    I love that illusion.

  4. FileGarlicspamwise on Nov 28, 2007 06:06 PM

    I didn't even realize how cool that was until I looked again. :)

    Heh, the opposite for me, I was trying to figure out the answers to the phrases but I kept getting distracted.

    Nice

  9. FileGrapesthedude on Nov 28, 2007 06:10 PM

    So the sequence is an illusion. Or a red herring.

  11. FileGarlicBlueDevilDucky on Nov 28, 2007 06:16 PM

    the clues and the answers? No. They are part of the solve method.

  12. FileWatermeloncapecodjewel on Nov 28, 2007 06:18 PM

    Yeah, I got it!

    i think i have the seven words (maybe just six), but i can't figure out how to use the diagram in the center.

  14. FileAppleMCTMike on Nov 28, 2007 06:21 PM

    [13] I didn't see any use for the bullseye in the middle either... I got it without it.

  15. Avatar_profileGrapesSledgeFist on Nov 28, 2007 06:22 PM

    [14] hmm.... now i'm questioning my word accuracy

  16. FileAcegameczar on Nov 28, 2007 06:25 PM

    Just for the record. I found 4 possible answers using the solve method. So try all four, when you find them, before giving up on the solve method.

  17. MePumpkinMustangChick72 on Nov 28, 2007 06:25 PM

    i haven't any idea....salt if you have it please

  18. Avatar_profileGrapesSledgeFist on Nov 28, 2007 06:28 PM

    well i just got it, but it was pure guess. i'm trying to backtrack for the solve method but i don't see it so far. damn optical illusion.....

  19. FilePumpkinJohn on Nov 28, 2007 06:31 PM

    The words demonstrate a progression of pairs. You're looking for an 8th word

  20. FileBananarissa2sassy on Nov 28, 2007 06:35 PM

    What is up with all of the S's?

  21. FileAppleDalan on Nov 28, 2007 06:36 PM

    [16] If you got all 7 clues, there's only one possible answer, and it's forced on you (atleast that's what I found).

  22. Avatar_profileAppletravelocity on Nov 28, 2007 06:38 PM

    [13][14]Once I got the bullseye, the rest of the puzzle fell into place. (I already had the seven words.)

    [16] I disagree, while there are nine possible answers (counting non-word answers the solve method yields) there is a clear choice amongst them. The pattern is well defined enough no trial-and-error is necessary.

    [20] You might say that the puzzle is centered around all the S's

    Trying to keep the salt to a reasonable level... lemme know if more is needed.

  23. FileAppleLegomancer on Nov 28, 2007 06:40 PM

    migraine time!

  24. Avatar_profileAceGertSoB on Nov 28, 2007 06:43 PM

    [11], no, there's a sequence in there, which is perfectly logical and regular, and ought to point to a specific solution, except that it isn't a word I've ever heard of. But I tried it anyway, and it was wrong. The actual answer doesn't follow the sequence.

  25. FileGrapesthedude on Nov 28, 2007 06:44 PM

    wow, i didn't even use the circle; what the heck is it for? i found the answer by guessing, but backsolving revealed a very limited (5) number of possibilities. only 2 really go with the theme, but the more basic one ended up the correct one.

  26. FileGrapesthedude on Nov 28, 2007 06:46 PM

    [24] you're right, but maybe that extra constraint was coincidence? just giving the benefit of the doubt to the puzzlemaker...

  27. FileAcegameczar on Nov 28, 2007 06:58 PM

    [21][22] I agree that the correct one is obvious by applying the pattern. Still the other words are possible, just a bit outside the pattern.

  28. Avatar_profileAppletravelocity on Nov 28, 2007 07:33 PM

    [27] If you use the circle diagram, there is only one that fits the way I solved it. Later, I managed to figure out where the extra 4 other (making 5) or 8 other (making 9) words came from once [16] pointed them out.

  29. Avatar_profilePlumfnord on Nov 29, 2007 12:39 PM

    Urh, I kept using the verb form of the clue's word, when I needed the noun form.
