Oh, duh. I was thinking it was something more math-oriented...

Looks like that gets you to Chapter 2 - and another wait.

Yeah, it was mentioned in the rules.

Each "Release Period" will have five puzzles, and you have to complete them all before the fourth and final "period" begins. The last period will only have one puzzle, but you only get one crack at it.

It will probably take me the remainder of the count down to figure out how you came up with that sequence.... so how did you come up with that?

EDIT: Disregard. Nothing like hiding something in plain sight. Embarassed

We finish the first five puzzles in 15 minutes, and now we have to wait fourteen days for the next chapter?

Swell...

I checked out the bags again and looked at the little triangles. There are 26 rows and 11 columns. At first, I thought that the 'flavor' was encoded there because of the # of columns (11 letters in 'ENTERFLAVOR'). Then, I finally saw the hint on 'doritosthequest'.

I checked out the upside-down triangles and got nowhere. The yellow triangles give some interesting results.

Label each row from the top of the bag 'A-Z'. Then the yellow triangles give 'BIGG UA', 'GOT H A M', 'STRIP'.

Might we have a tie in to the Dark Knight. Only catch is the 'UA'. Dark Knight is a WB film.

It's BIG GUAVA (you missed the 'v')

EDIT: BIG GUAVA, THE STRIP, and GOTHAM are the bags based off magnet0's cipher

BIG GUAVA=TAMPA, THE STRIP=LAS VEGAS, GOTHAM=NYC

I guess now we wait until we need them.

Nice!

Now, anything to make of the numbered, colored triangles on the back of the bags? Nine numbers on each, 1-27 range (3x9) with no repeats.
22 12 17 4 14 6 20 8 9
15 25 2 13 5 10 26 3 1
19 7 21 18 16 24 11 23 27

What about the colored dots on the backside bottom of each bag? There are 24 dots on each with 12 on either side of the spine. The last three in the row of 12 on the left side of the bag have the letters X,Y, and Z beside them. I don't know if this means anything or not.

I'm still stuck on the two circle puzzle. I keep getting two little pieces wrong. If anyone has a hint or strategy for getting the pieces right please let me know.

triangle mystery
three cities

Tampa, Las Vegas, and NYC form a triangle. Probably not much help to y'all. I'm so new I am still trying to register. I got the cryptex, entered the flavor, provided data, and haven't heard anything else.
