Exception which means it could be 4 check hole 2 fox is in 5 check hole 3 fox is in 4 check hole 4 fox is in 3 check hole 2 fox is back in 4

@planglazed would you like a spreadsheet or would you like to see me (almost on my own) guess your word in around 10 guesses or less(again)?

Notes that may help someone * there are 12 different keys in the foreground * there are 16 cogs on the tree * there are 3 different colours for branches on the cog tree * there are 4 real cogs (with a number of sub-cogs) * there are 4 cog shadows * the bottom most shadow appears to be a shadow of the real cog next to it * the upper two shadow cogs mirror the lowest cog (folding the picture frame into quarters would allow them to overlap)

"Steve" asked me to follow him. Either he reasoned that it was expedient to go near the beast or meeting it was as much of a surprise to him as it was to me. I don't see the relevance of your question to the crime I am accused of, unless you have already acknowledged the shark presence and thus found me not guilty.

My spreadsheet can figure it out in approx 5 more guesses. 10 bonus points if you can guess the word in 5 or less guesses

There is only one answer when you take into account that certain numbers need to be opposite each other The way I worked it out was by observing that the dice has landed each time on a different axis, If it had been the same axis at least 2 of the sides (total - front & top) would have been the same value. I then did a brute force by assuming first that the third throws top and front was 1,5 and then 2,4. This would mean that the sides for the first two throws would both need to include either 1 or 5, or 2 or 4. also means that we can eliminate (1,15 and 5,11) or (2,14 and 4,12) fr

_ _ _ _ _ OK go

PS: TARES is a good word to start with (Or I could be leading you astray)

Then it must be UNION That or ANION After this round as host I am going to have to retire from ROLLO. I have developed a spreadsheet you see which tells me the remaining words that are allowable and the letter/letters that will be most likely for the next word. Given this obvious advantage I cannot in good conscience continue.

If PUSHY is 0 try ONION if ONION is 1 go for RHINO

PUSHY
