 =====Commentary=====
-The first puzzlebox was in many ways a test of your observational skills. To many, the frustrations emerged from what was being taken for granted. But once you took proper notice, and could apply the appropriate skills, its secrets could be obtained.
+We're now onto our third glorious puzzlebox of the semester; each one commanding the respect of more and more of your observational, critical thinking, and abstraction skills.
-This next puzzlebox will test both your observation skills (in a slightly different way) and reasoning skills in an abstract manner. Along with that, your scripting skills are being put to the test as well: your submission will more heavily rely upon a fully functional steps file that will entirely automate the process. If you are observant, the information you need is presented early on, but is a few layers of abstraction out of reach. Patience and perseverance will be key to victory.
+Be sure you stop and reflect upon the particular actions you go through, as well as realizations you have while accomplishing the puzzle: it is insights like these that lead to explosive growth in your abilities.
+I've gotten a few more questions directed my way. Still perhaps a bit on the timid side. Please: I love questions- the more you ask and explore and realize, the happier that makes me. Even if you think it is an obvious or stupid question. What's the worst that can happen? I don't reply? Seriously- don't struggle thinking you have to figure it out on your own. I mean, you are to do all your own work, but please include asking me questions or consulting with a tutor as baseline aspects of helping you to figure this stuff out.
+NOT doing that is actually quite limiting for your progress.
