I never got that damn puzzle becouse when I played KQ for the first time I had no idea about the English name of Rumplestiltskin, I of course was familiar with the tale he is in but in Icelandic, Rumplestiltskin is “Lendabrekkustaur” so you can see the confusion on my end 😉
And of course when I finally got around to get help, I wasn’t sure if the walkthrough was making fun of the reader with how to solve it.
But still it was a clever puzzle, and actually forced to you think.
