0 Pickett Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Alright, I've said it before, but I'm saying it again...this is getting ridiculous. So I took the words in bold and removed the letters from the clues...that didn't really pan out. So I tried writing them out in the order that they appear in the words. For example, the first word "HUSBAND" contains the letters of "SUN"...so writing them out in the order they appear becomes "_ U S _ _ N _" Doesn't seem like much, until you do that with ALL of the words: His gasses go to a sun by Clarke HUSBAND _ U S _ _ N _ SLEIGHT S _ _ I _ H _ COWBOYS _ _ _ B _ Y _ AUCTION _ _ _ T _ O _ SCOURGE _ _ O _ _ G _ SLACKER _ L A C K E R ETERNAL _ _ _ _ _ A _ That is the symbol for JUPITER (Clarke...gasses...)

No clue what that is supposed to be So that gives me 5 6 of the 7 words represented by the 7 words represented by the 7 stanzas...Which, if you look at the remaining 7 words from the titles (GASSES TIP EON ELF BYE IN RAKE) you can see that they will probably do the same thing again (Glasses --> Gasses): JUPITER _ _ P I T _ _ DIAMOND _ I _ _ _ N _ BICYCLE B _ _ Y _ _ E EPSILON E _ _ _ _ O N GLASSES G _ A S S E S BRACKET _ R A _ K E _ ???? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (uses letters ELF in it) And because the rest of it is symmetric, I'm guessing that last line is "_ _ E L F _ _" (not necessarily in that order...but in those positions)... So the final picture is of a yin-yang...which happens to be 7 letters. I'm going to say that's the answer. EDIT: Added 6th word (BRACKET)...and deduced the final picture and answer!

0 Pickett Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 There is one line in each stanza that is simply last names:Kent Summers Veight Nah Grayson Queen Dibny -These look to be all super heroes...specifically their "normal" names (Clark Kent, Scott Summers, Dick Grayson are the ones I recognize right away) Bane Baltan Master Zim Belloq Bombe Bart -Belloq leads me to think Indiana Jones, but not sure about any of the others...maybe enemies? Because "Master" is the enemy of the Doctor, and Belloq is Jones' enemy... Weikath Gates Kruspe Mars Linsk Freyberg Malmsteen -I can tell you for sure, these are all guitarists...specifically in the rock/metal genre Cormon Dix Nesch Braque Manet Dowd Nolan -Manet leads me to think painters...but I'm not very adept on this subject to know any others... Zod Karath Bilefroth Gunray Ming Zedd Kay -Maybe Star Wars characters? (Gunray and Karath for sure...or maybe just sci-fi characters) King Sánchez Borlaug 'Bride Gyatso Balch Tum -No clue... Riggs Benson Miller Tyler Hauk Ness Tubbs - I'm guessing these are all names of characters that are police officers in movies (Riggs = Leathal Weapon, Benson = Law and Order, Tubbs = Miami Vice...)

0 Pickett Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 after Googling a few of the names to find commonalities: First is definitely super heroes: Clark Kent (Superman), Scott Summers (Cyclops), ???? Veight (????), Jo Nah (Ultra Boy), Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), Ralph Dibny (Elongated Man) Still thinking villains for the second: Bane (Batman), Baltan (????), Master (Dr. Who), Zim (Invader Zim), Belloq (Indiana Jones), Bombe (????), Bart (Simpsons maybe? some would call him "the bad guy"?) Guitarists for the third (as you can tell from my avatar...this one was easy for me): Weikath (Helloween), Gates (Avenged Sevenfold), Kruspe (Rammstein), Mars (Motley Crue), Linsk (Overkill), Freyberg (Naildown), Malmsteen (...Yngwie!!) Fictional Police characters for the last: Riggs (Leathal Weapon), Benson (Law and Order SVU), Miller (Barney Miller), Tyler (Life on Mars), Hauk (The Wire), Ness (Untouchables), Tubbs (Miami Vice)... Still working on what that actually MEANS, and trying to fill in the other ones...I found that Gyatso is a Dalai Lama... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Taking the first letter of the band the guitarists play in gives the word HARMONY...that CAN'T be coincidence, especially since it's musical in nature... The superheroes I have gives SC?UNGE...which seems CLOSE to a word, but I can't figure it out... Don't see how that applies to the police characters or villians yet either...*hmmm*...

0 Aaryan Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Starting to get the pattern of these types of riddles. Ozymandias was a character from the awesome Watchmen comics, btw. On mobile now, good job Pickett. From what I know, we need to go step by step on this. First the names, then the weird capitalization in the paragraphs as well as the bolded sentences.

