Twice Baked

Did someone leave the oven on? Around here, the temperatures keep rising, and if we’re not careful, we might turn into duck soup!

It seems our difficulty meter got miscalibrated last week — definitely more of a week 2 or even 3. This week we’re again turning up the heat — let’s call it a 3, but go ahead and roast us if we’re wrong again. Happy solving!

Today's puzzle marks the end of PoD Season 1. A big thank you to everyone who solved along the way; we so appreciate all the warm comments on every single puzzle. After this week, we'll hold the final drawing and name the Season 1 mug winners. And don't worry, we'll be back next year with more puzzles!

Season 2, Puzzle 1: "Use Your Noodle"

Welcome back everyone to another season of Pair-o-Ducks puzzles! Season two means twice the puzzles, twice the puns, twice the prizes(*)!

Anyways, enough about us, it’s time to put on your thinking cap, sharpen your pencils, and get ready to use your noodle to quack the code! Today’s puzzle should play at around a level 3. Thanks to Mikey G for test solving. Some items of business: we’ll be back here every Sunday at noon EST until the start of summer.

Season 1, Puzzle 11: "Focus Group"

As we waddle into June, summertime is just around the corner, and we ducks are getting ready to head out for the season. We'll have two more puzzles for you after this one, and we'll wrap things up with our final puzzle on the 15th. And remember, those of you who have solved along with us all season will be eligible for the final prize drawing! For today's puzzle, you'll need to focus hard and group together all your brain cells to find the answer. We ducks are busy focusing on the things that matter most to us, namely, bread. We expect this puzzle might play a little tricky again, so don't hesitate to reach out for a nudge (and we'll post some later this week). For last week's solution, click here:  REVEAL!
