Which clue are you finding the hardest? & general questions?

[mali]

I thought I would create this thread so we can discuss which of the clues you are working on, find simple or difficult? ....Maybe offer tips, ideas and theory's! 
(I have put our answers in the (brackets).)

Are you doing the clues in order? or Picking which You like the most?         (We started doing them in order, but that's changed now!)

Have you found they get harder as you go along?                                     (We have found them the same so far but haven't done them in order)

What poem gave your best 'a-ha' moment?                                                (# 1 - such a good start , 1st one we studied and 1st one we solved!)

Which poem are you working on now? or do you switch between a few?        (We have picked one each and swap ideas)

It would be great to get a chat to maybe share our ideas and thoughts!

I have not been doing them in order. I find that I'll chip away at one for awhile, but at some point I hit a wall and then move on to another one. Then I'll go back to ones I've worked on previously and sometimes the answer just pops out at me. I'm always seeing things I missed during the first go-round or seeing things from a new perspective.

I haven't been doing them in order, but I don't get the feeling that the earlier ones are necessarily easier than the later ones. In fact, as I work through them it's easier to see patterns and the methods the author uses of leaving clues, so in that way they have gotten easier over time.

I quite enjoyed #4 and #11, but seeing a hunch pan out is always exciting!

I'm about halfway through and switch regularly between all the ones I have remaining. A couple of times I've been working on a particular poem and looking at a location and something will remind me of something I saw in a different poem. That's happened a couple of times, so I think there's some benefit in trying to keep an eye on everything at once.

I'm curious as to how everyone organizes their solutions/thoughts/research? I use Microsoft OneNote. I used to use Excel to keep treasure hunt notes organized but I like OneNote way better for its searching capability. What do you all use?

I started doing them in order. And kind of wanted to so just to looking forward to solving one at a time but I think in this chase you can pretty much solve them in any order, all you need are 24 letters and a key word. The 24 letters will not ( i think) be in order. A x

I don't think it matters what order we do them, we just need to right location and object.
With some of the puzzles it feels like the object is easy but others it could be a few.
I think there is a lot in the images to confuse us.
