(It will be as it was in the 7% Solution Challenge, however, we need to edit the words to read the August Challenge.)Any cupcakes you earn throughout Round II can be use in the Mod Challenges of Round II.
Under spoiler to save space.~ What is the “bouncing” cupcake? ~
A new cupcake is coming,
so keep your eyes wide!
This new cupcake is bouncing,
with pep and with pride!
To earn it, your sharp eyes
will have to look close,
to spot all differences
in multiple puzzles we post!
Those big books, the thick ones,
with so many pages...
with this cupcake they'll count more.
It'll double their wages!

We'll start off slow, to feed your need.
But soon post something to ponder.
PUZZLE #101: - Six piece Slider puzzle is here. (June's "series read & watch" of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ) - Okay to post in thread. Please take a screen print and show the "Very good, you win." box. Please do NOT just post the bookcover.
There's a new cupcake coming.
It's mad and it's bad.
Some of you will be humming.
Some of you will be glad.
It's called the "Triple Threat"
And as it's name implies...
While it isn't a sure bet,
It increases your book count size.
Could someone please let me know if the link to the August Cupcake spreadsheet is working. Thanks.

B'dazzled Blue: Puzzle #101, 102, 108, 111, & 112: Submitted by Zara
Can you believe I completely forgot that puzzles would be starting today?? Boy, have I been preoccupied today. Of course, the first being a slider means I am just here to pester people for a sec, hehe!
Next, to make you smile.PUZZLE #102: - Fourteen piece Slider puzzle is here . - 14 pieces (August BOMs) - Okay to post in thread. Please take a screen print and show the "Very good, you win." box. Please do NOT just post the bookcover.
Another layout, a sideways slider.
You ask if it is worth your while?
Maybe a grin two "chunksters" wider?
Nope. Not a 'Triple Threat.'
But never fret.
Just want to whet,
Your appetite, yet!
Yes. This puzzle is worth two "bouncing" cupcakes.
Ugh. My computer is strange. When I hit print screen it copies only the winner's box and not the finished puzzle. Can my proof be in two separate pics, one of the box and one of the puzzle?
I don't know if my computer is just weird, but I can't get the website to open.

I thought the mods were taking a vacation in August? I didn't expect more puzzles this month ...
Neither of the sliders will open for me in Chrome. I'll check them in another browser ASAP.

I could possible be a fraud.
While I'm not as lofty as some helpful Peers of the Realm.
Once or twice, I've taken hold of a helm.
Still, for August Cupcake Puzzles, there will be a ration.
As Captain Cupcake will be on a partial vacation.
I'll post only on Tuesdays and Fridays.
So, there won't be too much of a puzzle craze.
Here is the first 'Triple Threat.'
It is something different, you can bet.
In this one, a "M" or an "R" must occur in a word.
Don't bother with any that are too absurd.

Captain Cupcake, On Puzzle #103 22 and 23 both have the same hint, is that intentional?

I love that you came up with a poem for your response. Oh, to be in the mind of Captain Cupcake.

Yes, it is. :D
One more question. :s Is there supposed to be an R in the wheel?
Does the letter M have to be in the middle of the word?Also, there is at leas one three letter word - can we use it or if there are more words for 4 letters, etc?
Vicky wrote: "One more question. :s Is there supposed to be an R in the wheel?"Um, yes. Who stole my R?
Let's say for the time being that that M in big circle is R. :D
Captain Cupcake wrote: "Um, yes. Who stole my R?Let's say for the time being that that M in big circle is R. :D"
LOL!
That doesn't change the required letter, does it?
do we get partial credit for the words we find or do we need to find all of them?
Nancy wrote: "Does the letter M have to be in the middle of the word?Also, there is at leas one three letter word - can we use it or if there are more words for 4 letters, etc?"
No, M doesn't have to be in the middle of the word. M in the middle of the circle has to be in every word you use.
I don't understand second part of your question. There are at least 4 three-letter words. If you find more even better.
You need to find at least:
1 two-letter
4 three-letter
15 four-letter
19 five-letter
7 six-letter
If you find more, that's great.
Did that answer your question?
