Okay...this seems really silly, but I always get the medium and hard puzzles and have the hardest time with the easy ones! I just need a small hint....thanks
The symbols on the bottom the for note are male and female, you have find the branch that matches up. Start at the bottom and work your way to the top.
so, it would go male, female, male, female, male, male...from bottom to top...right? Got that. I am assuming the six words will give me a clue to the red tint...Maybe I'm just reading too much into this. I can make a souffle, but I can't make pie crust! One more hint....

puzzle 19 Nightowl - I had a harder time with this 'easy' puzzle, even with the hints, than all the others - trying too hard! I found this forum when I searched the web for the answer. What I did not realize is that you do not black out all the names and leave one - the one at the top of the matching branch is the answer.

Thank you! Finally figured it out. Can't wait for next week.

I almost always overthink these puzzles. The creator only uses 2 steps most of the time and I am always reminding myself that the solutions are easier than they seem.

Anyone out there working on that one yet?

I've looked at both of them for a while. Nothing is coming to mind. Missing vowels? For 23????

working on several angles...the larger letters sprinkled in the note.
"bridging the gap"
"Count things out" possibly a a ROT cypher?

I thought the same thing...no solution yet. I even thought maybe the unusual caps in the blue handwritten words...but nothing yet.

I am assuming that only the words on the far right hand side are relevant to the answer. Looking across... But, then, again, I could be wrong.
