i just started this today since i was out of town, but i plan on finishing all puzzles within the 24 hours allotted, so i plan to be exactly 1 day away from perfect at all times, so those who have submitted on time, watch out that you don't stumble, because i'll be right here to catch you if u do

i'd prefer no weekend at all since some of us are only here on weekdays

either get us the weekend clues by 2pm friday so we have some friday time or give us until noon eastern monday would be great

re the weekend -

weekend is 1 day.

I will send people 2 sets of clues (for those who still have two outstanding) on friday. Whichever is needed to be solved first must be sent back first, but assuming it's correct, you can send the second set two, and I will put it in limbo in my pm inbox until the weekend.

90 mins left to submit today.

i have sent everyone who has submitted tomorrow's clues.

Hit me up if you are waiting for clues, because you shouldn't be, unless you submitted in the last few minutes.

ENTRYS FOR TODAY HAVE CLOSED

Quite suprised by the drop off in entrys over the first few days, currently, there are few wnough people at the maximum stage that, assuming someone finishes on the first possible day, finishing a day behind the leaders will guarentee you a point!.

Sorry, but anyone who did not submit by yesterday's deadline, excluding 'extra' days they may have burned is out of the points.

I wanna score this later, so I'm going to post all the hunts here, along with spoiler links.

If people want to have a go at the hunts, then just copy/past the start of the post without scrolling to the bottom for the spoilers.

Please refrain from posting itt until I have posted all 5 hunts, after that feel free to discuss anything you like, including answers. That way people still wanting to do them for fun can do so by not reading past the hunt posts.
