Just a quick question...puzzle #138 isn't showing up in the spreadsheet as having been completed. I'm sure I did it and got a response (I even double-checked my email) and I'm wondering if it got lost among the crowd :). Should I re-submit it? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the spreadsheet?

Our apologies.

It's fine! I submitted several puzzles that day, so it probably just got overlooked :). Thank you for checking!

Nevertheless, I must end here, to get this to rhyme.

For puzzle 147, if I only do the jigsaw puzzle, do I get partial cupcakes? ;)
Vanessa wrote: "For puzzle 147, if I only do the jigsaw puzzle, do I get partial cupcakes? ;)"Yep. ☺
Since you get 3 cupcakes for them, I'm giving 2 for first one (it doesn't matter if it's jigsaw or slider).
But remember that this is series puzzle - if you don't have everything solved, your cupcakes will never become bouncy :(
That said, you still have till end of October to solve them so there is plenty of time. ☺
Maybe someone else on your team likes sliders?
