seekingferretLast month I got together a local team to compete in the Galactic Puzzle Hunt, an online puzzle hunt run by a team that competes in the Mystery Hunt. It was a lot of fun, and it was really nice to be able to puzzle socially without having to travel. I suggested afterward that we keep up the fun by meeting up to work on the bimonthly Panda Magazine puzzle set, and everyone agreed, so we're doing that a week from Sunday.
But I got overexcited and bought the magazine subscription early, and accidentally got access to the March Panda, so I've been working on it by myself when I have bits of time. I've solved all but two of the puzzles over the past week, and just cracked the meta a few minutes ago. They have been really satisfying puzzles to solve. Foggy has a great aesthetic sense for how to design enjoyable puzzles.
EDIT AND... with the meta solved, was able to backsolve the last two puzzles in ten minutes. :D Yay, first solo solve of a Panda!
