Familiar Faces


In a perfect world, you would have returned to the site of Candy Land to see your own pumpkins grinning back at you (or at least gazing at you though simple geometric shapes.) By the time you were supposed to do this puzzle, though, we would have been shot for so much as mentioning pumpkin pie anywhere in Yerba Buena Gardens, let alone lining up 31 candle-lit pumpkins, so one of our volunteers put together a paper version of the clue instead. Here's a less exciting version of the same data. The pumpkins would have been in a line with little slips of paper underneath, and each one would have borne four shapes in no particular order. You would have known that the order of shapes wasn't important, because you would have had creative liberty in carving one of these pumpkins! You also would have gotten little candy pumpkins to eat.
