I need a little clarification - Is it just 1 cupcake per team no matter how many members do the puzzle?
Mod
Yes, Rhonda, since every Team has a different number of players. However, in the future, we may work out some sort of percentage.
Dear Rhonda, I'll answer
your question put forth
many people may answer
but one cupcake each is worth!
(so yes just 1 cupcake per team)

Puzzle #30 for Purple Mountain's Majest
I can't figure out how to do a screenshot. I see directions on Ehow but it's saying to click the edit button but I don't have an edit button anywhere on the completed puzzle page or on my bar up top.ETA: I missed the part where it says hit the print screen & open MSPaint. But when it says to hit the Paste button and say yes to enlarge bit map, paint doesn't ask me that. It asks me where I want to copy from and just brings up my saved pictures.
On your keyboard, the print screen button is usually next to the scroll lock button. You press that and it takes a shot of your screen like you see in the pictures here. You just paste in that in the paint program and save it as a picture.
I got that part. But it won't put the screenshot into paint so I can save it. It wants me to pick a file to choose a pictures to paste into the document it opens.
Mary, once you've pushed Print Screen, open paint and then press CTRL + V. That should paste it, then you can save it.
I tried that and nothing. The paste tab opens a drop down menu and the only option I can click is "paste from" the other options are all grayed out and unuseable. The "paste from" tab just brings up my saved pictures but the screen shot isn't on there. Is this a firefox issue?
I dunno, but someone posted a how to about Firefox on the first page of this thread :)
Its probably not a firefox issue. Because I am using firefox and the only time everything is greyed out in paint is if I didn't press that button so there is nothing to paste. Can you see if you can paste it in a word document just to see your print screen button is working fine and its not that issue.
On some keyboards, you have to hold the CTRL or FN (function) keys down while you push Print Screen or the Print Screen button won't do anything. Maybe that's the issue?
I'll try that. It didn't work on IE either. In fact my whole computer was locked up on IE until I hit the OK button on the "you win" tab.
Mod
OK well I figured out how to get onto Paint then I don't have a photobucket account and don't really want one. So I tried the TinyURL thing and I can't figure out what to put into it to create the tiny URL. It tells me the web address is invalid. I give up.

Prove you're NOT a robot by answering a security question.
Select the top choice HTML for Websites.
If you choose that one, no html is required here. Just paste!
Oh sure, a jigsaw puzzle and "it doesn't work yet!" Harrumph!Hehehe.
Yay for Imke doing a slider for us!! *high fives Imke*
Well can't expect Captain Cupcake to do that many on the first day, or too much currency will flood the market and cause inflation, reducing the value of the cupcakes!!! Omg my MBA made me annoying!
*snort* Watch it, or I'm stuffing Captain Cupcake into a duffel bag. (I'll even use my special library-only bag).Don't worry, I'll leave him a few books to keep him occupied.

Hey, he even picked your book cover, that I think you said in some thread somewhere you liked that cover? for a slider puzzle! :P
He can't be all bad!
LOL! I Never said he was all that bad. I just said shush because you got all economical on me, LOL!! <3and Yay for my cover! Well, not *my* cover but you know, the book I read, LOL.
More jigsaws are in the works,along with more word puzzles...
and a few new types of games as well :)
Such a tease. What if they appear while I sleep??
Don't worry, they'll still be waiting when you wake up.Besides, Captain Cupcake is probably only going to post two per day, maybe three some days, as we don't want 49 days worth of more cupcakes than that... for the economical reasons that Steven guy so logically provided!
Here's a hint: some of them might be... cryptic!
What a cryptic hint!Dun dun dun.....
I don't kn ow how to put the pic up....but I put the link :) I got it :)
Hubby just explained what I was doing wrong (and yes it was me!) when I was trying to capture a screen shot. So simple.
The website has been weird for me today. The empty slider box doesn't remain empty. Like this:
The top left box should remain empty. It's confusing me and I'm skipping the second.
Just some easy tile fun…
As the day’s begun.
You’ll have to see if it’s been spun,
When all is said and done.
PUZZLE #31
~ Bookcover Tile Scramble ~
Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to ratminichallenges@gmail.com With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are on, though I have most of you memorized!
You don't have to make a copy of the unscrambled bookcover. Just sent the name of the book and the author.
Egads. I don't recognize that one at all. *does some crafty investigating*
