| Jul 3, 2023 at 16:05 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @theozh hmm, why are you apologizing? I know you'd get the bounty either way, but it's not your fault nobody else answered (also, I manually awarded the bounty to you). Besides, the difficulty's quite inconsistent, so of course I understand if you aren't interested to go any further! You're too polite. π | |
| Jul 3, 2023 at 15:31 | comment | added | theozh | @ThePuzzler-orratherAPuzzler sorry, this is the StackExchange bounty system which I dislike in such cases, i.e. if you give a bounty to attract more attention, the system will give the bounty automatically to the answer with the most votes, independent if it is complete, helpful or useful. I had this case the other way round myself several times. And sorry, I have no idea about P9. If anybody else has an idea, please post it as an answer. I will not be offended. | |

| Jun 28, 2023 at 8:32 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @JS1 wow, that's a pretty cool coincidence! I would've provided less ambiguous clues if that was indeed the answer, though. Good try π | |

| Jun 9, 2023 at 14:28 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @toybaer good luck too! (and sorry for the notifications @theozh) | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 14:26 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @PattuX actually, no need to get a link! The answer to that puzzle is the animal. Won't comment on the idea just yet, no hints unless someone insists. Good luck π | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 13:49 | comment | added | PattuX | @ThePuzzler-orratherAPuzzler Is it intended that the last riddle does not give a pattern? Another idea that came to mind, is that (gur senpgvbaf fgneg n frdhrapr. n pnaqvqngr sbe n frdhrapr jbhyq or gur engvbf bs pbafrphgvir svobanppv ahzoref, nxn gur tbyqra envb, be nf n terrx yrggre: cuv. ohg ntnva, ab vqrn ubj gb trg gb na 8 yrggre yvax sebz gurer.) | |
| Jun 9, 2023 at 13:28 | comment | added | PattuX | Oh, yes that makes sense. For the last one, my first thought was about (nfcrpg engvbf bs syntf. gjb gb guerr vf irel pbzzba (vapyhqvat Terrpr), naq svir gb rvtug vf hfrq va svir qvssrerag pbhagevrf. Ohg V qba'g xabj ubj bar jbhyq pbagvahr sebz urer.) | |

| Jun 9, 2023 at 10:55 | comment | added | PattuX | I have also solved P9, but to be honest just after a bit of guessing. I thought (gur frpbaq cneg jnf qsbhe fvapr gung'f gur dhrra'f cnja tnzr). Can you explain why this wasn't the solution? | |
| Jun 3, 2023 at 3:42 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @Sconibulus nice!! Now, no hints for the last one. I'm very sure someone can do it (though that doesn't mean it's easy) π | |
| Jun 3, 2023 at 0:51 | comment | added | Sconibulus | P9: yrggref ner gevcyrgf bs pbhagel pbqrf, cvrpr vf oynpx Dhrra'f Cnja, no idea how to start on the last one though | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 12:55 | comment | added | theozh | @1357924680a of course I know that, but I did not make the link from the OEIS index (instead of the number itself) to two letters. Well, for this Ebzr is always good. I also didn't expect the same principle twice in the "same" Puzzle. | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 12:45 | comment | added | 1357924680a | You donβt know how MM is related to 2000? You are not in rot13(Ebzr)! | |
| Jun 2, 2023 at 6:49 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | rot13 (Jryy... 2000 ersref gb gur BRVF. Nyfb, ersreevat gb n fbat jbhyq znxr gur chmmyr yvgrenyyl vzcbffvoyr.

| Jun 2, 2023 at 5:14 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | Hmm, are you stuck somewhere now? I'm guessing puzzle 9, haha. Also, @Sconibulus I approve π | |
| May 30, 2023 at 13:35 | comment | added | Sconibulus | for puzzle 8, each of them is second of that name, for the first letters, then puzzle 3 again for the other set. | |

| May 28, 2023 at 15:33 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | Very nice!! I'll add clarifications when there's a complete solution. Good luck continuing π Also, rot13 (Gur znc qbrfa'g ercerfrag n frn) if you want a slight hint. | |
