Batter up...
Batter up...
February 12, 2006
During the Mystery Hunt off-season this year, my team has decided to try something new: practice puzzles. This week I was assigned to post two meta puzzles. Instead of culling from previous hunts, I decided to write two of my own. Now that they've each been test solved, I'll post them here for people that Big Jimmy didn't fantasize about to solve.
Puzzle 1:
Puzzle 2:
(Besides the answers, each puzzle in this imaginary round came with a musical note next to the title. These are in parentheses. You've only solved four of the seven puzzles, but you have the notes for the remaining three.)
Guess for puzzle 2 (ROT13'd to avoid spoilers...):
FUEVARE?

Well, next I'd guess the plural of the same thing, but your comment suggests that's wrong too.
Posted by: The Dan at February 16, 2006 10:18 AMOkay, I think I sort of see why you'd do that... but still wrong.
Relook at whatever you did for "FRIENDS" -- I think you made a mistake. (Or I made a mistake in writing it... send me an e-mail if you're convinced that's the case.)
Posted by: Erin at February 16, 2006 10:30 AMOH! I totally know what you did wrong. I thought that might trip people up...
Posted by: Erin at February 16, 2006 10:32 AMOh duh. PUBJQRE, then.
Posted by: The Dan at February 16, 2006 10:52 AMYou win. :)
