Copying part of the text and googling it should lead you to the conclusion that this a crochet pattern. It is in fact a crochet pattern for a modified granny square. Completing the project produces the image below. In the light contrast color you see the letter 'e'. In the correct orientation for the 'e', the square becomes a diamond (which is further clued by the specific instruction to do the border in red). It is less standard than in knitting, but it is also possible to draw out a chart from the pattern and find the solution that way.
+
+
+
+
Cross Stitch
+
You are given a list of DMC numbers, each of which is associated with a list of coordinates. DMC is the standard brand of embroidery floss. Googling something along the lines of "DMC Numbers" will get you a chart that helps you convert the DMC numbers to colors (there are several out there). The minipuzzle tells you that 1A is the upper left corner. Indexing rows by number and columns by letter, you produce the image below. Note that you have clubs and that the letter 'a' can be found in the center club.
+
+
+
+
+
Knitting
+
If this is not immediated recognized as a knitting pattern, copying part of it into google should make that clear. One option is to just knit it up. Alternately, you can draw out the chart. Knitting charts start in the lower right corner. On even rows, you are working on the wrong side of the fabric. Note that knit stitches on the back appear as purls on the front and purl stitches on the back appear as knit stitches on the front. If you draw up the chart, you get the image below. Note that you have a spade with the letter 'I'.
+
+
+
Quilting
+
The only instructions requiring any actual quilting knowledge are the abbreviation RST, the term flying geese, and the note about seam allowances. Flying geese and seam allowance are both directly Googleable. The term RST can by found by Googling with sewing, quilting, or something similar. Carefully following the instructions produces the image below. Note that you have the letter 'k' and a heart.
+
+
+
+
Final Solution
+
You have the letters 'e','a', 'I', 'k'. The only reasonable answer from these letters is IKEA.
+
+
In addition to a letter, each craft produces one of the standard suits from a deck of cards. The flavor text By the way, we've noticed that Frank Catton makes his large bids first. clues that you should order the puzzles by suit, from highest to lowest in bridge order (so Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs). This provides confirmation of the solution and also limits the possible solution space if a team gets stuck on one of the crafts.
+
The solver is presented with a series of 14 DNA sequences. Each
+sequence begins with a clue in the usual amino acid translation alphabet,
+followed by a stop codon, and then a sequence from Anolis caroliensis
+(North American green anole lizard), the first lizard genome sequenced
+(Alföldi J., et al. Nature 2011).
+
+
The answer to each clue is a dinosaur root word followed by "lizard". For
+example, RECEIVEDAURALLYAFTERLIGHTNING clues "thunder";" thunder-lizard" is
+brontosaurus; and so the first letter "B" is used. When arranged in the
+proper order, the letters spell AMBER, OCHRE, OPAL, which clue the final answer
+STOP CODON.
In the amino acid alphabet, U codes for selenocysteine, which is coded by TGA
+under certain circumstances. B codes for either asparagine (N) or aspartic acid
+(D). Z codes for either glutamic acid (E) or glutamine (Q).
+
+
The 14 sequences are presented to the solver in alphabetical dinosaur
+order: 1A, 13A, 3B, 7C, 4E, 10E, 8H, 14L, 2M, 6O, 11O, 12P, 5R, 9R.
+
+
In this order, the first letter of each clue phrase spells down
+TERRINLELIQARD, or "terrible lizard", cluing dinosaur.
+
+
Appended to the clue phrase sequences is another DNA sequence, which a BLAST
+search should identify as Anolis caroliensis (anole lizard). This lizard
+DNA clues that these are dinosaur root words ("thunder-lizard").
+
+
Three genes from the lizard are used, which specify the grouping for the
+words (amber, ochre, and opal, respectively). In addition, the stop codon
+between the clue phrase and the lizard DNA matches that of the word: TAG (amber)
+for 1A, 2M, 3B, 4E, and 5R; TAA (ochre) for 6O, 7C, 8H, 9R, and 10E; TAG (opal)
+for 11O, 12P, 13A, and 14L.
+
+
The ordering of the letters within each word can be specified by either: the
+position of the sequence; the length of the appended lizard sequence
+(shortest-longest); or the total length of the sequence.

You mortals constantly attribute your greatest achievements of exploration to the influence of the divine. But do you ever wonder why we choose to intervene? Did you ever consider that we are sending you a message? Take, for example, the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted that American flag on the moon. You might have seen the clear influence of both the god of love and the god of war in that moment, but I am sure you did not comprehend the message they were sending you all the way from where they reside. Let me aid you, mortal; it was simply "B." Now tell me, what do these events really mean?

