If you have nursing mothers, .

O.K., so I did all that was instructed, the villagers took the stew and honored the tree, but at around 6 people, the pot was empty. How do I keep enough stew in the pot for all the people to scoop and honor?

Stews shouldn't run out. They evaporate after a few minutes though, maybe your villagers aren't getting to it in time? That's all I can think.

I experienced a bit of weirdness with this one.

Well that worked! Thanks so much!

the same thing happened to me and it was so weird. they made the stew and I had all the villager(kids included) take it to the tree, then they all just sat there "contemplating" the tree. it was beyond annoying

Hey guys, I'm really confused with puzzle 14. I did all of the puzzles except for 14 and 16. I have 21 villagers (not counting the babies) I made the stew and added food to it. I had all 21 villagers go up to the tree except they did it at different times because some were fast and my old villagers went really slowly. Finally they finished contemplating the tree and a few kids left one at a time and eventually a few people started to leave and then my last, old villager finally left. I have no pop up for "Puzzle Completion" What have I done wrong?

Try it again when you have a few more people and see what happens.

Too late now, but try feeding it a second time to the faster-finishing villagers (kids and any runners probably) so that they all have stew in their hands at the same time.

Grr.. This puzzle irks me.. I can't do it until I have 20 villagers, and I only have 9 villagers, and only have 2 eligible mothers! I wish that the number could be lower, like 15 villagers, or maybe 10? *sigh*

Well, I know it's VERY bothering not to be able to complete it sooner, but the good news is if your bored you have the other games to play on.. and you can make your own goals for yourself... Like:

Getting all the Village Events
All The collections
Make your village as pretty as it can be
Have alot of 5 skilled ones
Have all of your villagers the same hair type/clothes type

...And Much more!

Hope this helps in your hour of patientness!
