Don't get me started, Alex. If you have the materials, please go back and read the instructions and follow them precisely. I believe you would never be able to solve that puzzle.
But, when we decided that (heh, not for the first time) the wording must be wrong, we had no problem ... and the puzzle was the most fun.
edited to add:
Although .... we, too, somehow got thru quest one with - apparently - the wrong answers, so the advent puzzle was a bit of a mess until we realized that and did some further experimenting.
In a game where I found it constantly possible to get to the next stage without correct answers to the previous one ... I think it's less than stellar form to make players rely on answers to previous quests in a new quest.
In this particular case, it wasn't like we automatically proceeded to the next step ... an MA staffer told us we got the Main Street quest answer correct ... and so it's sort of unfortunate that we somehow got the correct answer with all the wrong pieces. But, having been "blessed" officially, it took a loooooong time to second-guess ourselves.
Bah.
that was for CP
