[bear66]

Anyone making any progress? Managed 5 of the 8 so far but three hard ones left!

I couldn't even find puzzle 2.

If that isn't a joke . . . Link

I can see the portrait on the second page. I just can't find a puzzle.

This is it and the answer is . . .

Do you have to solve them in order, for them to make sense? (Just had a quick glance at the first, but haven't moved on).

No. From the answers I've got so far I've no idea what the collection of answers is leading to. The answers will presumably have to be put in order at the end.

I havent done the quicz yet but I assume the dashes in the second image refer to letters from the first passage. The dots refer to each letter in the passage, and the dashes also refer to letters which should be taken out and, I assuem produce a word.

They do.

They do.

Cheers bear, I wil lhave a look at this over the weekend, quiz 1 and 2 were easy enough, but as I understand it they get tougher and tougher. I am working today, so whilst I will have time to rage at other posters I don't agree with, I haven't got time to do a quiz... Go figure that.

For those who've never heard of this but have time to kill WFH... can someone briefly explain?

GCHQ have a publicly available quiz, stated as the hardest quiz they have ever published. It's worth a look if you have time. It will while away a few hours, if you have them YT, now get back to work!

Five are easyish. But they reckon it would take a whizz kid 7 hours to solve the whole puzzle.

If you complete it you'll be arrested as a spy.

You really don't want that, I worked for GCHQ my placement year from uni. It's about as stressful as you can get in a job, short of a soldier in a war zone or, maybe, a surgeon.
