Yeah. With a handful of other puppets, depending on what stat was needed.

Clever!

As a bit of trivia, here's the amount of resources I got per puzzle, not counting bonuses:
Logistics: 12-13
Knowledge: 13-14
Chemicals: 10-11
Textiles: 12-13
Food: 9-10
Metal: 5
Wood: 11-12
Stone: 7-8
And here's all the bonuses I got at least once, which seems to correlate reasonably well with the normal yield and gives a hint as to which census scores were relevant:

Your country's penchant for travel itineraries produces you an additional Logistics Resource!
Your demonstration of power produces you an additional Logistics Resource!
Your efficient military produces you an additional Logistics Resource!
Your paranoia that something might go wrong produces you an additional Logistics Resource!

Your high-tech industry produces you an additional Knowledge Resource!
Your intelligent populace produces you an additional Knowledge Resource!
Your love for books and publications produces you an additional Knowledge Resource!
Your world-class education system produces you an additional Knowledge Resource!

Your well-funded health sector produces you an additional Chemicals Resource!

Your fast fashion culture produces you an additional Textiles Resource!
Your manufacturing subsidies increase business productivity and produces you an additional Textiles Resource!

Your strong agricultural industry produces you an additional Food Resource!
Your world-renowned cheese manufacturers produce you an additional Food Resource!

Melting spare currency earned by your strong gambling industry produces you an additional Metal Resource!

Recycling furniture offcuts produces you an additional Wood Resource!
Your beautiful environment produces you an additional Wood Resource!
Your strong timber industry produces you an additional Wood Resource!

Decomissioning an old cathedral produces you an additional Stone Resource!
Your strong mining industry produces you an additional Stone Resource!

My people are geniuses. I ended up generating so much knowledge as bonuses that I constantly ended up having more of it than any other resource, without even needing to deliberately generate it. The only time I deliberately generated any significant amounts of knowledge were at the very beginning of the event (before I understood what the different resources were for) and at the very end (when it was too late to craft anything new, and I just wanted to dump in as many raw resources as possible to drive up my ranking).

I really hope they do include such a feature. It would be really nice to see everyone who contributed to each wonder. If, for no other reason, it would make folks feel good for being recognized as having done their part.

I asked for it on the forum, but no response so far. There hasn't even been a news post announcing that the event is over yet.

That was a massive amount of work. Much harder, in my opinion, than the puzzles (which I came to actually enjoy).

They were fun at first. After several hours straight of constantly answering near-identical-looking puzzles to stockpile resources for making a legendary (3840 total!)... twice... I was growing kind of tired of them. Though on the plus side, I can now solve kakuro puzzles in my sleep. Almost literally.
