[Hoblit]

So after all the seriousness of the last few days, I thought we should take a lighter track.

That and I have no clue how to get any further,

So if you like puzzles. Check out this one

Its either too late or Im as dumb as a post. I have no idea what to do with that game. I guess I\'ll try again tomorrow.

Evidently the password is expired or \"we\" completed the puzzle? I cannot seem to log on with either lower case or all caps.

Allright, I\'ll participate... Looks like fun! (Though these seem to be some hard puzzles!)

There isn\'t always a question. The solution is always a small sentence, word or number, and you have to find out which one. They\'re hidden in the puzzles, the small text in the beginning is supposed to only give you a hint.

This is really hard.

 

[Hoblit]

Starfall, yup, that\'s why I decided to enlist the aid of CMON. also because I am sure there are people here like me who have to finish puzzles.

I have an idea for the ring around the rosie one. Some of the clues I have got are six letter answer\'s

eg. A-tisket a-tasket a green and yellow basket. Both tisket and basket are clues.

I think that all the answers might be six letters and when you place them in the thing correctly you will get the 16 letters around the central point which is the answer.

 

[StarFyre]

Ok well...

For the ring one...

finding which order though, if that\'s how u do it would be brutal...

think I know a few of them...

Sanjay

 

[Hoblit]

If that is the way you are supposed to do it, the order shouldn\'t be too bad.

One of the answers is Quinsy - European black currant

Getting too words with a non-ordinary starting letter could be the key.

Which answers do you think you have. It might help to compare.

 

[StarFyre]

well...

Curry\'s last name in rocky horror = FURTER
3 = haiku - 14 = SONNET
then we all know TISKET and BASKET
clergyman = PRIEST
Sweet substance of flower = NECTAR
Vultur Gryphus = ANDEAN CONDOR (so either word?)
tornado/whirlwind = (maybe) FUNNEL (ie. funnel clouds)

I thought indian strata would be CASTE but that is the system..not a strata ...

Sanjay

 

[StarFyre]

in addition

There are 16 \'slots\' around the ring. counting clues, 16 in first column, 15 in the other BUT ANDEAN CONDOR is 2 words, so it could make both rings 16 words for 16 slots.

Sanjay

 

[Starfall]

Divided into two - HALVED?

 

[Hoblit]

Clergyman - Priest
Divided into two - halved
Glass parts of a microscope - lenses
Sweet substance of a flower - Nectar
Ambulatory assistance - Crutch (not sure)
Social strata in India - Castes - That\'s what I would have gone for
Tornado or whirlwind - Cyclone (This would be my guess
Suggest or imply - allude (guess)
Vultur gryphus - Condor
Curry last name - Furter
Haiku - sonnet

So theres a couple we agree on and some we don\'t. Man more people need to get involved in this.

The 15 16 thing. I hadn\'t seen that. THat makes me more confident about allude as then we have an A in both columns as a starting letter.

Hokey Pokey:
for the hints:

1) Sci Fi

4) mayday

6) Quiet Riot

4) mayday

This was originally French? Like \"M\'aidez!\"? I didn\'t know that...

10) Electromagnetic pulse, too long, EMP, too short, perhaps EM Pulse? 2 words and 7 chars. Or probably Stun Gun?
What about the letters (\"PDB\' FHNG RSL\")?

 

[StarFyre]

hmm....

i think we need both parts of andean condor since 16 for one way, then condor for the other way around...

like you may have to write it twice to get 2 words for the answer?

Ok, so I am not the best with puzzles, but.. did you get all of the word answers to ring around the rosie? I think I have come up with some possibilities.

so, let me know, and I will add them here if you are still looking for 6 letter words.
