Just a fun little mini-puzzle I made a while back.
[Level 1] Meta prompt: You'll get a monetary reward for turning one of the four corners (NW, NE, SW, SE) in the puzzle. Which corner is it and how much is the reward?
Format your answer in [CORNER] [AMOUNT]. For example, if the answer is the bottom left corner and the reward amount is $25, then the answer would be SW $25.
Note: the level is the intended difficulty I had in mind when I designed the puzzle, but may play differently since every solver has their own area of expertise... what one person may find easy, another may find difficult.
Have fun and keep in mind if you're ever lost at sea, google is your best friend (actually, I don't know if you'd get internet service in the middle of the ocean)

Thanks!! Yeah, finally got around to posting the old puzzles so they’re all in one place… Some of my earlier puzzles aren’t as polished - I didn’t have test-solvers back then but hope you still find them funSeattle DB wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:40 pm Wow Phil, you uploaded oodles of puzzles!
