I got the Puzzling Puzzle (as well as Behind the Scenes, and TBB Multi-voice recording CD) today.
This book is very thin but is still cute. Here's some excerpts:
A Note About the Answers
There are many things I do not know. I do not know why the Baudelaire children have been visited waith such terrible misfortune at such a young age. I do not know why Count Olaf is such a cruel, vile, greedy villain. I do not know what is contained within a nougat, a beige, fluffy ingredient in some candy bars.
Bit I do know the answers to most of the activites, games, and vitally important secret codes contained within this field training guide, and I have hidden them in the back of the book in case of emergency.
I would wish you good luck, but it would be unwise to say such a thing, in light of everything I know. I will, however, extend my Very Fond Desires for a safe and successful completion of your training. More people are watching your progress than you know I know you know, and not all of them are pleasant.
Tou might as well begin now.

CONVOLUTED CRAFT
I am sorry to say that a Scavenger Hunt is not a craft, and you will probably find it a waste of time. Having arrived at the end of this book, you are welcome to go play outside--that is, unless you want to complete your training, in which case you should locate each of the things listed below.
Your spyglass
A wedding dress
Your official hat
A sawn-off table leg
A blindfold
VFD Field Training Guide
King Tut
A box of golf ball-sized diamonds
A raw carrot
A monkey fist
A drinking glass hidden under a bed
Beef Wellington
A method for breaking the Sebald Code
Burundi
A typewriter
A giant suitcase
A scavenger hunt
A panic button
*Dolls note: I'll never find all these things, how sad...

PERPLEXING PICTURE
Put the following events in the order they occurred.
A. (picture of) Elf waving and riding a unicorn.
B. (picture of) Tree.
C. (picture of) Unicorn at beach laying on a towel, with her glass of tea.
D. (picture of) Elf waving and riding a unicorn.
E. (picture of) Elf happy and splashing in the water.
ANSWER: The correct order is D, E, A, C, B. The Littlest Elf rode the pretty unicorn to Pleasant Pond and decided to splash about. The unicorn returned to the village and picked up the Littlest Elf's cousin, commonly known as "He's also very little," and brought him back to share in the fun. The unicorn then sunbathed. One thousand years later, a tree grewon that very spot!
*Dolls note: Laugh out loud at the sunbathing picture and the randomness of the tree!!!!! ^^
