Jeff is back with another puzzle, nice! I know you've been waiting for this surgery for some time. It's finally there! Put your brain at ease, we will use ours to solve (hopefully) these puzzles...
Comment has been collapsed.
looks like a great puzzle but surprisingly difficult, I only got 2 from the puzzle 1 batch correctly -- seems to me that some hints are rather unclear or allow multiple answers... anyway, wishing you the best outcome with the surgery!

3 from the second batch solved, 2 unclear again... it's the row hints where I'm struggling, the other parts seem easy enough or at least unambiguous...

thanks, that helped to clear one confusing point... that code (starting with uno) still doesn't work for me, though, not sure where I could be making another mistake... by now I have solved 3 from 1st batch, 3 from second batch and all 3rd batch (best one so far, row hints are very clear there)

oh, that was it, thanks! Got puzzle 1, 3 and 4 completed now...

Superb Jeff, I always appreciate your events.
I have one question on the first one. The Knights of the Round table is an ambiguous number. The Norman poet Wace, is the first to mention it in Roman de Brut, and describes it as seating thirteen people in all, a number stated in the Didot Perceval.
Robert de Boron, in Joseph d’Arimathe and Merlin says it seated 50 knights.
The Vulgate Merlin says 250, and the Vulgate Lancelot and Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur both say 150.
The English poet Layamon has 1,600.
And I have been to Winchester Castle personally and seen the 25 shields hung there, but at least one of those (King Arthur Pendragon) was not a technically knight of the round table.

Only started puzzle 1 at the moment. I've solved 3 sets. The uno and ballerina sets aren't coming together yet, I must have some wrong answers in there. But I have been working on mobile, and I'll have more time later today to get a better look at those.

Good luck with the surgeries! Thanks for the puzzles!

I've had Parkinsons since age 40... I'm now age 51. It has become difficult to control my body. I can't walk for most of the day and I'm in bed shaking and tremorring in great pain now like 85% of every day.
I need some relief...
Here is some details on the procedure...

My grand father also had parkinson disease. He had shaky hands. So I know how you feel.
Looking up the causes of this disease on the internet, I think the culprit of my grand father's case is exporsure to toxins. He was a farmer and may have exposed to a lot of pesticides and herbisides.
Do you share a simillar history like exposure to toxins?
I wish you have a fast recovery from the surgery! 💐

when I read that you will have brain implants, I got to think Black Mirror stuff (if you haven't watched it yet, go for it!) but than I read the rest and good luck man, be the RoboSteamGiftsPuzzler we need :D

Was just thinking "Maybe Jeff is doing another puzzle event?" and here it is! Thank you for it in advance, since I'm absolutely going to have a blast solving it, as I did with your other superb events.
Sorry for hearing that you need surgery, but I'm absolutely positive that all pans out well. Wish you a speedy recovery and may god bless you. :)

I'm still missing three codes, though, the "torso" and "fetus" parts of puzzle 2 (no idea what I'm doing wrong there) and the "driving school" part of puzzle 6 (cannot find the correct order), so I had to bruteforce my way a bit...
Is the captcha something to be found somewhere? I believe I tried all obvious answers and nothing worked...
Comment has been collapsed.
Torso one- think of head to toe order
Driving school may be unique order to USA, school first, then get a permit, then license, then the rest you should be able to deduce.
Fetus one starts with sperm meets egg and ends with giving birth
And its not captcha but CAPTCHA. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks, it seems I have the order correctly everywhere, so I'll need to recheck everything else later... also will try the CAPTCHA again with a clear head tomorrow...
Comment has been collapsed.
oh... I don't think I would figure that one on my own... thanks!

Bump, I'm also at the ITH, working on the captcha and the hidden word.
Edit: Derp, found the hidden word. Also, should have gotten that captcha sooner. Thanks for the large puzzle!

For those who are interested: I am going in for 10 hour brain surgery on Tuesday the 12th to put in two implants and will stay in recovery overnight. I will go back the 19th for another surgery that will put a pacemaker-like device in my abdomen that is attached to the brain implants that will control them. I wanted this puzzle event running during this time so I can have a fun outlet to keep my mind off the surgeries. The best way to encourage me is to solve this puzzle event!! This is what makes me happy! ;) Love you guys!
