NO WINNER YET - two correct guess so far but they both got another puzzle correct first) Puzzle # 50 Fruit for All TeamFIREBOY1 So three winners and three puzzles waiting to be solved by new winners. If no one replys by my bed time I will open the unsolved puzzles up to previous winners who will then tell me who they want me to send the feather they win to. This must be someone who has not either won a feather or been gifted one by me. I will keep y'all updated. Congrats to the newest winners! CF30 Quote Link to comment
+Team FIREBOY Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wow!!!! See I told you lightning could strike. I won one.!!!!!!! woohooooooooo!!!!

PastorJon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 By the way... Even though the rules of the puzzle say NOT to count squares, I would like to contend that from a strict geometry definition, all squares are rectangles, even though not all rectangles are squares. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 More winners!!! Puzzle # 45 How Many Rectangles 3 e.caballus Puzzle # 49 Triangular Square Red Otter Only one unsolved puzzle left: Puzzle # 47 Times Square 2 CF30 Quote Link to comment
+backhiker Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Oh Thank you, thank you! After many false starts, problems with email etc. I finally got one. I have enjoyed these puzzles very much. My son LittleLizard even did the "totem pole" picture one (I printed it out for him) I may use some of these as examples for some puzzle caches. Keep em coming even if I am "out" for feathers, lots o fun. Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Ok, I'm going to wrap up this cointest with a big bang! This final puzzle is open to everyone - past winners, "giftees" as well as new comers and new puzzle solvers!!! The first FIVE people to decypher the following puzzle will win: 1) If you are a past winner - one feather in each of the finishes you have not yet received (or requested if I have not sent your feather off to you yet)! or 2) If you are a new comer or new puzzle solver - one feather in each of the four finishes! So there will be FIVE people who will have one of each of the four finishes!! So here is the puzzle: A couple things that might help you: This is a cypher of my own divising. I made a Puzzle Cache with it under my son's caching account. And, remember - you gotta catch them ALL! Oh, and I removed all punctuation just to make it harder.... Good luck.

+GPX Navigators Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 This one was a lot of fun & a unique idea. I worked on it till all hours of the night and the kids are sure having fun with it this am. I look forward to solving your son's cache; that one is way easier to see. Thanks for the really fun diversions and the brain challenges. I love the creativity of cachers! Since gas prices are so high, solving puzzle caches might be the way to go for a while. We're still working on it. Please don't put up an answer yet. Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sarah - my beautiful feather arrived today and it is amazing. Thank you very much!

I had a great time setting up the puzzles and sending out my Feathers. I hope y'all had as much fun as I did. CF30 WOOHOO!!! I checked out the final puzzle last night - and immediately called to my son (just finished grade 8 exams). "Come and help me!!!" He got a bunch of them just from memory and then we went to work. We had a ton of fun looking back at the old and new Pokemon and got our response in a few minutes after TokyoBlossom. Thanks so much Sarah for a fun puzzle and great idea for a cipher.