+This is, in fact, an internet stalking puzzle. You're given a selection of members of Alice Shrugged, complete with pictures, graduation years, hometowns, and fun facts with enumerations after them.
+
Once you begin to read about these people, you'll soon discover that the name matches the picture and graduation year, but that the hometowns are wrong and the fun facts are partially incorrect. Each fun fact can be corrected by replacing part of the fact with a phrase that matches the given enumerations.
+
+The correct fun facts and hometowns are as follows:
+ Usman Akeju '04 - Mount Vernon, NY - I starred in the Dramashop production "Bhoma".
+ Jeff Barrett '02 - Milton, MA - My research area is human genetics.
+ Danny Ben-David '15 - New York City, NY - I am the President and Grand Poobah of the Why Not ZoidPAC? Super Pac. [Errata: Danny closed Why Not ZoidPAC? in 2018, so this statement should now be read in the past tense.]
+ Seth Bisen-Hersh '01 - East Brunswick, NJ - I wrote a song called "If Only I Were Gay".
+ Harrison Bralower '11 - Naperville, IL - I wrote "It All Started With a Sound Board".
+ Meredith Brown '06 - Ahoskie, NC - I judge submissions for the Undergraduate Writing Colloquium Contest.
+ Brandy Buckingham '02 - Kansas City, KS - I was an actor in SPG Improv at Northwestern University.
+ Charlene Clark '03 - Lebanon, NH - I worked as a body piercer.
+ Kevin Der '06 - Concord, MA - I am a regular New York Times crossword contributor.
+ Josh Dillon '09 - Highland Park, IL - I use radio waves to study evolution during the Cosmic Dawn period.
+ Amal Dorai '04 - Lexington, MA - I lost a beaver paw on Harvard's campus.
+ Zak Fallows '11 - Watertown, MA - I taught "Drugs and the Brain" at MIT in Spring 2013.
+ Jenelle Feather '13 - Windber, PA - I was surrounded by a herd of elk while in a purple pickup at Rocky Mountain National Park.
+ Teasha Feldman '14 - Olympia, WA - I spent a summer with MISTI working at International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.
+ Rishi Gupta '10 - Cupertino, CA - I am a current PhD student in Theoretical Computer Science.
+ Lauren Herring '16 - Jacksonville, FL - I'm an inventor, aviatrix, accidental neuroscientist.
+ Harvey Jones '06 - Palo Alto, CA - I tested a novel form of voting that Ron Rivest developed.
+ Jason Juang '08 - Blue Ash, OH - I attended Sycamore Junior High School.
+ Dan Katz '03 - Newtown, PA - I won the Boit Manuscript Prize from the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT.
+ Chris Lyon '02 - Kensington, CA - I collect and restore pinball machines.

+ Jeff Barrett '02 - Milton, MA - My research area is human genetics.
+ Danny Ben-David '15 - New York City, NY - I am the President and Grand Poobah of the Why Not ZoidPAC? Super Pac. [Errata: Danny closed Why Not ZoidPAC? in 2018, so this statement should now be read in the past tense.]
+ Seth Bisen-Hersh '01 - East Brunswick, NJ - I wrote a song called "If Only I Were Gay".
+ Harrison Bralower '11 - Naperville, IL - I wrote "It All Started With a Sound Board".

+ Teasha Feldman '14 - Olympia, WA - I spent a summer with MISTI working at International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.
+ Rishi Gupta '10 - Cupertino, CA - I am a current PhD student in Theoretical Computer Science.
+ Lauren Herring '16 - Jacksonville, FL - I'm an inventor, aviatrix, accidental neuroscientist.

+Before administering the Eggsam, you should know the name of the team that has made
+an appointment. You should also have a copy of
+the eggsam answer key handout, which you will give to the test-taker if they succeed,
+and a certificate of failure, which you will give them if they fail.
+
+
+
+Greetings. I am Professor Dumpty. This is the final eggsam for my Advanced Vocabulary Course.
+I sincerely hope you have been paying attention throughout the semester, as opposed to cramming and
+trying to learn everything at the last minute. As a reminder, you may not use or take notes
+during this eggsam.
+
+
+
+(If there is more than one solver present from the team, that's against the rules, so say:)
+
+As specified in the instructions, this eggsam may only be taken by one student at a time. So
+I'm afraid all but one of you will have to leave the room before we begin.
+
+
+
Am I correct in my belief that you are a member of the team [TEAM NAME]?
+(If they disagree with this, contact HQ and resolve the discrepancy.)
+
+
Is this your team's first time taking the eggsam?
+(If they say yes, let N=0; if they say no:)
+Do you have any certificates of failure to prove this?
+(If they do, let N be the number of certificates they show you.)
+
+
Very good! You will be permitted [N+1] mistakes. If you make an [(N+2)th] mistake, the eggsam
+will immediately end. Are you ready?
+
+
Ask each question in the order below (be sure to give the question numbers, even though these numbers
+are out of order). If they answer correctly, tell them they are correct and continue. If they give an incorrect
+answer, tell them the correct answer and continue. If they make [N+2] mistakes, say:
+ I'm afraid you have failed in what I eggspected to be an eggsceedingly simple task.
+Here is a certificate of failure to commemorate your lack of achievement.
+Please return to your homebase, review your notes, and make an appointment to attempt the eggsam again later.
+When you return, bring any certificates of failure you have accumulated, as we
+will allow you to make more mistakes next time.

