    9th! :)

  2. FileSailboatyelowflower on Mar 09, 2008 07:03 PM

    place to start?

  3. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Mar 09, 2008 07:06 PM

    The symbols are NOT related to swear words

  4. FileSailboatzyzzva on Mar 09, 2008 07:06 PM

    this was a good one. [2]the symbols arent just rubbish.

  5. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Mar 09, 2008 07:08 PM

    I have some stuff but can't apply it to anything that makes sense.

  6. FileSailboatzyzzva on Mar 09, 2008 07:09 PM

    [5] use the background pic

  7. FilePumpkinBluefaith on Mar 09, 2008 07:11 PM

    not a unique puzzle, easily googleable.

  8. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Mar 09, 2008 07:11 PM

    [6] I would if I could. :)

  9. FileRocketBearcat89 on Mar 09, 2008 07:13 PM

    This one brings back memories of high school and Mrs. Kreuger's class. She was the last teacher that I know of that still would rap your knuckles with a ruler if she caught you goofing off. If you finished your time trials early in the week, you could surreptitiously goof off during time trials later in the week, but if you got caught....WHACK!

  10. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Mar 09, 2008 07:14 PM

    This is a second-tier puzzle, in my opinion. :-)

    No offense intended by that.

  11. FileEggplantjtotheh on Mar 09, 2008 07:16 PM

    I don't know why the method didn't come to me earlier.

  12. Avatar_profileAppleAviN456 on Mar 09, 2008 07:17 PM

    This puzzle pushed me up to 5001 points! Brand new STU here!

  13. FileDuckieescKey on Mar 09, 2008 07:19 PM

    [12] congrats

  14. FilePepperpepperhead on Mar 09, 2008 07:26 PM

    AWESOME puzzle a breath of fresh air

  15. Img_0189Egggst on Mar 09, 2008 07:28 PM

    Very neat...
    but hard for a Dvorak guy.

  16. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Mar 09, 2008 07:32 PM

    I really must be going about it wrong. Or misinterpreting the background image. Sigh.

  17. FileEggentropy on Mar 09, 2008 07:32 PM

    [15] Ah! Thanks. That did it.

    All I could come up with was downright.

  18. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Mar 09, 2008 07:32 PM

    [17] One of my many answers. :)

  19. FilePeppercyncat on Mar 09, 2008 07:38 PM

    [11] I thought of your old puzzle when I saw this.

  20. FilePeppercyncat on Mar 09, 2008 07:40 PM

    [14] I agree with pepperhead. Nice one, joey.

  21. English_d_betterApplemrdehate on Mar 09, 2008 07:50 PM

    [15] got it for me too. I'm not sure I would have succeeded without that...

  22. FileGarlicmartinp13 on Mar 09, 2008 08:02 PM

    The arrow should be at about 160 degrees, not 135. :)

  23. Current.deal.avOnionmonocle on Mar 09, 2008 08:03 PM

    good one. this reminds me of another puzzle from not too long ago that required a very similar method... although the puzzle and answer were very different.

  24. FilePotatorevchewie on Mar 09, 2008 08:14 PM

    [15] Me, too. That was just the FMHG I needed!

    Good one, Joey!

  25. FileEggmnemonica on Mar 09, 2008 08:32 PM

    I liked this one a lot.

  26. FilePumpkinthorboy on Mar 09, 2008 08:56 PM

    i'm so pathetically lost

  27. Avatar_profileStrawberryWontGrowUp on Mar 09, 2008 09:07 PM

    Need to keep your eyes open to answer this one.

  28. Avatar_profileGrapesHrebec on Mar 09, 2008 09:23 PM

    Man these puzzles are downright hard!

  29. Ag1Potatojeep on Mar 09, 2008 09:29 PM

    Very happy that I have a US QWERTY keyboard... For those who don't:

    g'nite

  31. FilePlumtada on Mar 09, 2008 10:06 PM

    [23] It might have been this one of mine:

  32. FilePlumseasidebruin on Mar 09, 2008 10:46 PM

    don't know how I figured that out

  33. FilePumpkinJohnQ118 on Mar 09, 2008 11:50 PM

    this WAS easy.

  34. FileRocketokmaybenot on Mar 10, 2008 02:49 AM

    Thank you [29]! I've been using a non-US keyboard for so long that I can't remember where everything is on an American one anymore.

  35. Avatar_profilePeachtotalcult on Mar 10, 2008 03:01 AM

    ...for anyone in the UK still having difficulty with the symbols, it translates to this on the UK keyboard layout:

    %^)£"$*%£$

    (Incicentally if you have a Mac the one in the puzzle should work fine)

  36. FileSailboatcmg528 on Mar 10, 2008 04:52 AM

    thanks [31] without the reference I don't think I would have figured it out

  37. FileKiwishiggins on Mar 10, 2008 05:36 AM

    [17] thanks, that did it for me

  38. FilePearBigRob68 on Mar 10, 2008 06:32 AM

    i know what to do, i don't know how to do it.

  39. FilePumpkinJohn on Mar 10, 2008 07:10 AM

    [38] Then you don't know what to do. Sending Tangagram

  40. Avatar_profileBananawhitastic on Mar 10, 2008 10:44 AM

    Nice puzzle, so long as you have a US keyboard

  41. FileSailboatyelowflower on Mar 10, 2008 01:40 PM

    [31] thanks for posting that, I went back and learned how to solve it and then came here and did.....sigh, finally, got all four of yesterdays done.

  42. FileOrangedebsprpldragon on Mar 10, 2008 01:57 PM

    I'm SOO lost..even the salt's not helping

  43. FileBananagrant5 on Mar 10, 2008 03:22 PM

    [22] Not sure of the coordinate system you're using. I'd say it's either at 315 or -45. Which system measures from the vertical axis?

  44. Avatar_profileOrangesvallee on Mar 10, 2008 03:45 PM

    This is definitely not an easy puzzle if you're on a non-US keyboard ...

  45. Pigeon.poop.payoffApplemdin617 on Mar 10, 2008 05:21 PM

    Ergonomic keyboards also make things less obvious.

  46. FileOrangedebsprpldragon on Mar 10, 2008 05:59 PM

    Crap..I don't know what I was looking at! Thanks for tg [39]
    Only took me 4 hours..ugh
