Well, you won the grand prize... a trip to Hawaii! You're so so excited for this long-deserved vacation. You arrive in Hawaii... only to find that your bag took an entirely different flight... on purpose! (THAT is why you tip the guys that took your bag at the curbside check-in.)

The airline had this anonymous note in their system,

We've sent your bag on its own vacation,

It'll have fun in a South American nation!

Obviously upset, you buy an atlas (that was WAY more expensive than normal having come from an airport gift shop) and look at all of South America.

The airport employee then tells you that they found another message in their system:

descend without finality + not post meridiem + you + melancholy + the kernel is a vital part of it = 12 letters

Where in the world is your bag?

descend without finality - fall but without an L so just FAL

+ not post meridiem - ante meridiem so just AM

+ you - U

+ melancholy - SAD

+ the kernel is a vital part of it - - it's a part of the seed... but I can't assemble anything out of this :lol:

Hope this will help somebody! :)

I think this is the hardest of my "Wheredunit"s. You got not post meridiem right, but none of the others are right. Keep trying!

OK, a serious stretch I know but here goes....

Suriname

descend without finality - ?

+ not post meridiem - ante meridiem so just AM (thanks andromeda)

+ you - Me

+ melancholy - SAD (Thanks andromeda again!)

+ the kernel is a vital part of it - ear (as in an ear of corn)

so put it all together and u get ?, Am, ME, Sad, EAR = SEAR?AmME the first clue (?) may be "an or in" somehow but its prob just 2 letters

With the 2 part of answers agreed by SvenJOLLY, and the latest one that andromeda guess.

_ _ _ _ amisad _ _ ? (6 / 12 letter consumed, left 6, could it be 4 front and 2 end, 3 front and 3 end ........)

If add in FV or MDAri guess:

FV: _ _ _ _ amisados

MDAri: _ _ _ amisadear

any clues?

I initially thought that the 12 letters would be a South American city, which would then lead, of course, to a specific country. That may be incorrect though. Perhaps it is a famous national park, a tourist resort, even a mountain range, or something like that to lead to a country.

Sink - k = Sin

+ am

+ me, I or u - SvenJOLLY already reject the answer 'me' and 'U', so left 'I' or some thing else

+sad

os (the kernel is part of teh operating system).

But what the heck is Sinammesados?

Sinamisados?

Response in your spoiler already.

descend without finality = desc

+ not post meridiem = am

+ you = i

+ melancholy = sad

+ the kernel is a vital part of it = os

It's in...

Spoiler for answer here:

Argentina

Welcome to the Den and nice thinking!!! I can't believe I didn't see the first one, so obvious :rolleyes:

This is probably the answer because the other one is only 11 letters and this one is 12! :)

Nice riddle Sven! :D

Descending without finality is a RIVER!!!!

Rio de Janeiro!!!!

this is my first time posting so i'm not sure if i'm using this right.

is the answer Rio De Janeiro?

I assumed the first clue meant river for the descen w/out fianlity?

It falls after the meridians?

Melancholy refers to "The Marvelous City"

WOW!!! Sorry I wasn't here to help along the way, but apparently you didn't need me!

mc1010 kicks trash! And was completely right!

descend without finality (desc) + not post meridiem (am) + you (I) + melancholy (sad) + the kernel is a vital part of it (operating system or os) = 12 letters DESCAMISADOS (The shirtless ones) This is what the people of Argentina were referred to during the reign of Juan and Eva Peron. Way to go all of you who contributed!

I think this was my best one yet!

Hi chikn luver, welcome to the Den. Usually when you respond to a riddle you'll put the things you think are answers into a "spoiler" you insert them by clicking "Insert: Spoiler" on the left side of the screen.

Nice try at this one! Try some others!
