I think things just got confusing with all the 'is this right?' posts. So far, the two solved mini puzzles are LEARN and 3454, right?
So that leaves the launches, the calendar, the postcard, the mountains, and the cards on the right border. I don't know if anyone asked about the answer to those, but it seems to me that it must be 3-1, 1-4.
Other than those, I'm still floundering around!

Just so we are all clear on this...stargazer sent a screen shot from May 2nd. It was BEFORE I agreed to confirm mini puzzles. 3454 was mentioned in the post. But the conversation on the boards at that time was about the clue I released on May 1st, and how things were linked together. I wrote that stargazer was not correct, meaning that his theory (explanation) was incorrect. At that time, I was not confirming mini puzzle answers. I feel this has been taken out of context. I think I will be less of a presence from here on out. As far as the mini puzzles go, I have confirmed two. I think most people who are paying attention know what to look for now. I just want you to know that we have been having so much fun with this puzzle. You have been great on this forum, so please know that we are very supportive of you and what you are doing. This is supposed to be fun, and I hope you are still having as much fun as we are. I think I speak for the majority. Just wanted you to know.

Same from other people who have been paying attention and have spent hundreds of hours on it so far. We have been enjoying the hunt and the forum, so thank you Beth. Do others really expect Beth to give away the solve when it's obvious no work has been put in? FYI-random guesses and getting an attitude with the creator are not part of the thrill of the hunt.

Yes and half of the mountain puzzle, but not sure which half. The # grid does nothing for me I would have much rather had confirmation on the mountains bc there are multiple answers...was appreciative of the "B" source hint until someone else had one different than mine, haha. I have some theories, think I'm on to something, then find something that nullifies everything I previously though...oh well, back to searching for another "ah-ha" moment...on that note I now have "Take On Me" running through my head as I try to solve this puzzle.......

First off, the reason I took it offline was to be respectful of Beth and her hunt and not to put her on the spot publicly for the misunderstanding. I am quite taken aback that she would feel it necessary to write anything about it on here.
But I guess since that’s what we’re doing - Beth, in response to your email. The confusion came from your post stating that the solution was not posted on the boards - a post which did not clarify that you were only referencing anything before May 12th. So yes, I thought you meant NO post on this thread was correct. I attempted to take your directly shooting down my response with a grain of salt but I have to say - this is ridiculous. Publicly shaming a person who is attempting your puzzle is also disrespectful and should not be tolerated. I made a donation to join in this hunt like everyone else on here. To my knowledge, I did not insult you in this process. And to answer your question from the email “what was I supposed to do?” Nothing - the answer is nothing. I did not post the original (prior to May 12th) message as a question directly to you but more as trying to start a discussion on a topic - I wanted to read other’s opinions about. The fact that you took that as a direct question - there’s nothing I can do about that. I think the only thing you could have done was maybe clarify in your latter post that nothing after May 12th was correct. That would have been helpful. Or, maybe started another thread on this topic? These are some possibilities.
I’m still shocked that you would feel it necessary to do such a thing on this forum when clearly we had taken this offline. And after my helping you with other things in the past - just in shock and insulted. This was definitely unfair of you.

I know - the mountains are confusing. I think I have Mercedario, but again, just a guess right now.
I think she said somewhere that zero is not a number in this puzzle, so I guess we can rule out any that include a zero.
What are you getting for Kang Yatze? I have seen 20,997, 21,000, and 21,312. If zero is not a number, that leaves 21,312. Unless I misunderstood what she said or if there are more values I've missed. I also have been going on the assumption we are looking at feet and not meters. But you know what they say about assumptions LOL!
Still lost though- drowning in numbers!

I think the 'no zeroes' only referred to the number pyramid solution. That's how I interpreted it. Edit: I’ve changed my mind - I think no zeros apples to all numbers now 😁

You do not know me or how much time I have spent on this hunt. Do not presume that I was expecting anything from the creator of this hunt. I was, however, expecting a comradery from my fellow hunters and to be part of an open discussion but clearly that will be impossible to obtain while people would rather suck up to the creator instead. Thank you for your opinion but remember it is just that. Good luck on your hunt.

Everyone has to remember something. When you have any.kind of discussion via a post or message, you're missing the ability to talk to someone in person. There is no body language, inflection, eye contact, tone of voice, etc. so it's easy to misinterpret what is meant.
I did not take stargazer's post as having an attitude with the creator. I think it was a valid question.
But I also did not take genericblend's response as publicly shaming, but rather as publicly answering a question that more people than one might have been wondering since the question was posted publicly. I appreciated knowing the answer.
A good rule of thumb for me is to assume no offense is meant.

I got mine from: www.bielefeldt.de/hohebergee2KA.htmI used this one bc it uses the z spelling as opposed to the s for Kang Yatze. The Mercedario lined up the same on Britannica though, however I couldn't find a Kang Yatz(s)e reference. My elevations are both 2-300 ft different than pugdaisy's though. The problem with the bielefeldt source is that it lists the elevation only in meters. Beth confirmed that one of the feet numbers is correct, which is why I thought britannica is the correct B source (it lists in feet).

Beth confirmed that one of the feet numbers is correct, which is why I thought britannica is the correct B source (it lists in feet). True, I ended up converting it to feet bc I wasn't sure which was used. You would think, since there are multiple sources and multiple elevations (some by a few hundred feet) that she would use the same source - I couldn't find Kang Yatze in the Britanica site - there's a chance I overlooked it, but I search for both spellings. This one had both mountains and the z spelling...However both of our Mercedario #s were the same, so maybe my Kang Yatze is off (I believe there are two of them so that could explain the difference in elevations.) She said half of hers was correct, so I'm assuming our M is correct, and her KYz is. I don't yet see how this is supposed to be obvious, unless it ties in somehow with the calendar.

Me too, I don't see what the elevations mean. Same for the number pyramid answer.
When I searched I found the same number for Kang Yatze in all sources: 21312. It's Mercedario that had the numbers all over the place.

Completely stuck. Any idea when we might get another clue?
