There's no hate (not on my part anyway) and I resent my valid objections being described in this way. Disbelief, confusion, consternation and a general feeling of unease and sadness that so many have failed to adhere to the spirit of the hunt and demonstrated a clear lack of sportsmanship, yes but definitely not hate though, that's a very strong word.
As an autistic individual, rules are incredibly important to me, and I struggle with people bending or flouting the rules as it's unfair, and even more troubling, feels like a sort of anarchy which is extremely unsettling. This has informed my view of the activity that has gone on here, but I don't hate anyone, I just don't really understand it and it makes me sad and kind of makes me wish I'd never even heard of this competition.

What's doubly unfair is that many of my posts have been deleted, from a forum which actually disallows this type of thread within the rules anyway.

Thank you! This was nagging me. It's actually quite literal. The second line is just kind of filler. I think they should have used the second line to confirm the theme. The second riddle is more satisfying in this regard.

I think rhyming with mixed is difficult so I see how it ended up as it is

From reading through these posts, I now have the three words from the clues, but I don't understand how the second line of the first clue leads to the correct answer.

The third clue just doesn't make sense at all to me.

I see the first line of clue 1 as referring to a deck of cards and a chess board, which gives me a choice of two common answers.

I now see "on notes they lie" as meaning banknotes, but can't get the meaning of "with clubs they hit".

Finally got to the slithery end of the quest (hopefully).

I can confirm that a coin bought after 11th March does not have the words on the edge… No Royal Mint, you can't have it back unless you are paying 250gms of gold for it 🤣
That "Look at the edge" quest was a doozy without the text on the coin. I even tried shining light at the edge to see if the reflections formed some anamorphic features. Then found this forum with the text on the edge (and the eventual hint in the insert).

Thanks to all the kind folks who have posted different hints here… I got stuck on the Part-2 Codex and Part-1 words while figuring out everything else around it… so the hints were really helpful.

I was disappointed that there was nothing associated with Fluxions (Integrals).

Did anyone figure out the meaning of the coordinates on the medals collector insert (one is in Wales and one in England)?

Also what was the use of B,2,Sun and three figures on the panel (on the main card) to the right of the panel which has the morse dots?

The B2sun gives the alignment of the coin to the inner cypher circle to get the motion answer
