I am going through the pages working on the ones I can do then trying to go back and complete the individual pages - rather than concentrating on a page at a time
That seems like a perfectly sensible approach - I was able to complete most of the letter sudoku puzzles like that, and clearly the mazes can be done relatively early. There comes a point, however, where you need answers from earlier pages to be able to even begin tackling some later puzzles...

I'm with Pat. I do what I know how to the end. Then, I go back and try the ones I have problems with.
I am completely impressed by the inventor of this puzzle. What kind of a mind does it take to make these jumps and make the different puzzles work together. I've only managed to Extract 14 letters. I am sure the other 12 are in there somewhere, but where is the question.
Awesome work! You sould charge more for the experience. It was well worth the 19 pounds it cost to get to this side of the globe! I've had more fun with this than other puzzles that have cost loads more.
Although, I'd like to strangle you everytime I attempt the Babel!

although i am working on other pages - i keep getting the keyword at the top of page 5 wrong - I thing I'm going to sink the boats - so the romans have to go by lan d!
I do all the puzzles I can on all the pages as I learn how to do them (letter sums at the moment) I have asked for a nuclear strike to be aimed at the Tower of babel and hopefully the fall out will sink the ships and hit the forum.

I do a page at a time. Except for 13 & 14 which I kind of did together coz I got a bit held up on P13.
Cheers. BB.

I try to do all on a page as well, wandering on to the next page if I get stuck for too long. I like the variety doing it that way, but I can see that doing all of one kind at a time means you learn the tricks of the puzzle quicker!

Having completed the circular tours on pages 13 and 16 this morning I was just beginning to enjoy them, but there don't seem to be any more. Ho hum on with the letter sums.

I just continue to be VERY impressed by the quantum leap in complexity from one page to the next. This whole thing is just SO WELL thought out.
Cheers. BB.
