0 itachi-san Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Itach-san . What is it? The Yeti (Abominable Snowman) or the walrus or neither. So far nobody has gotten the right answer. Just try to apply a yeti or a walrus to all 4 lines, and neither fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 If the fourth line is anything to go by , it is a penguin. Caricature generally implies a portrait in black and white. Many also use colours , but I will go with penguins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 etch-a-sketch This is an awesome answer! I would say it fits a little too loose with the 2nd and 4th lines though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Ok, everyone keeps giving providing things that are alive as answers. By line two I'm convinced it's an activity of sorts. Could you provide the correct direction between the two aforementioned choices? Thanks for this HORRIBLE puzzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide the correct direction between the two aforementioned choices? Thanks for this HORRIBLE puzzle You're very welcome. Since nobody's solved it yet, it can't be THAT horrible And a no for Rubik's cube. It doesn't fit the 4th line. That's also a good try, though Etch-a-sketch is still my favorite attempt.

Thanks for this HORRIBLE puzzle OK, since this one seems to be dying out I'll point the way. Yes, there are 2, maybe more, ways to read the second line. The intended direction is toward the living. But the duality was intended to make the riddle more difficult. Edited March 30, 2008 by itachi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 itachi-san - another excellent puzzle. you have a way of making these seem just easy enough for me to think I can get them and hard enough for me to drive myself crazy trying to come up with an answer. exactly what a good puzzle should be. an owl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Bononova's already made this guess , but still I will proceed with my reasoning. The Polar bear? This sort of fits . Because it lives in northern region(Arctic, though not sure about the southern plains). It has been hunted for centuries. And even now they are being hunted. And again caricature may mean a colorless portrait. And I entirely agree with Alfred. Edited March 31, 2008 by grey cells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
itachi-san
Found on the northern snow and on the southern plain
Even though many have bested this game
Millions still revel in its name
A caricaturist makes it say the same
Just thought this one up, hope you all like it
