Puzzle Answer
I HATE BUFFY
Puzzle Solution
Ignore clocks and calendars for now. Re-order the panels to form a coherent story: "Washer Woman breaks vase with ladder. Decides to build a time machine. Uses it to move the vase before it broke, then leaves. Younger self, instead of breaking vase, is inspired by its shape to invent the lava lamp."
The story flows in this order:
9 12 1 5 10 3 11 8 6 4 2 7
Or, if a solver had labeled the panels as given:
1 2 3 4 A B C D 5 6 7 8 E F G H 9 10 11 12 I J K L
then the correct order is:
3, 11, 6, 10, 4, 9, 12, 8, 1, 5, 7, 2 C, K, F, J, D, I, L, H, A, E, G, B
Once arranged, take the absolute difference of the clock or calendar numbers appearing in successive panels.
10:00, 1:00, 9th day, 8th day, 28th day, 23rd day, May 25, 4:00, 10am, 4:00, 29th day
Differences = 9, 8, 1, 20, 5, 2, 21, 6, 6, 25
Converting 1-26 to A-Z yields:
I H A T E B U F F Y
