Jeb, Waltzoftheflowers YES!!!!, and not even close for the total.

Nan, your total for the 4, is higher than the total of all 5 and no, not Endures All Things.

While this isn't really that constructive, I feel that 3 puzzles is more than enough, and 5 actually is deterring me from participating. That just makes an already tough game even more tough

Jarrod, thanks for letting me know. Maybe it won't work out, but thought it would be fun to try.
Vesper, no and no

Iggy -- totally agree that putting five in a set rather than three is an intriguing idea; and I encouraged it. But, since I'm actually participating as a contestant here -- and your puzzles are hard :cry: , I've got to agree with Jarrod that 5 puzzles in a set is kind of intimidating -- and really hard.

Darn, I thought I was getting closer with my last try -- but obviously not.

You might consider the idea of breaking it down into more sets with fewer puzzles in each.

Or maybe allowing answers with more names. Like: Name + Name + (Name) + sum of ID Numbers?

Or not or whatever. Very cool puzzles, Iggy. Thanks for a set I can struggle with; it's a reality check to try to find answers and see how impressive the actual solvers are. I'm hoping that Set 4 will go on through Sunday and we can see Leo getting (rather than sending) ---- "No"

I'll be back with another guess tomorrow.

It looks like we are going to have to open it up. Thanks for the info Jeb! I guess I will start giving some help. I will start with higher and lower. I have to work today (gee, happy birthday to me) so I won't be around a ton to answer. But feel free to try guessing up to 2 individual horses and the total of the rest! We will see if that opens things up a bit.

Chris, that's the closest anyone's been with set 4, but no, too low.

Corey, you are also too low.
