0 Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the den Exelcior for future reference please put guess and answers in spoilers. I'm for it having something to do with the elements. Especially since Andromeda specifically stated 1-2 letter answers. If they were all under atomic number of 26 I'd guess a substitution code.....but unfortunately Pu plutonium is 94....oh well....back to the drawing board BTW....excellent job Nikyma and Cherry Lane on solving them.

0 Nikyma Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry I kinda hogged them. I haven't participated in one of Andromeda's puzzles in a while for that reason. Once I start solving, I can't help but keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Sorry I kinda hogged them. I haven't participated in one of Andromeda's puzzles in a while for that reason. Once I start solving, I can't help but keep going. Actually I started laughing. I saw the puzzle start, then because I was worried about hogging the previous puzzle (I was traveling on business so sitting around the hotel nothing better to do) I said, let me just answer them for myself then get the "solution" and then start entering them. That lasted for all of about 4 answers then I re-logged in and they were pretty much all solved...sat there laughing, cause you could see where you entered one...then another...then just rattled off a bunch. What we need is an email saying ready set....GO....... so we can all start at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
