tennant Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That area of Sydney shown in the photograph is known as Circular Quay. Thought I'd throw in a bit of local knowledge for any other Antipodeans! Now we just need Binky to stop working and come up with a new puzzle...

Surely a circular quay would form the complete perimeter of a closed lake. Silly Australians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBinky Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Okay clue time: (my brother's got it, but it's only 4:30am in the Northern Territories so it'll be a while until he's online, so in the meantime here's a clue so that you've got a chance to pip him to the post) Pic 3 is a verb (in the context of the picture) Pic 5 & 6, the words required are written on the images, and in the images I picked your attention is drawn to them.

Nickenstein79 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well holy flip, if this is correct, then this puzzle is just ridiculous! Urn - Dorn - Aim - Mauve - Darfur - Thar In the name of the father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBinky Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well you say that, but you did get it. I'll admit the "In the" at the start is a bit shonky, but I stand by n"aim mauve dafur thar" as sounding quite a lot like n"ame of the father". And I deliberately picked images where Dafur was the only bit in red, and the Thar desert was the only bit that was bright and with a drop shadow, So, yes. Correct.

Nickenstein79 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yay! Incidentally, the Thar desert was the one thing I kept ignoring rather than having my eye drawn to it. I didn't even notice it had a drop shadow until now. I was fixated on the Indus and the Himalayas. Also Darfur had me trying to think of things with Arthur in the title.

tennant Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 My ignorance had me assuming each picture could only be one syllable, so I was repeatedly hitting my head against a brick wall. Because of that I'd discarded 'In the Name of the Father'; a guess made from 'Urn' and 'Thar' alone, because I couldn't justify the rest of it. After a few cheeky clues (and explanations of the rules), I managed it in the end. But I couldn't, in all sincerity, claim to have *solved* it! Congrats Nickenstein though on a proper toughie. Bring the next one down a notch or tow? My head hurts after that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickenstein79 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Sorry for stealing your thunder, Tennant. Have a crack at this one, while this side of the planet has a sleep. Category switcharoo time... (Edit - Puzzles can be of any topic the puzzle setter chooses.) Classic Literature: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennant Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hmm, so far all I've got is 'Mulder-Wrong-Horn-Pres-?' for 'Murder on the Orient Express' which requires switching the last 2 pictures and making up a word! Think I need to look at a new way of attacking this one...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
