Satisfyingly complex unusually challenging enigma solved, success!

[Foggy]

That entry's not entirely right...you've lost it.

So cancel "success" (unless solver can emend).

[Naboo]

Egads sir , maybe this tame para attempt's true?

[Guest]

A mechanism has surfaced, even if not my comeback.

[Guest]

It's the numbers that have us, isn't it? (Don't anagram that.)

How boot:

Even if not mostly correct, a mechanism has surfaced.

[bobandyo]

Really enjoyed solving very marvelous and unusually lovely oratory.

(Not good, I suspect I'm missing something)

[Thok has only knowledge]

Step one is posit thoughts. Does everyone decide if everything correct? Perhaps even some additional result has prompt.

[Tinhorn]

[Does not follow the rule.]

Post 1 follows a more general application of the rule. The actual puzzle paragraph uses a more specific application of the rule. Thus, post 1 is close, but not all the way there, as others have sugggested.

The situation is similar to one where the rule was "hide a bird in each sentence," and post 1 hid a cat. Yes, post 1 would have complied with the more general rule of "hide an animal," but the more specific rule can be gleaned from the paragraph.

By the way -- nice going, all who have solved so far.

I think I solved the puzzle. But I am not really sure. Because Thok isn't following my rule nicely at all...

[Thok]

Oh, I'm sure I don't have it completely correct at all. Hence my comments.

[Tahnan]

Post five spoils it; it typifies your entry.

[Thok]

Vowels easy, what other surprises lurk?

(Not anagram: above is probably better than my previous post).

[Tahnan]

[not the rule]Thok, not only does that post contain a wee bit of spoilery info, but it doesn't follow the rule (for the same reason as post #1), if I understand it properly.[/not the rule]

[Guest]

O, Vowels wrong, so easy law? Do I aid? Apologies, poor logic, I guess ego out of shape.

[Lucky Wizard]

I witnessed the stuff Naboo saw earliest... did everybody?

I'm not seeing other points, though.

I observe: this sentence contains an odd nonword, "nonfractions", for no reason.

[does not follow anything]In other words, I see what Naboo was referring to in his first post, but not the other part of the solution.[/dnfa]

[Tony Gardner]

(To explain rear line: I am a materials' scientist)

This still holds information.

Not entirely done obviously...

Zealous zeolite upholder likes solving enticing puzzles.

[MatthewV]

This will help (and won't follow any rule).

The following people have solved the complete puzzle to the best of my knowledge. Many people are most of the way there but are not getting the slightly smaller bit. Anyways, the list of people:
Foggy
Naboo (on second try)
bobandyo
Tahnan
Guest (post 15)

Bce.

[Thok hit on key]

I was the guest posting in 15 (so got it on my third try). (Not submission)

[/dev/joe]

I. You enjoyed just doing each new one. Vowels guide solving in no lovely order. See, this is how!

[Kerplunk]

[nfr]I was post 10. Hmm... so it's trickier then I thought. Something with vowels, I presume...[/nfr]

[Frats]

Or, lonely solving is not very good

Appreciate order, Yoda does! Nevertheless, no nasty significance attached to specific ordering of consonants?

[Foggy]

Consonants are not the solution, solvers need only observe numbers.

[Guest]

[no rule] The ungetting aren't getting. In the solutions that are close but cigarless, is it a matter of ordering words correctly, or is there an error in choosing the words, or is the problem something else? [no rule]



I persist trying erroneous solutions: same result.

[Tinhorn]

[unruly] It's not just any, it's one particular. Which, and why? (More generally, see post 9, above.) [/unruly]

[newboy]

Indeed, I confused significance - consonants are not needed for getting inside enigma. Before, ordering vowels seemed likely, yet is obviously untrue!

[Foggy]

Newboy, your entry works, old boy!

[One k has Thok.]

Perhaps some eye a purely harder rule? Facetiously, I challenge others to let your solutions use alternate example.

[not rule]To clarify, there's an obvious way to strength the spirit of the submission requirement. Perhaps some are up to the challenge? And yes, I know my post doesn't follow this potentially stronger rule[/not rule]

[Oscar]

This contains a nicety in need of sanction!

[Guest]

More aid for the slow? [/nr]

[Thok]

Hintish type thing (invised).[/nr]

Lengthily I yearn to give each little newbie hints. Short ones real hard too. This genre, in writing, is really novel.[/spolier]

[3iff]

I'm looking, but not seeing....totally confused...

[Guest]

Following the rules when posting clues as to the rules is not as helpful as you might think. There seems to be a mental block we're not getting around.

[Tinhorn]

[Tinhorn]

[newboy]

If need hint then ...
Obeying rule can encourage us and give new examples.
I think initial letters are "in" now.
And, guest, a rule might need some anagrams!

[Thok]

[not ruly]Newboy, your hints don't quite follow the rule. More hint type stuff for that last little bit.[/not ruly]

Please spoilsports, prior spoilers, regard the long or short of items.

[Guest]

Well, I'm ready for absolute spoilage. The clues is does me none good.

[Lucky Wizard]

This solver really understands said difficult enigma now, and does nod.
