I use eyes too, 5s. When I first started in SN, puzzles were not difficult. I think I solved 40 puzzles in a row, before I baulked at using clock, and gave up my streak. (Wish I knew it was possible to bail out early, not sure how that even works. Mom? Is it just in TB? or all puzzles?)

Then encountered this pattern. Quest demands non-giftable item, already in my inventory (from visits). I play. Fail. try again, this time with clock. Solve. No item. Play solve. And again, nada. Recently it took me FIVE gos, all solved, to get the item. I have tried combining the set before the quest, to rid myself of the item. Makes no diff. Drives me bonkers. Also happens on HL.

And if I simply avoid the puzzle quests, they put stranglers on. No open quests BUT Ac and HL. Have posted abt that before.

Anyone else have this excruciating experience? Surely I'm not the only one?
