Guys, I'll be busy for another three hours or so, but then I'll be on to help out as needed. My thought is that perhaps if we stay up late and do the puzzles late tonight they won't be able to stop the fires in time?

Also, just as a help, the easiest way to solve these puzzles tends to be if you solve the top row first. Once those three are out the way, the other five pieces should always line up pretty easily.

[liam]

Leah is right about the strategy, but unfortunately, I don't believe Water puzzle #2 or #3 are solvable.

I'll try to take a look at the unsolvable ones with a few programs that I've used. If those give us any solutions, that might be helpful. I'll be around tomorrow for a good chunk of time, so hopefully we can win this.

It occurs to me that if we successfully douse all of their fires, and build all of our fire puzzles but one, then complete that one just before midnight, that would give us the win, since we'd have all of them done and they'd have no time to douse ours.

Leah, the strategy genius!

I should be around for most of the night tonight, don't think we're doing anything special.

And, according to the program I'm running, Liam's right. A few of our puzzles simply aren't solvable.

[chase]

Sounds good. My mom is sick, so we aren't leaving today, so I will be around tonight to help.
