  6. Soccer_ballCheeseburgersoccer_ref on Mar 11, 2008 07:11 PM

    salt?

  7. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Mar 11, 2008 07:11 PM

    Think of a puzzle that might look like this.

    2 top 10s today! Yippie!

  8. FileTomatoMurdoctor on Mar 11, 2008 07:15 PM

    [6] Just reflect on it for a while.

  9. New_scout_logoCheeseburgerscoutmom on Mar 11, 2008 07:16 PM

    I think my eyes are crossing looking at this one!

  10. FilePepperVerve640 on Mar 11, 2008 07:18 PM

    [8] - Merci beaucoup...

  11. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Mar 11, 2008 07:18 PM

    Imagine the numbers are light sources....

  12. FilePepperslog on Mar 11, 2008 07:20 PM

    Pretty slick. Thanks [8].

  13. Img_0189Egggst on Mar 11, 2008 07:23 PM

    Nice puzzle.

    And way too much salt this early in, IMO.

  14. FileSailboatzyzzva on Mar 11, 2008 07:27 PM

    i still dont get it...
    wat am i suppose to be looking for?

  15. FileEggplantsuigeneris on Mar 11, 2008 07:28 PM

    [11] Thanks, just what I needed.

  16. FilePumpkinBigSlick on Mar 11, 2008 07:35 PM

    [9] It's not one of those kinda puzzles, is it? I am sitting here with my eyes crossed and the puzzle turns all 3D-like, but I don't see an answer in there anywhere - and now I am all dizzy.

  17. FileRadishBetaPrime on Mar 11, 2008 07:39 PM

    If you having problem with this puzzle, maybe you would like to play a game of Khet

  18. Avatar_profileOrangelilpele22 on Mar 11, 2008 07:39 PM

    You solved this puzzle in 31 minutes and 18 seconds and were the 80th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 31 points for solving this.

    woow.. i can't believe i figured out a method. This is super fun. [11] that helped a ton... too much in my opinion.

  19. FileSailboatsteve59 on Mar 11, 2008 07:39 PM

    [16] No. That would be cruel. No one should ever post a stereogram as a puzzle. They are evil, and painful, and pretty migraine-y (they're also awfully easy to defeat by just loading them into the right computer program, so that's pretty weak).

  20. Current.deal.avOnionmonocle on Mar 11, 2008 07:42 PM

    nice puzzle.

  21. FileDuckieescKey on Mar 11, 2008 07:42 PM

    Nice! That must have taken a while to develop.

  22. FileSailboatzyzzva on Mar 11, 2008 07:48 PM

    thanks [17]. definitely a good and fun puzzle.

  23. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 11, 2008 08:01 PM

    number 7 doesn't seem to lead me anywhere, and 1 seems to lead to two

  24. FileSailboatsteve59 on Mar 11, 2008 08:28 PM

    [23] it might be easier to print it out, then. I could trace it out on my monitor, but ymmv on your computer.

  25. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 11, 2008 08:50 PM

    wow, even with pasting it into paint I can't make it work... is it one letter per number?

  26. English_d_betterApplemrdehate on Mar 11, 2008 09:10 PM

    This reminds me of a really old Mac game that I used to play, the name of which escapes me. Entertaining puzzle though, I like it.

  27. FileSailboatsteve59 on Mar 11, 2008 09:12 PM

    [25] each number does only end up with one letter in the end, yes.

  28. FileKiwiDullorb on Mar 11, 2008 09:24 PM

    beaut

  29. Avatar_profilePeachtotalcult on Mar 12, 2008 02:41 AM

    [26] It wasn't The Fool's Errand, was it?

  30. Thunk_logo_colorPotatofachanlahd on Mar 12, 2008 06:04 AM

    fun puzzle.

  31. FileCheeseburgerQurqirishDragon on Mar 12, 2008 06:12 AM

    [26] there is a similar game often called "black box", where all you get are the outside bits, and you need to figure out what's inside.

  32. FilePearBigRob68 on Mar 12, 2008 08:35 AM

    that was a very fun puzzle. good job, henwy

  33. FileAppledlandon2000 on Mar 12, 2008 11:48 AM

    a truly unique puzzle that was fun to solve, after [11]'s salt that is.

  34. FilePumpkinJohn on Mar 12, 2008 12:22 PM

    [26] Oxyd?

    This is a cool clone:
    http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/index.html

  35. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 12, 2008 01:23 PM

    could someone TG me a hint on this one? I keep trying, and I get letters that don't make a word...

  36. FileApplepahool on Mar 12, 2008 01:28 PM

    Thanks [26]. I burned so much time playing Oxyd back in the day.

    I'm doomed...

  37. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 12, 2008 01:57 PM

    ugh, is it a picture I should be looking for rather than letters?

  38. FileOnionTwench on Mar 12, 2008 02:26 PM

    There is no image to look for in the picture. 8 and 11 are good salt, but imagine a laser instead of a simple light bulb

  39. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 12, 2008 02:41 PM

    [38] The laser and mirror method is what I tried, but I got letters that didn't make a word. I am being too dense about this!

  40. Tanga_profile_photoEggWhiteKnight85 on Mar 12, 2008 02:59 PM

    [39] I originally saw the letter I as the digit 1, which really gave me some strange answers. Is it possible that you're doing the same? The digit 1 is on the left side of the box.

  41. FileOnionTwench on Mar 12, 2008 03:05 PM

    Try 3 or 4 first to get a feel for it. 1 was the hardest for me to follow.

  42. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 12, 2008 03:14 PM

    Thanks for the hints. I now have the word, thanks to a very welcome Tangagram, but I still have no idea how to get it.

    This is why I always struggle with any spatial relations questions in IQ tests. My brain won't go there.

    For me and the way my brain works, the number 3 should get me an "S" in this puzzle.

  43. FileDuckienrkii on Mar 12, 2008 03:25 PM

    NOW I see it. Right angles! Aaaaaargh!!!!!

  44. Avatar_profileAppleRPMiller on Mar 12, 2008 03:30 PM

    The secret is in the "right angle". It only took the first 4 letters to get the whole puzzle, but that was fun!

  45. English_d_betterApplemrdehate on Mar 12, 2008 04:30 PM

    [29], [34], [36] I don't think it was Oxyd, but I definitely remember that game and it was awesome as well. I still don't remember what the game was, but I found a posting on another site with a guy looking for the same thing (and not finding it)! [31] Black Box was close, but I remember seeing the slashes in the maze. Good times, good times!

  46. FilePumpkinJohn on Mar 12, 2008 04:43 PM

    [45] and I remember this Flash based game, called Reflections:

  47. ShoeAppleslightlyslapdash on Jan 13, 2009 12:57 PM

    Once I understood what I needed to do, it was fun! :)

  48. Green_vase_of_magnolias_and_ferns_smKiwiKhloe on Dec 03, 2010 12:09 PM

    Hum, even after seeing the solution, I think it depends on how you bounce it.

  49. Untitled-1PumpkinAdamMcD on Jun 16, 2011 08:22 PM

    This puzzle would have greatly benefited from a carefully draw out grid with lines that were exactly at 45-degree angles. Very cool idea though.
