• What did you notice or observe during the challenge?

I noticed that each puzzle gave us clues and I also noticed that it was hard to guess the codes.

• What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)?

I asked myself questions like, “What is the code?” and, “Could this have something to do with the code?”

• When did you first begin drawing connections between the different puzzles and pictures?

I first drew some connections after we solved the suzzle and I figured out the number code.

• What were those connections?

The connections were that the number of spikes the dinosaur had was the number code.

• What were your biggest clues?

My biggest clue was when I figured out that the color and the number of spikes on the dinosaur was a code.

• What was the most challenging?

The most challenging was finding the number code because I didn’t know that we weren’t supposed to use commas so I actually typed in the right code first, but with commas, so I went through like 15 more codes before I got the right code again.

• What was your biggest ah-ha moment? Why?

My biggest ah-ha momment was when I figured out that the letter came from a sentence we needed to solve.
