I agree with Aquagility!. What is going on ?

If you have all these puzzles on the go simultaneously wouldn't it be a good idea to concentrate on just one and if you find you are stuck, then make a single post seeking assistance.

In this way you stand a better chance of a reply and you won't hog at least half a page on a busy day.
