Q: What great mystery happened in the desert?

RiddlerThree people were driving through the desert. The oldest who was driving had a compass and some keys, the second oldest, who was in the passenger seat, had a map, a rope, and some duct tape, and the youngest was sitting in the back apparently playing some games on their phone which they reluctant...

Q: I am a giant among ants

Brandon_J I am a giant among ants, a nothing - yet something! - among man. I may be costly or inexpensive; my markings will tell you, done. In this grand year of 2019 my kind turns 41. We're made of a material not like a canyon or a can. I've got two arms, two hands, one head, two le...

Q: Homeostasis logic/math problem

SuperCodeBrahI'm trying to derive a generic formula for a programming algorithm. I might be overthinking this or underthinking it... we'll see. Each of the triangles below represents a container. Each container will transfer a percentage of whatever is transferred into it to the downstream container until a...

@North Hey! I've been checking in occasionally. Haven't had a puzzle to post here in a while (made two more variety cryptics meant for specific people, and it would feel kinda weird to post them here?). Currently working on a fairly big puzzle project - hoping it doesn't take too long.
Yeah, excited for Galactic! Hoping to get first place this time.
 
Looking foward to it, even though I'm guarranteed not to be able to solve your puzzles!
I currently am working on a real sequel to the mod kidnapping puzzle, set to be released roughly around the same day as the first one
;)
@Deusovi You placed second last year, right? :/
I solved two, and that was about it.. but I'm proud of it
And it was tons of fun
 
Yup!
And congratulations! Even solving two is pretty big if you don't normally do puzzle hunts - the difficulty is definitely on the harder side
 
Between you and me, I had the most fun just clicking the cookie XD
 
oh, you would've loved the ending then
 
It was like cookie monster, right?
 
5:53 AM
you had to break into the Cookie Monster's account, which had an absurd number of cookies of all 4 types, and had to find a way to get them all down to 0
 
Hahaha
mouse breaks
 
but clicking still added cookies
so it wouldn't work by itself
so it was a combination of figuring out how to use the three operations provided to get them down to 0, and frantic clicking
 
That's hilarious
I love how they added manual labour tied in with lateral-thinking
 
yeah, I was very impressed by how they managed to make Cookie Clicker itself into a puzzle
and I'm excited for what they do this year
 
Maybe you have to click ice
 
5:56 AM
the first one was also pretty good (mainly for spoilery meta structure reasons)
 
Hmm I forgot what the first one was
 
the Puzzleball Tournament
 
Ahhh
The one I didn't do because I hadn't joined SE then

Perhaps it's time for a Sunday evening C4 hint. Another letter or something else?
 
7:23 PM
probably not worth giving us the third letter (though of course the O might not be what it looks like)
 
I can give you the third and fifth.
 
If the O is what it looks like, the fifth might be too helpful.
 
You've probably a good idea what the first letters of the answer look like.
96h (or more) C4 hint: The third and fifth letter are both E. A previous hint said that the first letter is O, so the answer is O-E-E-----.
 
7:39 PM
seems like there's only one possibility but I can't see the way...
 
I'm a bit surprised to hear that. If you have the word, the way should be obvious. (There's always the possibilty thay my construction is wrong. I hope not.)
 
oh wait
it's OVEREMOTES
REMOTE in (m)OVES
 
@GarethMcCaughan Yes, that's it.
 
I was wanting it to be OVEREXERTS (with EX = out of) but that doesn't work at all
 
I don't do Latin. :)
 
7:44 PM
CCCC: Way to get terrible effect from Viagra: take two tablets (9)
(my apologies for being risqué again...)

Q: The Puzzle Hunt

Brandon_JThis puzzle is like a scavenger hunt; the solution to each part of this puzzle becomes a critical part of the next part of the puzzle. Part One [Steganography] Be very aware, dear. Buttons seem statically charged. Blackberries beat strawberries year-round. Got it? Good, you'll ...
