0 itachi-san Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 the moon nope, but it's nice to see a guess after about 500 looks it's a toughie. i got tired of these Braindenizens answering my riddles so quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 It's probably better/easier for the third clue to look like: My 7, 1, 9, 3, 4, 5, 2, 11, 16, 8, 14, and 6 is a (cryptic) martini choice or My 7, 1, 9, 3, and 4 is a martini choice hopefully this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wow, I've been staring at this all day...and I managed to get *exactly* as far as Prof T (well, except for the long part of #3, that is), where I've now been stuck for hours. Just wanted to point out that Supandi was indeed correct with #2, he just didn't reveal the actual word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw that long line of words I didn't even bother reading it and assumed it was incorrect... my bad edit: and btw, there's a hint in my response to Prof. Templeton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i think this is it 9 In. Violet Olive on top Vol. 9 Vote No Love Potion No. 9 nice job! I even thought I had #1 and the whole thing, but I couldn't make it workto use spaces and dots, even when I looked at the whole and said to myself "there's too many characters for it to be that!" I never did get #4, though. What does that mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i think this is it 9 In. Violet Olive on top Vol. 9 Vote No Love Potion No. 9 Nice work! And on your first post even. Great job Supandi, Prof, CL and lupetu! Nice teamwork there. here's my hint before: Wow! You are soooo close Prof! Spot on with #2, and the shortened version of #3. #4 you are right on track. You're rounding third and there's not much space between you and home! CL: Vol. 9 of the book series Wheel of Time is called Winter's Heart. I figured since the phrase 'winter's heart' is uncommon it would inspire some googling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
