A Little bit of Everything Puzzle Event!

Looking forward to all the fun messages back and forth on this event! PLEASE don't hesitate to ask for hints or help...

For those who are interested: I am going in for 10 hour brain surgery on Tuesday the 12th to put in two implants and will stay in recovery overnight. I will go back the 19th for another surgery that will put a pacemaker-like device in my abdomen that is attached to the brain implants that will control them. I wanted this puzzle event running during this time so I can have a fun outlet to keep my mind off the surgeries. The best way to encourage me is to solve this puzzle event!! This is what makes me happy! ;) Love you guys!

Instructions of How to Solve:

  • 1 Unscramble the list of words in one of the below puzzles (Ex. P1Q1 IMTTSAESFG is STEAMGIFTS)
  • 2 To determine the Column A-Z to reference for each answer use the Column Number Hint (Ex P1Q1 12345-7890 the column will be the 6th letter in the unscrambled word of STEAMGIFTS, thus column G)
  • 3 To determine the Row to reference for each answer you must solve the Row Hint (Ex P1Q1 unlucky number on a Friday would be 13, thus row 13)
  • 4 Refer to the Puzzle Key below image and find the character in the Grid for the Column/Row coordinate (Ex P1Q1 G13 is "L")
  • 5 Use the Grouping and Order Hint to group together 5 sets of 5 words in the correct order (Ex P1Q1 is the Roman Numeral I, this will be grouped with the others in order of I, II, III, IV, V)
  • 6 Once all the characters are found and the groupings and ordering are correct, you should discover 5 hidden GA codes of 5 characters each
  • 7 Find all 5 GAs for each Puzzle... each will give a HINT to solve a common Acronym (order of GA characters can then be determined)
  • 8 Find all the 8 Acronym Hidden GAs from each of the 8 puzzles to solve and find a hidden ITSTOOHARD puzzle
  • 9 Solve the ITSTOOHARD puzzle and get access to more GAs and conquer the full event!!

Good, so I only need to change the code table and the keys will change to the correct ones (if I ordered them correctly)

are some puzzle keys used twice?
atm i have one that seems to be used twice (not sure about the correct order to know if this is true or if i have a mistake at the scrambled words or column questions though)

There is one possible reuse of a coordinate with puzzle 2 line 6, but the character can be found more then once in the column.
