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? :D

Ditto....

Perhaps. Lets wait & see if we get any more interest. I have some plans for the final few puzzles... :D

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!

(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

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! :D

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.

Oh Thank you, thank you! After many false starts, problems with email etc. I finally got one. :D

 

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.

Remember that I would make an excellent fill in volunteer winner You KNOW you meant to make me an honorary one since not only am I computer illiterate but also puzzle illiterate. Believe me I don't even know how nor where to begin with those things :D A lot of these puzzles tend to be geometric genre :D

Dont worry, I messed up the gimmees!!! :D

 

Thank You Sarah, for donating the four feathers to my cointest...You just made four lucky winners very happy...and gave Fairyhoney perhaps 4 more chances!!! :D

 

So...Could this be perhaps the first Cointest only coin in forum history??? :D

And here in Western New York State, a beautiful copper feather drifted down to land in my outstretched palm.

 

Holy crow, it's lovely.

 

Many, many thanks, Sarah!

Got my antique copper #34 feather today - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you :D

It's actually a bit bigger than expected :)

When I got the coin in hand I saw something I didn't notice when I saw the picture of the coin - on the front there is a beak and an eye "hidden"... Or am I only seeing things that is not there?

That is Yáahl himself! :D I don't know if you can really call it "hidden" but he is definitely there.

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.... :D Good luck.

Remember to send all answers to yaahl.raven@gmail.com

This one was a lot of fun & a unique idea. I worked on it till all hours of the night :D 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. :D

 

We're still working on it. Please don't put up an answer yet. :D

Sarah - my beautiful feather arrived today and it is amazing. Thank you very much!

 

I am horrid with puzzles so it was but by the grace of something that I was able to solve one. You are very generous.

 

Congrats to all the winners too!

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. :D

Thanks, Sarah, for the wonderful puzzles. They all have been great...some I got, others I just had no clue. The final one took a lot of work, but finally it paid off. I'm heading home to Georgia from Australia, so I hope my feathers will be there. Again, thanks so much.....it's been fun!! Congrats to the other winners as well!!! :D:):D

In other words... I'm lost! :)
