Thanks for all the positive feedback!
It is indeed my debut puzzle. It's nice to have a crowd of muggles who are more than willing to solve a puzzle (as opposed to my poor family members and once close friends who have had to suffer my earlier construction attempts foisted upon them).
A big thanks to Will and the Pandora's Blocks team who patiently worked with me to create the final puzzle.
I'm more than happy to receive any constructive (quite literally) criticism. Feel free to PM me - though I'm in Israel so it may take some time until I get back to you.
Thanks for solving,
Shmuel
I thought it was you, but neither your first nor last name is the same as your forum name. So, I was confused. Congratulations! It’s nice to put a face to a puzzle

Dino.
A pleasant solve for a Sunday afternoon. Great first effort. I was half-expecting/hoping for a different answer, though.

I finally cracked this on the third attempt. Fun to know the creator is in Israel.

Solved. I understand "out of the box " given the title. What is the meaning behind "Dino"?

I believe that started because I'M DONE anagrams to DINO ME --- and then getting aboard the dino train evolved from that -- you know how these things just kinda take on a life of their own.....

I wanted to construct a puzzle with a different answer, but the constraints were too much for me.
If I continue constructing and gain more experience I might be able to pull off something closer to what I had originally intended.

Great puzzle. NOT that easy for me actually. I just did not see it. Nice click when I finally did and a 100% answer.
I probably would have given up if not for all of the comments about it being easy!
DINO ME! Finally.

Nice puzzle and not as easy, until of course you see it and it is easy. Great debut, and I hope to see more.
I am probably mixing METAphors by combining MEOW and Pandora, but could not resist:
The cat is out of the box....

I said the same exact thing to Will.
