"Don't get stung" is too hard for me, are there hints somewhere when the challenge is completed? I tried to join discord but I am not comfortable sharing my phone number so that's not an option.
2022-03-25 17:52:12 +0000 UTCI'm late/new to this, but this is just awesome. All the puzzles so far were great, but I loved the Carpet Houses. The rules were really intuitive and the solve method was uber thematic. CTC is easily the best value patreon proposition I've come across.
2022-01-28 21:06:35 +0000 UTCThanks to the setters for their Herculean efforts. Finally finished this yesterday. I do admit to cheating on a couple as they were puzzle types I don't really get on with. Now I will try to get my life back, but may suffer withdrawal symptoms.

2022-01-10 14:26:57 +0000 UTCI'd thought it might be something like that, but I'd been looking at the narrower blue sections instead of boxes 1/9. Even with the hint, that puzzle didn't go down easy, but I eventually cracked it, so thanks for your help!

2022-01-02 03:10:07 +0000 UTCIf you list out all the various combinations for X/V/white/black, to determine what combinations of numbers can be ruled out as adjacent due to the negative constraints in Box 1/9, you can eventually determine some numbers that have to be tucked into corners and what surrounds them, which majorly limits the options for the center square, sort of a modified magic square setup. And then using the interaction with the V squares in intersecting row 3 and column 9 you can eventually figure out how to orient the numbers in boxes 1/9.

2022-01-01 19:59:34 +0000 UTCI've thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle hunt, but the 100% challenge has defeated me, largely thanks to Ra's Miracle Squares. How are on earth do you even start that puzzle? At any rate, thanks to all the constructors for their hard work!