0 Aaryan Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) First off, thanks to Family Guy for letting me recognize the name "Manet". That got me on the list of painters, and the rest is (art) history... Fernand Cormon Otto Dix Rolf Nesch Georges Braque Edouard Manet Robert Dowd Sidney Nolan Spells FORGERS. The story so far: SCOURGE BUDDIES(?) HARMONY FORGERS GROVELS Notice anything? All seven letter words. Also, I think Y-san semi/hinted when she said that we are 1/7 done. 7 different paragraphs. Each paragraph is seven lines, each line of names is seven words (and using that as a springboard, EVERY LINE in a paragraph has seven words.) This has got to mean something.

0 DudleyDude Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think the final 2 words are "monster" and "mobster" Famous pacifists Martin Luther King Oscar Arias Sanchez Norman Borlaug Sean MacBride Tenzin Gyatso Emily Balch Rigoberta Menchu Tum TV/Movie Detectives Martin Riggs Olivia Benson Barney Miller Sam Tyler Thomas Hauk Eliot Ness Ricardo Tubbs Also, "buddies" is the right word for 2nd list.

0 DudleyDude Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Each set has a line that is almost the same as a line from one of Shakespeare's Sonnets. For each line, the puzzle replaces the correct word with its antonym. Each missing (original) word is 7 letters long. Eternal (But they truncated …) Against (Proceed the stormy …) Poverty (Although thou steal …) Silence (As victors of …) Fairest (I see descriptions…) Meadows (Kissing with golden …) Quickly (And his love…) 7 seems to be the key. Based on what we know, I'm assuming each clue type will produce 7 letter words. (in fact, I just now noticed that each line in this puzzle consists of 7 words each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aaryan Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 SCOURGE BUDDIES(?) HARMONY FORGERS GROVELS MONSTER MOBSTER All right. We have seven, DD seems to have the lines down.

0 Pickett Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I also found some 7 letter words in there just from the clues: The herder's little lads for bovine named -COWBOYS The brand a gentleman hath wedded gained -HUSBAND Give Godfather this esteem from your heart -RESPECT Two metal discs are clashing thund'rous cry -CYMBALS Remove a smell, and recall depths fallen -DESCENT?? Samantha doth to Darren twitch this feat -BEWITCH? Seems a little too perfect to be coincidence... EDIT: And another: In orchestras their saw work doth prevail -VIOLINS EDIT EDIT: Could this be what the line "With thyself at her solving crossword spree" means? These are cross-word style clues resulting in 7-letter words...If that's the case, then I'm guessing these are also clues as to what we need to do: First: "But thy truncated summer shall not fade"??? Second: "Answers we offer Ven to Shakespeare's best" Third: "With thyself at her solving crossword spree" Fourth: "Bold model vin gris lengthwise sort apply" Fifth: "Words differ til each letter list okay" Sixth: "Discarding space like flattened rag on seat" Seventh: "One minstrel Ian takes a cryptic leap" Maybe we have to do one of those for each line in each stanza...although I don't see how the names would fit one of those...maybe "truncating" them to the first letter?

0 Pickett Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Alright...so going from my above post, I wanted to figure out the "random" capital letters. I first noticed that the only lines in each stanza with the strange capitalization are ones that are comma-separated "clues"...WITH THE EXCEPTION of the "badGe bad badgerS lack errant badgeR badE" line. In each of these lists, ONE of the clues is ALL LOWERCASE, while the other clues each have ONE capital letter. So I figured this was the "Words differ til each letter list okay". Going with that, I used the badger line as an example to basically start from a root word and build up one letter at a time to yet ANOTHER seven letter word related to the one word that doesn't have strange capitalization: bad + E = badE bade + G = badGe badge + R = badgeR badger + S = badgerS With that, here are the ones I found: First: breaTh weary = sigh...sigh + T = SIGHT (gLimpse see) + L = SLIGHT (feEble weight) + E = SLEIGHT (swindle) Second: outer parT = case...case + T = CASTE (famiLy grade) + L = CASTLE (bridgeD fort) + D = CASTLED (swapped) Third: ????? Fourth: fill glUtton = sate...sate + U = SAUTE (oiL lightly fry) + L = SALUTE (commenD) + D = SALUTED (hailed) Fifth: ??? (mouth recites could be "oral" or "orate" or something like that...) Sixth: Scarves some = ties...ties + S = STIES (pig celLblocks) + L = STILES (fence scaFfolds) + F = STIFLES (smothers) Seventh: brOoch needles = pins...pins + O = PIONS (liTtle mesons) + T = PISTON (poSts deep) + S = PISTONS (valves) Whoever came up with this puzzle is sick...keeping all this straight is getting quite cumbersome!!

