    Holy heck, what a feat of construction! When we found the mechanism, all I could think was "there's no way" and then it was!
    • C64 2s · 2022-04-10T15:51:43.914Z
      Right? It was like "Let me try this, and hmm now there's this, and huh look at that!"
      • Bart Gold 1:14 · 2022-05-09T08:32:43.144Z
        Can you explain the mechanic here? I've read all these comments twice and I still don't see it :/
        • schmidzy 🤓12:56 · 2022-05-10T20:14:24.076Z
          Will has a great write-up on the Pandora's Blocks website, you can view it here if you click to view solution: https://pandorasblocks.org/takingnotes
          • Bart Gold 1:14 · 2022-05-10T23:04:35.509Z
            That link seems to refer to this page, not the writeup :/
          • Bart Gold 1:14 · 2022-05-10T23:11:42.735Z
            ah. found it.
      • LesY 5s · 2022-04-10T14:38:12.413Z
        Great puzzle, Will! While it may look like I'm solving the grid instantaneously, I'm obviously not - I sometimes solve on paper, reveal the grid, then enter the meta answer. Thrilled you're back!
        • JM 🤓10:30 · 2022-04-10T14:23:27.898Z
          You get all A’s for this one!
          • hazmat 🤓7:43 · 2022-04-10T14:23:20.107Z
            Super cool meta!
            • KathleenTM 28:50 · 2022-04-10T17:31:52.831Z
              WOW that was definitely challenging and I really enjoyed it!
              • JeffPrug 🤓8:08 · 2022-04-10T17:34:27.606Z
                WOW, amazing construction on multiple levels.
                • Laura M 🤓9:16 · 2022-04-10T18:44:55.560Z
                  Agree with everyone about the incredible construction on this one!
                  • Sfull411 🤓3:55 · 2022-04-10T20:17:43.964Z
                    Thanks, Will. You are amazing!
                    • Bird Lives 🤓12:54 · 2022-04-10T20:23:33.908Z
                      Just a bit tricky but logical.
                      • I K Snamhcok 2s · 2022-04-10T21:17:51.333Z
                        Fun! Thanks to my wife. She suggested the “taking”.
                        • SJMcK 🤓5:37 · 2022-04-10T21:26:19.934Z

                          • Bbaack 🤓15:29 · 2022-04-10T22:31:10.032Z
                            This was a lot of fun, especially on a cold windy afternoon. Nicely done!
                            • Capn Rick 🤓14:06 · 2022-04-11T00:45:30.588Z
                              Great puzzle, Will! I figured out step 1 right away, but it took me all day to figure out what to do with the "hints".
                              • Tyrpmom 5s · 2022-04-11T04:03:33.820Z
                                Wow. Wow. Wow.
                                • Cindy Heisler 3s · 2022-04-11T11:01:50.552Z
                                  It took a nudge to make me see I was exploring a rabbit hole. But once I was done digging, it went smoothly. Very nicely done, Will. Thanks!
                                  • Wendy S HeadinHome 🤓21:21 · 2022-04-11T10:41:37.905Z
                                    Well that was creative! I assumed for a long time that “hints” referred to the extra parenthetical words in some of the clues, so for a long time I was trying to make something out of the sixth letter from each of those (GFEIG), or from the sixth spot in those IF you removed all the A-B-C-D-E-F-G letters. Then I realized you couldn’t have used the (normal) word CLUES (rather than HINTS) in part A because of it containing C and E. duh. Fun solve!
                                    • LuckyGuest 5s · 2022-04-11T14:11:32.683Z
                                      Outstanding!!
                                      • DIS 🤓7:06 · 2022-04-11T15:36:56.115Z
                                        Nicely done.
                                        • Jimbo 20:09 · 2022-04-11T15:31:24.161Z
                                          Terrific, definitely worth the effort. It's obvious we all appreciate the effort it took you, as well.
                                          • Louis D 10:11 · 2022-04-11T18:10:11.678Z
                                            Wow. I found step 1 pretty quickly, but I must have tried ten different options for step 2 before stumbling upon the right one...
                                            • Chaddog 3s · 2022-04-11T19:34:05.186Z
                                              Well how clever was that? Very fun, Will! Thanks for the puzzle
                                              • DrTom 4s · 2022-04-12T03:44:26.375Z
                                                Wow, just WOW - REALLY nice piece of construction and clever mechanism. My hat is off to you Will
                                                • William D 7:09 · 2022-04-12T07:53:27.245Z
                                                  Cool!
                                                  • dot 🤓3:46 · 2022-04-13T02:33:23.735Z
                                                    What an intricate meta! We didn't get caught in any rabbit holes, but it took some trial and error to find how to parse the "sixth spots" in the "hints". It required paper and pen in the end. Lots of fun! Thanks, Will & Pandora team! We look forward to next week's challenge
                                                    • MajordomoTom 🤓11:56 · 2022-04-13T02:58:43.381Z
                                                      had a few nudges from Will, wow, and it helps to (a) cross off a G that you know isn't in the 'path' and (b) not ignore an "S" that is in the 'path'. Once I realized that S was there, I then found the right way to it - yes, "challenging", but not a Gaffney week 5, thank heavens.

                                                          It is funny how when your very first idea -an idea you had even before starting the solve- works, a challenging meta becomes one of your fastest solves ever. Great puzzle though, I didn't think the second step would actually work even though the instructions were very clear lol.
