Fantastic sleuthing kieto, Pictish and pia!!!

If the "prize" is splittable in three pieces, you are all equally well deserving.

Tidbit- The chosen passage from Psalm 111 has Ta-da! 111 letters.

A well thought out puzzle with several layers. Kudos to the PM.

Alright, so, progress.

I messaged E.Nigma with the word

[kieto]

So...the above massive spoiler is counted as a 'solve'.
I got almost everything, and only missed one thing, which E. Nigma did let me know. I won't put hints to the last thing specifically, in case people are having fun trying to solve that challenge.

I won a prize...

Would someone else please claim it? I'm moving out of my house relatively soon, starting a new phase of my life. I may not actually be contactable in about three weeks or so. Since the package will be travelling internationally - I'm in NZ - it may not actually reach me. It would be best appreciated by someone else. Could someone else - Pictish? Pia? Booba? please claim the prize? Or at least give me a name I can refer E.Nigma to/through/on from, so he knows it's my choice to pass the prize on?

Well, she is.

That being the case, Pictish, please let me know if you'd like the prize? I'll let E. Nigma know to send it on to you...I'm sure he has your address from a previous puzzle solve?

Edit: Shad, you're not a moron. It's understandable. I missed out one thing though. You're actually in a position to find that last thing. It's a final confirmation of why that name was the correct answer. E.Nigma's got a few new posts up, one of them has the hint.

Edit 2: Does the congratulations message from E.Nigma normally contain clues to the next puzzle? Because I'm sitting on a document that he sent me. I don't know whether it's relevant or not. If you think it is, I'll post what's in the message...but it doesn't seem to say that much.

Well done everyone! And congrats Pictishwitch

Wow, look what happens when I stay up late trying to solve a puzzle, then have to go to sleep!

I messaged Edward at 2 a.m. PST with the answer (right after posting it here), then went to bed. I woke up about an hour ago to his message to explain fully, then I checked here to find that kieto had taken the information and run with it. Fantastic job, kieto! I never even thought about the significance of that pointy star graphic!

To redeem myself, I have found the final hint.

I state formally that I am ceding the prize to Pictishwitch.

I've said as much to Edward in a private message, and he's confirmed that statement with Pictish.

No, E.Nigma's post, about sliding in at the last, was posted right after I sent him a message with the fairy's name. He put up that post at the same time that he sent me the message asking me to explain everything.

In that sense, I'm the one who slid in at the last.

In terms of the timeline of people sending in the answers, he'd had your answer for weeks and weeks, and Pictish had just sent in the answer. I don't know about pia or booba, they might have had the answers in as well. You guys just hadn't explained enough, fast enough.

I only 'won' because I did my explanation really quickly after sending him the answer. If I'd gone to bed, Pictish would have won first place.

Re: Callum Felderi

Part of it is probably the lack of something else to solve, so you're going in circles mentally about how you could have. Hindsight = 20/20, after all.

Is that all there is to solve, by the way?

And now we wait for the next puzzle?

Re: Callum Felderi

[kieto]

Well, we've got to decide on a time / place to meet up with Lucy / Callum, and discuss the next step.

Pictish, did you write the thing about WORDPRESS, or does that P.W. stand for Password?

I just left a message on that ywot.

Edit: Never mind, next riddle's up.
