Solving Word Equations-- you will need to refer to the final bank of 20 pictures below to help solve.

Example solution for Puzzle 01- AIR's word equation: (see first attached image below)
(numbers by each picture are how many letters are in the word you must figure out)

TOAST + MOON - TOMATO = ?
TOASTMOON - TOMATO
(TOA)S(TMO)ON (the letters in bold are the letters to be subtracted from TOASTMOON)

This leaves the letters S, O, and N. Rearrange the resulting letters to make a word. Thus, the answer for Puzzle 1's Word Equation Passcode is "SON". Check over the second image below and check off the matching picture that looks like "SON".

Use the FREE GA area in middle of event to ask EvilBlackSheep for help on word equations puzzles.

The one I'm badly stuck at and yes I feel I should be able to solve it and I read the hints with the leaves and the championship, but no matter what, I can't match the colors to the teams is the crossword of ITH 9
the others are some of the piano ones which I took a break from ;)

Stuck on: hidden 12 (piano), hidden 13 (piano), (Achievement 2) and hidden 30 (gospels).

Try googling piano key referencing

I finished all the first ITHs and started the first crossword. Am I correct assuming that some letters for the next ITH are small and some capitalized? If so, can you give a hint as to how to figure which are what? I think I know how to sort them otherwise, but might of course be wrong with that idea. ;)

Lower or uppercase doesn't matter... You wil still get to ITH, it's not case sensitivb

Oh. Thanks. :) In that case I have to rethink my approach regarding the order...
I don't know how detailed I can say what my thinking was. :o

Figured it out. :)
I think I'll see tomorrow if I can solve anything else. I really wanted to find the "Flame in the Flood" giveaway, but alas I might not make it in time. ;)

Thanks, would appreciate it, so stuck on the last hidden ITH I find I need to move on for my own sanity, lol. Have to say, am amazed by the complexity and organisation that this event has shown, have been dragged up your pinnacle on the coattails of other's hints and am amazed I got so far. Bit farther than my real capabilities. On a selfish note, the giveaways were very nice too. Thanks so much for 2 weeks of distraction, elation and heaps of frustration :)

(Thankfully) I managed to solve the problem with some help from EtcEtcEtctaco, but I do have a question!

For the final puzzle, there are some answers that are misspelled. For example in the first row there's 'annatto', but in the picture it's spelled as 'annattto' (with three t's).. is this a mistake or was it something intentional to sort of trick the players?
