Re: Something Happened! (+1)

I just finished, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun.

Only the tune-guessing one was a bit annoying, as I did not know the song (and I assume noone in Austria does) and ended up brute forcing it.

Kudos to Robobob3000 for actually making a pastry with the puzzle in it instead of the surely easier and more obvious path of making five image files.

Even after sleeping on it, I still don't have a clue where to begin with Snow Delays. Can someone please send me a hint?

I'd have to say that personally I consider the Snow Delays puzzle one of the hardest ones, very much a lynchpin like one. If you don't see the connection... you'll never get it

Re: Something Happened! (0)

There are a few clues which can be Googled.

After you have about three or four clues, you should have a much better idea of what the other answers should be.

I like the puzzles, they are just a bit too hard.

GO Delivery: Can only find the first two. I did found some other stuff, but the word lengths never fit. I think I need a bit more hints with it.

Snow Delays:

Chrissword: To be honest, I couldn't figure out of any of them

Chrissword looks like a cryptic crossword. If you've never learned how to do them (like I haven't), they make no sense at all.

Fortunately you don't need to solve it to get to the bottom.

Thanks. Got the Delivery thing. I've never seen this feature before. Cool.

Unfortunately I'm just not good in cryptic crosswords

Fortunately I've also solved Sudoku.

Hey all! Having a good time with these, but they're not easy!

Currently finished:
288 Hours, Christmas Funtime, Dungeon Gameshow, Sudoku
Working on Chrissword (hard!) and G.O.Delivery (the penny just dropped! I get the connection- fasted ever "H&S effect" I've ever experienced).

Thanks to all for the puzzles, love the idea.

I'm also stuck on Snow Delays. I've gotten the theme, and seem to have derived part of the answer, but can't get the whole.

But the rest looks like gibberish. Help? PMs welcome.

Edit: PMs received, error found - I was one letter off. What an ultramaroon. Now for the present!

My apologies for the double post, but I just don't get Snowmen, Under The Tree, or Snow Delays... Could someone provide assistance in secret tags or PMs? I can offer assistance on any other puzzles besides Chrissword and Name That Tune, which I have skipped.

To be honest, I had no idea how I solved Snowmen. There was supposed to be a theme? I found three clues that sort of fit together, and then used the seasonal theme and guessing to find the password.

I am posting it here because if you are working on it this Christmas Day maybe you need help and no one else is around.
