As of this morning I have not received a correct submission. And I am letting those who have submitted know I haven't seen the answers in the format expected. I can guess that some of you might know 2 out of 3 answers but I haven't seen anyone figure out the way to enter them into the form yet. I do not want you to repost the puzzle back to me. Hopefully that helps guide you on submissions.

No disrespect, retro, but using abstract riddle results in decipherment, and requiring exact format of responses seems anti-solver.
P.S. I haven't emailed anything. You did ask for feedback on the puzzle though.
Thanks very much for the puzzle. Still trying to work it.

Enjoying the puzzle! To help with the answer format could you say how many characters are expected?

I appreciate the feedback and I am taking it all in to make the next puzzle, titled The Machine, better. That said I will be interested if you hold this same view when this puzzle is fully known. |

"I appreciate the feedback and I am taking it all in to make the next puzzle, titled The Machine, better. That said I will be interested if you hold this same view when this puzzle is fully known."
Sounds intriguing, as if everything becomes clearer at the end. I'll try putting my thinking cap on.
Thanks retro!

Just a quick note. I added a username/display name field to the submission form for the gauntlet. I am putting together an idea to have a leaderboard and would need a username so I don't publish your emails. So as you submit solutions please include your forum username or twitter name or whatever you want to show up on the future leaderboard. I will need your name to hand out the imaginary points that eventually might lead to real prizes.
