I guess it still depends on your age and childhood ^^ ---

I am finding the 6th and 9th clues hard to decipher… ---

Yes I’m quite surprised too, it took me over 3 hours to solve it, and it would have taken more if I didn’t notice this certain trend with the clues. I’ll leave that for you to figure out 😉 ---

Yes, I did notice that trend or the common theme that you are talking about. I have solved it a few hours ago. But unlike some people here who got the final answer by just solving the first 6 or so clues, I had to do all the 12 to make sense of it. I wasn’t familiar with the 2-word phrase before, maybe because I am a non-native. ---

Ya I didn’t know some of these things either, I had to google it to find out. Honestly this has been a great learning experience for me, great puzzle! ---

I’ve had a lot of trouble with submitting the solutions. I’ve noticed that on my iPhone, it never works properly. On other phones it sometimes does. I have the best luck on a laptop or desktop. I think it might be to do with the Captcha. Try another device. ---

Yeah, it’s kind of a cultural thing. Also, generational. Younger people might have no idea, but I am old enough that I grew up immersed in this particular cultural … uh … thing. ---

BTW, just to know your opinion, what age do you consider young when you say “younger people”? Same question for the old? ---

Hi, this puzzle is easier to solve in my opinion if you look from a helicopter rather than overanalyzing. Also, after a few answers, you’ll quickly see something that will help you. 🙂 ---

Oh, good question. So, I’m in my 40’s. I think someone in their 20’s might be much less familiar with the final answer than I am. ---

Keeping it to the subject of sharing thoughts instead of hints: this puzzle felt a little easier compared to previous puzzles. By now i was expecting the puzzles to get increasingly harder. Still, this one was satisfying to solve. Good luck! ---

If you decoded it correctly, answer each clue, and apply same logic on the answer… Example - Encoded clue : xsimpson xbaby Decoded clue : simpson baby Transformation : add x to the beginning Answer : maggie Now apply transformation on the answer : xmaggie Hope that helps ---

I did the first one last, it took a little while of playing around and figure how everything works. Took me a few hours, it’s now 7 am and I haven’t slept yet! Ironically I think I solved this better being half asleep than I could have being awake. ---
