Good point. I was concentrating on S3 and S0, and gave up on S2 and S1 once I knew one existed.
I think these quote trees are quite pretty, in a 60s minimalist art kind of way.

Ziola, I got as far as "find a three digit number." That was it... (uh...one hundred's a three digit number, right? <twitch>) Then things got w-a-y too complicated for me.

That's about as click as I go...

...but I keep checking in, hoping something clicks... Then I see all these blank thread trees...and my brain went into multi-click mode...and exploded!

No troubles...well, except I now have all this icky stuff to clean off my screen and keyboard! <shudder>

Loves you, guys!

Well I've posted a maze, a poem, and a tarot card when trying to cover different styles of puzzles, in the hopes that those might click for people that hate math and codes. Did any of those click at all? What other suggestions do you all have?

How about riddles, brain teasers, wordplay little thingy's? Like this one:

Two US coins are worth 30 cents and one is not a quarter. What are the two coins?