0 DudleyDude Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 1) It consists of 7 groups of 7 lines. 2) There are 7 different mechanics to solve the lines, with each group having one of each mechanic. a. Changed sonnet lines (solved) i. Eternal, against, poverty, silence, fairest, meadows, quickly b. Grouped names (solved) i. Scourge, buddies, harmony, forgers, grovels, monsters, mobsters c. Cryptic crossword style (mostly solved) i. Cowboys, respect, predict, descent, pardons, progeny, demonic d. Regular crossword style (some solved) i. Husband, ???, cymbals, grecian(???), violins, bewitch, ??? ii. I think the missing clue in 2nd group is the "Mirage leaf.." line which I think has something to do with fig leaves, but I can't get a 7 letter word out of it. iii. I think the missing clue in the last group is the "They spelunk…" line but I haven't come up with a decent 7 letter word for that one either. e. Hidden word (mostly solved) i. ???, fervent, fathers, delving, fertile, dragons, reliant ii. First set might be "slacker" from the "bad badger…" line, but it looks very different from the other lines so I'm not positive about that one. iii. As Pickett pointed out, these lines seem to also loosely describe the 7 mechanics f. Words which grow in size (from 1 letter to 7 letters) i. I don't have a good guess yet how to solve these. g. 7 words with three letters randomly capitalized i. Looks like Pickett cracked how to solve these as I was writing this post I'm assuming that once all the individual lines are solved, that each group of 7 words will each produce a new 7 letter word (maybe each specific group will have a different mechanic somehow related to the bolded lines??).

0 Pickett Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Basically there was one line left in each stanza that we hadn't figured out...and the only clue we hadn't really used was to apply some sort of "lengthwise" sort...so I did just that based on wordlength and took the first letter of the new list of words: A team cut up ornate notched ivory => AUCTION Alas no war, o rebel schemes detest => ONWARDS No order, lest I cue scared escapee => INCLOSE A mixture to each image hue stolen => ATHEISM Enact no clumsy tyrant's plot, I say => INSPECT Thy younger open up a sinker plumb => AUTOPSY Re. outer matrix: spot key, I entreat => IRKSOME I think the only one that I don't know the answer to yet then is "A chap, arms Silver, painter, pRoxy 'tween"...haven't figured out how to build up a seven letter word related to PAINTER from that yet...I think all other lines have been solved His gasses go to a sun by Clarke HUSBANDSLEIGHTCOWBOYSAUCTIONSCOURGESLACKERETERNAL I never did steal a gem tip sceptreONWARDS BUDDIES FERVENT RESPECT CASTLED FIGMENT AGAINST Ride faster my son to rest an eonCYMBALS INCLOSE PREDICT POVERTY FATHERS ???????

0 Pickett Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I figured this would be solved while I was away over the weekend So we have all of the words for all of the lines now. Not really sure where to go next with this...I don't really see much of a relationship between the words. I'm guessing we have to do something with the 8-word titles...It's the only thing in eights...not sevens. I noticed that in a few of the titles, there is a word that's really CLOSE to an anagram of one of the words below it: His gasses go to a sun by Clarke SLACKER (missing "s") I never did steal a gem tip sceptre RESPECT (missing nothing) or CASTLED (missing "c" and "d") Ride faster my son to rest an eon FATHERS (missing "h") Eric the evil elf is east of Eden GRECIAN (missing "g", "a", "n") or DELVING (missing "d", "n", "g") or DESCENT (missing "s", "c", "t") It drops as my vision relief goes bye FERTILE (missing "t") or VIOLINS (missing "l") Rake in one more man to alter luck RELIANT (missing "i" and "n") it COULD just be coincidence, but I feel SOMETHING must be done with the 8-letter titles...just not sure what.

0 Pickett Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) I've been working on what I last posted, and found that all of the words but one in the titles are in the seven answers in each stanza...So the remaining title words are: GASSES TIP EON ELF BYE IN RAKE ...Which means absolutely nothing to me! The only other thing I can think of, is maybe the titles themselves are clues to something and the only ones that make any sense to me are: His gasses go to a sun by Clarke (JUPITER or ODYSSEY...because of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey) I never did steal a gem tip sceptre (DIAMOND or EMERALD...because what other gems do you steal that are 7 letters?) Anyone else finding anything??
