I haven't looked into your puzzles earlier, now I see you've got whole stack of them by now. Curious to see the answers and possibly learn something new, because I have no effing idea what these are about. Maybe I do have some very generic guess about the area these are touching, but a guess without any reassurance whatsoever just isn't good enough for me.
Mostly makes me wonder if the solvers did have experience with something like this before, so I shouldn't really be too unsettled, or should I really take off my hat to some folks, which I seldom am forced to do ;) Although the likes of chour do have my everlasting tip of the hat already :)

Actually, they seldom touch the exact same area twice (maybe on occasion though). I try to base them on different ideas. You still have time to solve this one, I believe it doesn't really require any previous experience with my puzzles -- though I admit it can help in a way, but it will be quite hard nevertheless. Every time I give all the information needed, so more often than not I can't even give an additional hint that wouldn't spoil the experience.
Of course you can pretty much guess that at least the first ones were about ciphers. Beats me though why exactly I had only one solver on Quick Fixes I and II, it really didn't seem that hard to me at the time. Some people are still trying to solve them if I'm not mistaken.
So maybe you should ask chour for his opinion then (by the way, the man has just solved this one).

I didn't have any experience and solved 2 of this string.

So, one solver, no entries, a day and a half left. I'm thinking about making the current giveaway public (or maybe giving the link to the Cryptic Crowd members) and rebooting the puzzle with a longer time limit if there are less than two entries right before it ends.

Improvised Explosive Device ? Say what that is surely a mistery to find them hidden in the road.

Six hours left. As only one solver is able to enter the giveaway now, I will create an additional one to keep both of them happy and to extend the deadline for a few more days. So if you solve the puzzle in the next few hours, you get a very very good chance to win the first giveaway too.
