I need help extracting answers for puzzles #6 and #8 from the 2022 MIT Aquarium Hunt (full hunt here: https://puzzles.mit.edu/aquarium/2022/index.html MIT Aquarium Hunt).
Images for the #6 and #8 are included here. I have the basic answers but am lost on how to combine them to get final answers.
For #6 I think the basic answers might be: lobster, jungles, lagoons, bathtub, postits, dropbox, limeade, and blossom. I presume a one-word puzzle answer must be extracted from these and something related to the “test pattern.” Notably, all the basic answers are seven letters long. But I don’t have any ideas. I don’t see any colors in the basic answers, etc.
For #8, I have basic answers: June, Philadelphia, Ronald Reagan, Taylor Swift, and dice. I presume they need to be used somehow in the grid at the bottom to extract a one-word puzzle answer. But I haven’t had any promising ideas.
