Ok...since I have 46% with Sheckles and I haven't seen the stock market puzzle, I have to guess that the puzzles are given to each of us in random order. Also, carlwebb mentions the "numbers separated by commas" puzzle as being the second puzzle when it was my fourth.

Now that that's out of the way...

For carlwebb's number/comma puzzle:

The stock market puzzle isn't actually one of Stanley's. It's one of Nickolas's -- or at least it was for me.

EDIT: Thanks, pucks! The hint was just the right nudge.

This is probably just a wierd happening. But, according to Stanley, Madame Z's full name would be Madame Zanzibar. i Googled it and came to Amazon, which brought me to a book written by a guy named Clint McCown. Same last name as the war guy that Stanley was repping. 'Madame Zanzibar' is a character in one of Clint McCowns books. i thought i would mention it, in case anyone sees anything more than a mere coincidence.

Well that's interesting. I'm wondering how valuable it would be to pick that book up now.

Almost as much as I'm wondering if anyone else would show up on a Google search...

Well, a quick search seemed less fruitful

Last night I had about 56% on Sheckles. When I logged on today it had jumped to 100% and this was in the conversation log which backs up Anton's notes:

I had 6%, now got 100% too, but can only access the first puzzle. I get all of the conversation though, including the reply, so some coordination wuth the questions is in order I think?

I've asked what he can tell us about the ghosts, and how they died

Although I am now 100% on this (as is everybody else I assume) and I don't actually need to solve the puzzles, I would still like to!

Did anybody do the peacock feather puzzle and if so could you give me a hint
