The Fourth Annual Lent Puzzle
What follows is a mirror of the 2009 Livejournal Lent Puzzle, which can be found here. It is still in progress and is due to be complete on April 11th. Still hosted here are mirrors of the first, second and third puzzles.

It is my pleasure to announce the start of The Fourth Annual Weaselspoon
Lenten Puzzle.
I have hidden in the posts tagged LentPuzzle2009
a question and its solution. There is also some photography. If you don't get
the puzzle you can always enjoy the pictures.
I invite you all to solve this puzzle. A prize awaits you if you do. All
enquiries should be addressed to enquiries at protrait dot net or left as
comments here. All posts will be updated here and then mirrored at protrait dot
net when I can.
The First, Second
and Third
puzzles are still online, although their solutions are not and anyone wishing to
attempt these has my blessing to try.
The first puzzle was solved by Longbird and later by Mr Stewart. The second has
still only been solved by Longbird, for which she recieved a piece of Art. The
third was solved by Longbird and Kevan, both of whom are still waiting on their
prizes. My apologies.
I wish you all the best of luck.
