You need to solve the puzzle + then Tell us in 200 words about some of the stranger twists and wrong turns you took in solving the overall metapuzzle. Interesting competition. I'll update it as we get new info.

Puzzle 1:
Looking at the comments, it seems it could do with the red commas in the article, word in quotes, or something to do with Morse code, given they said 'Vikings and other Morse civilizations' instead of Norse. No idea.

iAgree. This one was easy enough to solve for me ONLY because of the comments on the page. Else I don't think I could have done it without spending hours trying to decipher the clue
I've got donuts after 45 minutes.
Thought the commas were dots and the dashes were … well… dashes but converting it from morse code seems to give me six characters which make no sense.
I know from the comments it's not the full stops so I could be close and just getting the wrong punctuation marks or miles off.
I'm sure I used to be smarter than this. I feel every single one of my 43 years! Back to work!
You're super close: PM me if you want a hand.
OMG …Spent almost an hour straight ..then found the meaning of red commas and sloved….very interesting puzzle….can`t wait for the next one…thanks OP
I feel like my brain is about to explode. That one was hard. I'm not at all confident I'll solve the metapuzzle.
M stuck on the metapuzzle as well :(
