    3rd!

    I spent a lot of time determining the name of each cookie....

  3. FileGarlicMrPlow99 on Sep 05, 2011 07:07 PM

    I love the note included with the solution.

  4. PhotoRocketdenisepinto on Sep 05, 2011 07:07 PM

    Cute story, too. Well done, scouts :)

  5. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Sep 05, 2011 07:08 PM

    [2] I assume your work gave you an "answer" :-)

  6. Nurgle_headsAceNuurgle on Sep 05, 2011 07:10 PM

    [2] I did the same thing, which was especially frustrating as some of them have different names in different regions, or names that have been retired.

  7. Tanga_profile_photoEggWhiteKnight85 on Sep 05, 2011 07:13 PM

    [5] As a matter of fact, I think you're right.

    [6] Yes, my wife was explaining that to me as I did my research.

  8. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Sep 05, 2011 07:14 PM

    Ok, I love the write-up! The story behind this is great. Those girls are already learning the frustrations inherent in puzzlemaking!

    I've got to say, I was starting to get really irritated with the mods for letting this through with boxes that I couldn't make out. Then I went to the hyper and came back. And figured out what I was doing wrong.

  9. FileGarlicMrPlow99 on Sep 05, 2011 07:14 PM

    [6] Yeah, I know the far left cookie goes by 2 names, both current depending on which troop you're buying from. They're also by far my favorite.

    Hmm, I think this would make a good Random Question... "What's your favorite girl scout cookie?"

    yummy puzzle! thanks SuperSlug.

    ...And Nice avatar too!

  11. FileKiwiconniebgood on Sep 05, 2011 07:18 PM

    43 seconds! Nice job, girl scouts!! :)

  12. Mad_scientist_caricatureEggbrausm on Sep 05, 2011 07:20 PM

    [2] blah! ...did the same thing...

  13. TangaCarrotFalala on Sep 05, 2011 07:21 PM

    Nicely done - I sure did over-complicate it and missed out on bonus points!

  14. ErwinPepperTangaAl on Sep 05, 2011 07:24 PM

    Like [8], I enjoyed the writeup. Funny how something so simple can be overlooked. Chased the wrong paths looking for the cookie names. Then the a-ha! Great puzzle after all!

  15. Brownie_sundaeGarlicbrownie1 on Sep 05, 2011 07:32 PM

    [14] Thanks, I was following you around!

    Nice puzzle after I figured the a-ha moment!!

  16. FileTomatoSuperSlug on Sep 05, 2011 07:35 PM

    [15] I was hoping this was an OWW that you could solve.

  17. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Sep 05, 2011 07:42 PM

    [2] I see where you were going, since that was how I overcomplicated it to begin with too too. But the first stack has 8 boxes of what are "obviously" Samoas, which has only 6 letters.

    Let's see... are those Animals Treasures in the third stack?

    Luckily I there are htree girl scout parents in my office, so I can spread out my purchases and not look like a complete pig to a single person. In a normal year, I usually total 3 Thin Mints, 1 Samoa, 2 Tagalongs and 1 or 2 Trefoils. Mmmm... two trefoils and a cup of coffee... wonderful. The All Abouts (shortbread cookie with chocolate on one side were even better, but alas, they they seem to have been retired. I certainly wouldn't turn down a do-si-do, but I already get my peanut butter fix from the tagalongs.

    I hate to say it, but I just never really liked the dulce-de-leche.

    And hey, where are the Thank You Berry Muches?

  18. Brownie_sundaeGarlicbrownie1 on Sep 05, 2011 07:43 PM

    [16] I'm glad you hoped....................

  19. FileTomatoSuperSlug on Sep 05, 2011 07:50 PM

    [17] Thank U Berry Munch is the box 3rd from the left (dark pink box).

  20. Brownie_sundaeGarlicbrownie1 on Sep 05, 2011 08:01 PM

    [19] When I looked up the cookies (on this one site) I thought that was called Shout Outs! Very appropriate for this site!!

  21. Avatar_profileKiwimacewoman on Sep 05, 2011 08:08 PM

    Why do I always make it harder than it is?

    Yum, tagalongs and do-si-dos. Love those peanut butter cookies.

  22. Art_land_of_free_eagleEggplantJWillOH on Sep 05, 2011 08:15 PM

    Very fun puzzle Scouts!

  23. Tanga_profile_photoEggWhiteKnight85 on Sep 05, 2011 08:18 PM

    [17] Yes, you're right, except ....

    During my research I discovered that the Samoas are also known as Caramel deLites, which has more than 8 letters, so my method continued. (According to my wife, the longer name was added because there was a fear that some might consider "Samoas" to be offensive. She couldn't remember the details, and I'd like to think that she's mistaken. But the point remains that those cookies have a name that supports a stack of 8 boxes.)

  24. Brownie_sundaeGarlicbrownie1 on Sep 05, 2011 08:34 PM

    Another deleted comment again! Whatever Spam Filter!!

    [19] The site I was on also called that a Shout Out!

  25. FileRocketgarymc55 on Sep 05, 2011 08:58 PM

    53 seconds...that's good for me.

  26. Tanga_shadow_goat_2-fpAceshiella on Sep 05, 2011 09:29 PM

    great job troop! I will sew all your patches on! But since I can't be wherever you are, I'll name Super Slug as my proxy!

  27. GardenAcejrossite on Sep 05, 2011 09:05 PM

    This is the first puzzle I have ever gotten on the first guess. My experience as a Girl Scout Leader paid off. Ha!

  28. FileGarlicdharmaRN on Sep 06, 2011 01:23 AM

    Yep. I made this much more difficult than it is. Cute story... hope ths Scouts get to see it published! Congrats!

  29. AvadoneDuckiebargellos on Sep 06, 2011 03:46 AM

    Awesome puzzle. Before reading the story, I thought one household had all these cookies. Thanks for teaching the girls about letter numbers.

  30. FileAppleCandaceO on Sep 06, 2011 05:31 AM

    Sweet! In several ways.

    I tried to make it harder than it was, too...which is kind of funny because the clue on the puzzle immediately triggered the correct answer in my head.

  31. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Sep 06, 2011 07:06 AM

    [23] Yep! I learned about "Caramel Delites" while looking for a new name since *obviously* Samoas wouldn't work! lol

  32. Avatar_profilePeachKinglink on Sep 06, 2011 11:16 AM

    Way over thought this one.

  33. FileRocketlaurelg1 on Sep 06, 2011 06:06 PM

    I am a victim of helping my kids with fundraisers... I had no problem figuring out what their leader took home.
