is it standalone?

The MPC, very specifically, marketed them as "standalone boxes." Whether that's a red herring for US or not remains to be seen, but no further puzzles have been found as of this date.

+1 here. I was prepared to enter this volume with gusto and to be there from the beginning to delve into the mystery alongside with all that I have met in this forum. I was hoping for a spirited discussion of the findings and layers that I had read about for previous C&C packages. I received puzzles that were much easier than previous issues and while I have seen some interesting and possible side streets to explore, I worry that these are just red herrings that will lead nowhere. I had great expectations but those seem to be fading fast, which is a pity, and I can only hope that there is more in store for C&C.

I wrote them with my thoughts - basically that I was disappointed with the lack of complexity in and number of puzzles as well as indicating that the paper craft in every issue seemed like dust-collecting overkill. I was very nice about it and indicated how much I love it and how long I'd subscribed, etc. but that it seemed like they were watering it down a little, essentially.

I got a pretty basic form response back from someone indicating that they'd pass my comments along - and they got my name wrong. So, for what it's worth.

I sent some polite feedback to MPC about my disappointment with the lack of harder puzzles and received a nice reply back which I will quote here:

We highly value feedback! As we shift and flow through our first years, we are going though necessary growing pains, we can only make decisions based on the responses of people like you. I will forward your words to the appropriate people, and I sincerely hope we do better for you next time.

I hope others will also send their feedback, so that MPC gets a better picture of what the subscribers want.

I contacted MPC but have yet to receive any type of response.
