If you ever have problems with your order, we'll do everything we can to make it right.
As a small company (8 of us total), we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.
I have the first step that links these, but can't quite seem to find the final answer.
edit: Ah, need to stick with the first.
I've never watched the show at the bottom, so I know nothing about it. Does that hurt me?
[2] Not if you know how to use IMDB.
Oh, I've been searching imdb (and googling - did you know there's a company somewhere called "A La Mode Scrubs"?) but I just have no idea what I'm looking for. I thought maybe if you had intimate knowledge of the show, the connection to pie a la mode would be apparent, because it's not to me.... :(
There's an episode of Scrubs in which JD talks about pie for a couple minutes straight (a very funny scene actually), but I doubt this puzzle would be that specific. Therefore, I have no idea where to start.
The pie a la mode sign is the background. It's supposed to merely hint at something that's related to the foreground music image. So I suggest starting with "music" and "mode".
[6] Thank you.
Meh. There were too many ways to interpret the connection, as [1] noted; and having the background hint at what to do with half the foreground is less than elegant.
[8] I don't agree that background hints are inelegant. This particular puzzle can be solved without the background, but it's a bit easier with that hint.
[9] I don't think he meant that it's inelegant in general, but that it was inelegant for it to hint at only half.
I think this was meant as three elements to be taken top to bottom, but the first element was taken unfortunately used as the background. Even after having the connection, you still don't know what to do because you don't get the direction you were supposed to go in.
[10] Okay, I do see that interpretation of the remarks in [8], and I'll agree with them. I'm not trying to defend this puzzle because I didn't like it. I personally think the answer should have been the result of the next-to-last step. The last step was unnecessary and unclued.
Sorry, guys. This was my first attempt at a puzzle. Thanks for the feedback.
I hope some of you enjoyed it anyways.....
I managed to get it without figuring out how the background image fit in. I just looked at the scale and thought, "Oh, that's in ------ ----." Maybe 12 years of piano lessons were good for something, after all. :)
Actually, I think this puzzle was good if, as [11] said, the next-to-last step was the answer.
Having to go that last step seemed to be a bit of a stretch.
Good idea; the execution of it just stumbled a little.
Oh, so glad I peeked because I would never have gotten the answer.....well, maybe if I had 12 years of piano, but I didn't.
As others have noted, this would have been much better (or at least more fun) if the next to last step (the one with the cool AHA!) were the final one.
