i’ve got it now but i don’t understand the relevance of the word. do you put all the words from each puzzle together?

oh you do

didn’t read the instructions

no.

Oh go on

I don’t want to have to ask Joke

(i had a look at 7 and don’t have a clue)

You know what I have literally just got it.

Got eight now too, but was basically guessing.

two’s easy because there isn’t actually anything to solve, therefore no word.

Next!

that’s our evening sorted then. I’m ignoring this thread until we’d had a crack at it.

I’ve managed to find a way to reason to the answer to 8 now.

9 has me totally stumped though.

Stuck on 7 atm

Don’t want GCHQ knowing how amazing I am at doing Turing puzzles tbh.

Well puzzle 6 is disappointingly boring and not fun at all. Let’s just find the answer to some questions and try and jam them into a deliberately awkward shape somehow?

I’d pretty much worked out what the word was before I’d finished filling it in. The hat definition is a bit poorly defined and finding the name of the satellite became a point of pride for me, rather than necessary.

I don’t know if I was just tired by that point but I cba. I’ll return to it tonight. Honestly though I hardly knew any of the answers to those questions! Not really a fan of puzzlers that require so much general knowledge.

I think the assumption is that you’ll Google, and it still requires a moderate amount of skill to get that right. The bulk of the puzzle is then in fitting the words I think.

Too many of these puzzles really need a printout to solve. Not sure I can do the chess one with just a screenshot in Paint 3D.

my wife printed out the flower diagrams for puzzle 5 and then cba but I wanted to do it and had a pad on me so I wrote it all out instead! Just one word per line until it wrapped around, was probably easier to read tbh.
