This one is really really fun!

Dino me!

I needed the hint, which was passed to me by another Muggle.

Very, very nice! Thanks, Will!

Dino me! Needed a nudge, but finally got there. Challenging, but fun!

I guessed the answer and then tried to backsolve. Even though I had the method I still need a nudge to apply it in what seem after the fact to be a pretty random way of doing things.

With a nudge, I guessed the answer too after getting the start. Confirmed out of the box. Will finish backsolving after I get a printer.

Same here -- guessed the answer, but not deserving of a dino yet!
Good news is -- I now have a slightly different conundrum to work at....

Got it with a hint from Will.

OK -- have it now so I merit a dinosaur! A big one! Nice (view of the) puzzle from here, Will!

Finally made it to an answer. Nicely constructed!

Despite having to leave the Tuesday call just as critical info was being shared, I’m out of the box, confirmed on Crosshare. Thanks to Will and the group - would not have got here without you.

thanks to a few tips gleaned from the Zoom chat - very clever!

I had the first step, and I had the right idea for the rest but was not implementing it properly. Once Will told me that was indeed the right idea, I saw how to adjust it appropriately and am out of the box.

Dino me, and I am properly embarrassed that I did not see what I should see at first. Nice bit of construction Will.

Well, I finally got it, but I'm afraid it's going to be another post-@boharr post from me (with a little @MarkWoychick thrown in there for good measure).

We finally got it, though we had to backsolve with assistance from the helpful comments on Crosshare.

Nicely done, Will!

Having seen the solution I'm glad I gave up early. Kas-never in a million years for me.

Huh? I don't get it.

Do you mean my post, or the description of the solution?

This one seemed good for a video solution.
