okay, so I have all the triangles set in puzzle 3 to where the four larger triangles add to 23, but it's not doing anything... Am I just having a brain fart, or is there a lever or button or something I need to push?

damn it, #3 is enfuriating; I'm not past it yet. My machine lags in the slightest and it selects like three consecutive symbols and I have to start over. And I do all five, get to the sixth and nothing happens. Ack!

What am I doing wrong?

woo! Ok, finally had a few minutes to check out Chapter 2. Just FYI:

Finished puzzle #1 in Ch 2 as #1742, so there are still a lot of people playing. And I am off for the night, so whenever I finish the chapter, we'll see how many people are still slugging behind all you crazy 1am gamers Wink

So, I just went back and did the 5th puzzle from round 2 again, and sure enough if you use the colored triangles from the back of all three bags and the numbers with them, you will get the same answer that we found the other night.

ETA - I finally received the invitation email today.

I just got my invite about 1 minute ago. Apparently, your placement in finishing the puzzles is unimportant. Otherwise, it would be unfair to those who just got the invite today where we have finished 10 puzzles already.

I'd say that the invite is just a way to have more competitors on the field.

Thanks to all who contributed to the puzzle solves. How did you get the screen shots, I tried to post solves, but couldn't save the screen shot. Anyway, realized that I am moving on the Monday morning after chapter 3 launches. Cursing

I guess I will have to catch up later in the week.
