I am going to keep scores. Maximum of 30 points, will have a leaderboard here. Answers, PM me, and I will check each evening when I get a chance to. Might help to show some work so I can see if I have erred somewhere.

Five puzzles. Some easy. Some hard. No instructions. I might be trolling you. Or not.
Look for fps. That is Flame puzzle series.

Cryptic as fuck... I might send these to my kids. (Math major in college and student at a math and science academy in high school) They have a better chance of figuring them out than me...

You don't have to start with first puzzle, btw.

I have stared at each of these to find the patterns and can't. I'm assuming that each is an independent puzzle that you don't need the others to solve, right?

Right.

One more thing: you may form teams.

Eliahad just got puzzle 3. 3 points!

Flame, I took the liberty of adding links to the puzzles in your first post. I am getting nowhere so far, but I keep coming back to these, and I want them to be easy to find as they get pushed further down the page.

Thanks! Tough to make links on phone here, so it's much appreciated.

Poorpete gets partial credit for puzzle 1! 1 point!

I'll take it!

Asking:

Are you guys still working on this? Do you want to open up each problem for discussion on October 1st, where you all can work together on each puzzle to some degree?

October 1st! I am opening this up, and everyone can discuss freely. Anyone who participates gets points!

I love the comments. You guys are on a verge there.
