Swarmlord2 is the first to solve!
Got our 3rd solve on #2. Still only 1 solve on #3 and #4.
Question: should I post solutions when we've got 3 solves on all 4? Or would you like me to keep posting riddles? I have 2 more, and they're the hardest 2... one of them is pretty nuts difficult. Or I can create some new ones instead of re-using puzzles I created almost 10 years ago.
I'm really interested in ciphers and codes. Although I can't solve any of these I would be very interested in seeing the answers when you post them. I was looking at one of your old puzzles (falling rain) and it helped me solve an unrelated puzzle I have been working on for a while.
We've gotten 2 additional solves on #4, so that's now be filled. 2 prizes left... both of the Chess Riddle, #3! I really didn't think that one was very hard...
The problem with 1 of the other 2 is that I don't exactly remember how I put it together... and therefore, I am not sure I can re-solve it myself to recall what the answer is It's that hard.
@Mufflin1634 I have no idea what you're doing. Feel free to email me with your components and I can let you know how many (if any) were correct.
