Stacie - did you scroll down and click "Solve online"?
Team Mauvelous - Puzzle #99Puzzle #99 has been emailed for Team Mauvelous.
Thanks to one of these puzzles, I learned something new today. Spoiler for those who have *not* completed puzzle 77! (view spoiler)
Sent Puzzle 99 and here's 100 for Pewter Blue:
Done! /phew
I may have to give up on Puzzle 99. Spent 3 hours on it and my eyes are cross-eyed. :)

Well done, Vicky!
Dear Captain Cupcake,I am trying to do some of the older book cover scrambles but for some reason, the book covers are no longer showing up for me on the following puzzles:
#63
#74
Is it possible someone has a copy they could paste somewhere or PM me, if it's not too much trouble?
Thank you!

Fixed. I think. ☺ I have no idea why they disappeared.
Rebecca wrote: "Stacie - did you scroll down and click "Solve online"?"Oh well that would have been smart. Thanks!
What's the deadline for puzzles? I probably missed it.
They are fixed, thank you so much!
Stacie wrote: "What's the deadline for puzzles? I probably missed it."Good news or bad news first? ☺
Deadline for puzzles is end of 7% challenge, which ends in little over 1 hour.
Good news is that for puzzles #97-100 you have one more day. Their deadline is July 20th, 4 P.M. PDT.
Well we will just have to see what I can do in an hour ;)
Stacie wrote: "Well we will just have to see what I can do in an hour ;)"I'll be waiting ☺
Oh, ack! I thought the deadline for all puzzles was July 20th. Eeep. I should have saved puzzles 97-100 for last, LOL!74 has me stumped. Don't recognize it at all. Now, which would be better use of my time - snooping for that or doing a different puzzle, hmmm! (edit: Snooping paid off, hehe).
Argh, missing only 3 from 73. Sooo stumped! Why did I wait so long on this puzzle? LOL!
The 7% Solution is over. Congratulations to all finishers!
Once again, so much fun! Thanks for all the cupcakes!
Puzzle 99 for PMM sent in for PMM - FINALLY :)(I had to do some serious photoshop arranging of the covers to get this one)
Puzzles 98 and 100 for Magenta Mix Up:#98
#100
Sorry, Joanne♥. The pieces on #100 are 100, not 20.
Baroness Blue wrote: "I really enjoyed the "Spot the Difference" story. Thank you for that."Glad you all had fun. I'll be posting a poll in the "sister group" asking which type of puzzles were your favorites.
97 Done and Emailed for Forest Green!

Well done Barbara, but I can't count it since it's posted after the challenge is finished.
Only puzzles #97-100 (Blues & Pinks) got extended time for solving.
Sorry!
How long do we have to complete the last 4?

No worries.
I believe all those who did Discussion Questions (DQs) for BOMs and "buddy reads" have been posted on the Cupcake Spreadsheet. If I missed anyone, please let me know. There were a lot of "buddy reads" - of various types - this month.
Also, though the 7% Solution Challenge is over, the Mods tell me that they will allow me to continue to grant a cupcake to anyone doing DQs on BOMs or BRs until the August Challenge starts.
Yay!
Since there seems to have been a miscommunication on the importance of some cupcakes, we will allow all Teams to do (or finish) the last four puzzles (#97, #98, #99, and #100), if you do them before the end of July.
Remember, you have to finish all four to turn them into "bouncing" cupcakes.
The first of that four starts here.
TEAM WILD BLUE YONDER - Puzzle 100

TEAM WILD BLUE YONDER - Puzzle 98 
Kinda a drag that the pieces wounldnt pick up easy
Mod
Drat!
Gwendolyn, if you click a piece and then click a spot on the screen where you want the piece to go, the piece will show up there. You'll still have to wiggle it into place if you get as close to where you want it, but it beats clicking and dragging all across the screen. Inevitably, I lose "grip" and have to re-click and drag. Well, until I realized that nifty click-click trick.

I found out on the very last jigsaw, completely by accident. I clicked a piece, it highlighted and then I accidentally clicked the side of the screen and bam, puzzle piece flew to cursor. Took some finessing to get it to land close to where it fits into the puzzle, but it made life easier. I should have shared this tidbit sooner! Not that it was much sooner, given it was the last puzzle. Still, maybe I have revolutionized jigsaws for the next challenge!!!
