Submitting my answers tonight / tomorrow.

Enjoyed this one!  Learned some new tricks, and had to think outside the box a couple of times.

Well done! I'm still trying to get into level 4 on Snow Miser and level 5 on Heat Miser.

Note to self: "Try Harder™"

Admittedly, Snow Miser Zone 4 slowed me down a bit, too.  Knew what it was, right away, but figuring out exactly how they did it, so I could solve it, made me think that little extra bit harder.

Unsure if there was an 'easier' way, but I took the parts I could make out and improvised the possibilities on the rest, until I got that part.

There IS an easier way. Only took me 2 tries. Use your tools to aid your eyes. Smiley What's disappointing is how I got one of the later flags. Not sure I did it the right way, felt like cheating but got the answer. ;P

Thinking maybe we got the same 'later one', the same way. Perhaps...  Perhaps not...  But I did have a similar experience.

one of these days I'll figure out what to do here.  I really like attempting these but sometimes feel clueless.  Maybe I'll talk so of the guys at the space to show me their magic on Saturday.

There are tons of hints both on the twitter feeds as well as the questions that are asked in the game posting. Just dive in and it will start falling into place. Smiley

You can do it.  As tturner noted, there are enough hints to keep you moving, if you need them.
