Much easier. I figured them out when I first saw them
I know the last one
Set Shift is wrong...
@biffuz
What do you mean it is wrong? The answer has not been revealed yet. I thought of a solution that works just fine. I’m not sure that I understand your comment.
No offense intended.
Looks interesting!
Thanks for the answers to round 3, the pyramid puzzle was driving me crazy but is so obvious once you see the answer!
I went completely the wrong way on it as 4990 has a minifig called Sparks, 21316 has Flint(stones) and 8635 has minifigs called Fuse and Charge so I spent way too long looking for connections between minifig names!

For me not
Some of the set numbers in Set Shift are wrong.

In French I would say "Chercher midi à quatorze heures"
In comparison to the Puzzle Pyramid, yes easier
Oh... I see now. I didn’t check to see if the set numbers listed were accurate. I was still able to figure it out.
The Set Shift on this one had me looking up all the sets...but the answer was staring me in the face!
CapnRex has fixed the set numbers.
The set shift is much easier than the pyramid, I think. Saw it in a blink.
The normal questions... about three quite easy, one took some research and that falconry thing is still puzzling me. So that's the usual level of hardness.
I liked my answer for 4 on the last puzzle better :)
"Dark astronaut maintaining pace, while walking after Classic Space."

I swear a lot of the answers have popped up in the RSotD, is that intentional?
OH - 1 got one set wrong in the last one.
This one took was a bit quicker to figure out but good fun!
Thanks for the previous quiz answers, that pyramid had me totally stumped, never thought to check piece count! Very clever...
Think I’ve figured Set Shift...
Easier overall - I overthought the pyramid one, so scaling back my analysis made it much more obvious. That being said, I'm not sure about the Falcon one. Maybe a bit too cryptic...
It's too easy, I couldn't get all the answers last time, this time it was done in one minute.
But thanks anyway!
Didn't try the last one, but this ones easier , is there somewhere to submit answers ?
Definitely easier this time. I got them all quickly, except for riddle 5. I think I have the right answer for that one, but I'm not 100% sure.

Iss it? How so?
@bmerigan - I had originally included the wrong set number but it has been corrected now.
Thanks to @biffuz and @560heliport for bringing this to my attention.
