0 Guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I hate giving hints, because hints on these type things can lead up totally up the wrong tree. IF anyone wants a hint, I'll give one. Otherwise, I'd rather leave as is. Have I found a puzzle that has everyone here stumped?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, if you're counting "points," then why does the tip of the A count and not the junction of the L? That has nothing to do with answer, BUT for future thoughts during analysis, perhaps.

I'll say, though, SAYING IT is the way to solve this one. This is the only hint I will give. It involves speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 you can NOT get this one by conventional thinking. Don't try to convert the letters to anything, don't think the letters represent anything special. The answer lies entirely in the the result you get from saying each individual letter. so I have just totally told you how to get the answer and I STILL think it's virtually impossible to figure out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 The answer is English, right? Because I've been thinking all sorts of words that work with Spanish. If it's a Spanish word then I have to throw a yellow flag for a foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
