I don't believe it, but I got my copy today as well. That has to be a first, the U.S. people getting it the same day as the "locals". Looks nice and challenging. I love the Full Year prize for Year One, though I'm astonished by something. My numbered copy of the Full Year Prize is 96/100, so it seems that most of them were given away. But then my Winter Prize was...2/100. Something doesn't seem to add up. I assume this isn't part of the metapuzzle.  |

Quite possibly, Jack stacked them up while numbering, and you received the 5th one from the top, which would have been 96/100. |

All right, I confess to being a bit baffled by i and ii. I have reflected i and gotten some secret words from doing so. But now, I've been trying to rearrange the drawers in ii and am coming up empty. A nudge would be most welcome. It's always the pesky i and ii pages! |

I’ve gotten as far as vi...but I’m having trouble with some categories |

I'm giving out a lot of the same hints so.... if you've already caught the trick for (i) and are looking at (ii) which wolf? There are two wolves a corner wolf and a...?
breaking down the instructions The hyphen is a break separating two instructions
what are we trying to do you're looking to form one continuous line that snakes around the boxes
what about the little arrows? the mini arrows are for the next step, solve the drawers first letters and numbers the letters and numbers are part of the cabinet - they don't move with the drawers |

Great hints! For my part, I've started translating (vi), have done BONEDUST, WILLOW and SILENCE sections so far, hope to get time to do another few today.

Yup that's how it seems to work. I'm having trouble with Truth and Recovery in (iv) The jump from (vi) to (vii) is going to be interesting too |

Well, I've given up on iv for now; been trying for a day to understand the connection between it and iii and am at an impasse. But started translating vi and I have to commend Jack on not having the runes match up precisely with each other, like an E in one section isn't the same rune in a different section. At first I was confused, but then kept in mind the description of the book being written by different authors at different time periods and presumably in different languages that use the same letters/runes. An excellent touch!

my pet theory/headcannon for (iv): There's a 24th category (051-054) on Invisibility otherwise, try different sorts of solutions |

For (iv) Put the list in numerical order.... then notice that each group of three (plus one group of two) are connected... ...and assign each group to one room. You are looking for the book from (iii), which room is it in? |

I'd also point out that you really one need to decipher one of the riddles on vi in order to solve vii. |
