Big thank you to what I think has been my most fun exchange so far!

It all started with a mysterious package that arrived at a slightly unusual time on my door step. I went to pick it up and was massively surpised by how heavy it was!

Excited I got inside tore open the box to find to my amazement the most awesome challenge I have had in a long time, and what I think is up there with the best gift exchanges I have ever done! And i have done quite a few!

What I found inside was a load of jigsaw pieces and a safe! Which Said "Vault tec" on it. See pictures ------->

The safe needed a digital code, and after messing about a little to guess the password I started on the jigsaw.

The jigsaw it very quickly became apparent was a QR code! Luckily as it was the weekend I litrally had nothing else to do so set about solving it. At this point i should probably stress solving a QR code jigsaw puzzle is no easy feat and is not to be trifled with. Below i will explain my method for solving it.

1.) Find all the edges (simple technique learn from my early years) 2.)Take said pieces and fit them together building the edge. 3.)Once the edge is built you have no idea what needs to go in the middle, so i decided to focus my attention on clearly filling in the next layer which was mostly white ----> 4.)Once the obvious pieces are done this is where it starts to get tricky. You need to locate all pieces left over that have a whole white or black node (or nodule) position those on your work top with the main (all black or all white node) facing up 5.)Look for pieces that are clearly needing an all black or white node to fill them, for example, use the filtered pieces from part 4. 6.) Complete puzzle with the remaining pieces.

The above took me a fucking age! At least 2 hours! But I was literally smiling the entire time!

Finally I had the QR code! I scanned it faster then Flash could run the hundred meters to discover another puzzle! This time it was a private Fallout Twitter account with a few questions. Each offering part of the riddle!

I solved these damn quick and got the code! Inside I found a bounty of prizes and a note explaining my journey!

I got an awesome set of super rare and vintage bottle caps A Halo Mega Bloks Halo UNSC All Terrain Mongoose - Which i havent built yet! A load of sweets! A Halo Poster with various info on weapons and vehicles A fallout pin badge

This exchange was awesome big thanks to my Santa!
