 		 [PUZZLE/META] Season 2 Silver summaries
Here we go again... summaries for the season two silvers to help players decide how much effort they want to put into solving them. There will be no easy answers in this thread but, like last season, what there will be (hopefully) is an indication of the shape of the problem, plus guidance as to whether a card is Reimann-impossible, Polar-frustrating, or capable of being solved by a single player who's prepared to put the work in.

As ever, please PM me with anything you have for the cards that have no summaries yet.

#225: Kidnapped
Awaiting information

#226: The Great Bomb Chase
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Research the relevant information from the web and follow the methodology on the card carefully - the hard part lies in narrowing down the starting options. Credit: Aliendial


#227: Collage
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The key to this card is stripping away the distracting, unnecessary stuff to find a simple and harmonious arrangement.


#228: Neography
Awaiting information

#229: A Piece of History
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There are 10 types of people in the world who understand why the stripes look odd: use them to find a question which the stars will help answer. Credit: Shaph


#230: Sum Other Way
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is a straight-forward card, but you're unlikely to solve it with a pen and paper as the number's too large. However, whipping up your own computer programme to solve it is a practical proposition: the key phrase is "in any order", recursion should help and you can reduce the search-space by considering what the largest possible answer would be if you restricted the concatenation of digits to some length. Credit: Smartyman


#231: The Fruits of the Tree
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The puzzle is about making sense of who and what they are referring to. Once the relation between the creator of life and the birthdays is found, the answer to both questions should be straightforward. Credit: ne0x


#232: Gel Together
Unsolved

#233: Fractured
Awaiting information

#235: How I Wonder
Awaiting information

There's no real hint needed for Bomb Chase - the methodology is spelled out on the card. You just have to collect the relevant information from the web and work it through to figure out where to start each sequence. The hard part is the many different options for starting each sequence. Process of elimination. Or start guessing states, 3 a day.

Cheers - have edited it a little and added it to the main post.