Ever since my beer-loving spouse left me, I've been feeling so lonely without my ALEWIFE. I decided to call my friend SALMON the phone to get some advice. She's a real RAY of sunshine and always makes me feel BETTA. I had a splitting HADDOCK so I took some aspirin, sat down in my favorite comfy CHAR, and dialed the phone. "I've been feeling really down, Sam" I said. "I know you probably don't give a CARP about all this, but my future looks so barren and BLEAK. Can you help me?" "Sure thing!" she said. "You'll EEL better in no time! It's no use being elusive, shy, and KOI. When you've got friends, there's no need to flail and FLOUNDER around! Want me to come over?" "I'm not sure, I'll have to MULLET over before I can decide. I feel just so SHAD and lonely and blue without my spouse. I'm sure she was my SOLE mate!" "Music might take your mind off it," Sam offered. "I've been HERRING a really groovy TUNA by Meghan Trainor on the radio. Come to my PLAICE and we'll listen to it!" "Great idea! I really love her song 'HALIBUT that BASS'." "I can also get some takeout, and we can watch a movie you love." "Food sounds great, but I recommend that you SKIPJACK-in-the-Box: last time I got food there, my whole house SMELT like burgers all week. As for movies, I vote we watch a MARLIN Brando film. It's been too long since I last saw The CODfather!"

+
+
+
+
+
+
Basically, this encoding method uses three types of knots, overhand knots, long knots (like an overhand knot with multiple turns), and figure-eight knots. All non-ones-digits are represented by a series of close together overhand knots with a larger gap between the digits, and ones digits are represented by long knots with a number of turns equal to the value of the digit (so an 8 would have 8 turns, etc). Zeros are represented by the lack of a knot in the relevant location, which can be differentiated from just a gap between digits because the gap is twice as large as a normal gap between two digits.
+
+
For example, the number 834 would be encoded like so:
+----o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o--o-o-o--oooo
+where the single o's are overhand knots, and the 4 o's together represent a single knot with four turns.
+
+
Each of the seven red strings represents a room number on MIT campus. The place where the string is attached to the map gives the building number, and the number encoded on the string is the classroom number within that building. So for example, to represent 10-250, a red string would be tied to the gray ropes where building 10 would be, and the string has the number "250" encoded on it.
+
+
Once the room numbers have been decoded, solvers must go to campus and find a red string outside of each listed classroom with another number encoded on it. These strings are alphanumerically encoded (i.e. A->1, B->2, etc), so each string gives a letter.
+
+
The list of room numbers is as follows, with the encoded letter found at each location listed in parentheses:
+3-262 (B)
+4-370 (U)
+6-233 (F)
+9-245 (F)
+13-2062 (A)
+24-213 (L)
+26-431 (O)
+When the letters are ordered by the building number they were found in, they read out the answer, BUFFALO.

Each series of numbers on the left matches up one series of numbers on the right. (A couple of these are shorter than the rest, allowing solvers to match them and study them without understanding how the puzzle works.) All numbers in each series on the left are squares; all numbers in each series on the right are even. When every series on the left has been correctly matched to a series on the right, the numbers in each series can be paired off.
+
+
Taking each pair as coefficents for the x-squared and x terms of a polynomial produces a polynomial to which completing the square can be applied by adding a number; for instance, the 9 and the 6 pair formed from the start of the four-number series form the polynomial 9x^2 +6x, and adding a 1 to complete the square yields 9x^2 + 6x + 1, which is the square of 3x + 1. As a result of this, an additional series of numbers can be derived which corresponds to the non-coefficient term in each of the polynomials which is squared. These numbers are all below 26 and can be converted to letters using the standard A=1, B=2, etc. assignment.

Making the conversion to letters described above yields the following sets of letters (in order of the series on the left used to produce it):
