The Cahills vs. Vespers Puzzle / Gideon's Ring Puzzle is similar to the Jefferson Puzzle because it is composed of one card from the each of the books, and now it has all the cards from the Card Packs. The puzzle shows what seems to be constellations and zodiac signs and a shape that resembles Gideon's Ring. In the middle is the antikythera.
