Hello Marc,

Good point about rule sets. Solution notes makes sense but I don’t want to tarnish anyone’s accomplishment. I decided to be much more liberal about this than I am for MC4D, especially for past solutions. In those cases I’m pretty much just deciding whether the person appears to have demonstrated the ability to solve the puzzle. I encourage those people to produce a new or updated video using the canonical set but I don’t want to require that.

I really want to add your name to the list too. We’re now up to 6, so if you want to get in the first 10, you should probably get moving! :-)

Happy puzzling!
-Melinda

If any of you besides Zander and Luna have solved it, I’d love to add you to the list. We’re currently up to solver #5, so if you want to get yourself into the first 10, it would be good to do that soon as we’ve already shipped over 30 puzzles! The Can-Chris-Solve videos resulted in at least 10 sales, and he plans to launch a final video on Saturday in which he fixes his pop and properly finishes his solve.
