    my first ever first :D
    too bad you still only get three points...

  2. Space_shuttleGrapesmedleya on Mar 23, 2011 12:20 PM

    This one is a doozy?????

  3. Disavatar_profileGarlicDIS on Mar 23, 2011 12:30 PM

    I believe the picture shows a wimple, although it was enough for me to solve it.

  4. Space_shuttleGrapesmedleya on Mar 23, 2011 12:36 PM

    Understand it's a wimple and understand what centripetal and centrifugal are talking about but cannot put the words together with the shape.

  5. FileTomatoRagspur on Mar 23, 2011 12:46 PM

    Never heard of a wimple before. Had I known that I might have changed it. This is one that stumped the puzzle gods and they couldn't figure out how to fix it.

  6. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Mar 23, 2011 01:02 PM

    [5] So if it's a wimple but you apparently didn't intend us to use the word "wimple", then what are we supposed to use?

  7. Phi3CornPhilana on Mar 23, 2011 01:03 PM

    I haven't solved this, but I'm pretty sure that hat is not called a wimple.

  8. ErwinPepperTangaAl on Mar 23, 2011 01:09 PM

    I guess what I'd like to know is if the object inside the circle is significant, or do we need to find the phrase for the action being performed?

  9. Avatar_profileRockettapitcher on Mar 23, 2011 01:27 PM

    That's not a wimple. Think nuns...

  10. FileTomatoRagspur on Mar 23, 2011 01:37 PM

    [9] Yeah, when you google the word that it represents, all it shows was nuns. Of course that could have been a puzzle using the word nun, but I thought it might be too obscure.

    The circle only serves to make sure you draw the two things together (what the word represents) and (the thing that's obviously not called a wimple, but is called something else that looks just like it)

    I also thought of using mother nature in there, but I couldn't get it to work without having to do the minus thing (you know like an image of a pickle and then -le so you would use the word pick.

    Thinking... Thinking... Nothing!

  12. FilePumpkinJohn on Mar 23, 2011 04:10 PM

    Finally got it. The text is trying to clue you a word also related to Jedi powers...

  13. Dsc00764Potatosphenderson2008 on Mar 23, 2011 06:35 PM

    Forgot I was doing a crypto

  14. Julia20Sailboatjila58 on Mar 23, 2011 06:54 PM

    It's not just the hat, but the whole outfit that would go with the hat. Alternately, formal womens' clothing for horseback riding in times past. Ignore the blue arrow, it's misleading, the real question is what is the black arrow.

  15. Bp3Eggendel3 on Mar 23, 2011 07:10 PM

    Ugh---didn't really care for it....but certainly not the worst!

  16. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Mar 23, 2011 07:12 PM

    The white piece on the nun's head, if I'm reading right is a Coif, which is a cap secured by a bandeau or wimple of starched linen to cover the cheeks and neck. The black piece over it is the veil. The word desired here appears to be for the tunic or to describe the outfit as a whole.

  17. 100_1703Eggsonjahi on Mar 23, 2011 07:13 PM

    And while the info about the arrows in [14] got me close enough for my husband behind me to finally get it, it is a little misleading itself. There are TWO back arrows - see [12], and you are interested in the one circled and indicated by the blue arrow.

  18. Avatar_profileOrangestefe1202 on Mar 23, 2011 07:55 PM

    First time under 100...WOW!!! Not any easy one

  19. NessaPeachalabamasax on Mar 23, 2011 07:56 PM

    Definitely not getting this one.

  20. 50s_womanCarrotpennyb9 on Mar 23, 2011 08:49 PM

    [7] - Sorry, you would be wrong on that.

  21. SlideuleSailboatDaSaintFan on Mar 24, 2011 02:51 AM

    got this one.. even though I was looking at the wrong thing for the arrow...

    [19] i'd tell you to go light a ciggy and think about it.. but you know what they say about that...

  22. Yamaha_baby_grandSailboatartval on Mar 24, 2011 05:57 AM

    Thanks [14]... that did it for me instantly.

  23. AvadoneDuckiebargellos on Mar 24, 2011 06:11 AM

    Bravo [14]

  24. ErwinPepperTangaAl on Mar 24, 2011 07:15 AM

    [14] did it for me, too. Thanks!

  25. Space_shuttleGrapesmedleya on Mar 24, 2011 07:58 AM

    Finally got this one. Thanks [14]. Could have been clued a little better but maybe that's just me. Then again, I was the 105 person to solve after almost a day of it being on here.

  26. FilePumpkinJohn on Mar 24, 2011 08:24 AM

    [25] Weirdly this puzzle went up at noon (so hasn't even been up 24 hrs yet)

  27. Eg181208Potatotvfamily on Mar 24, 2011 09:34 AM

    You solved this puzzle in 18 minutes and 6 seconds and were the 110th Tanga member to solve it. Thanks to [12] & [14].

  28. KittylolxRocketjohanna on Mar 24, 2011 10:14 AM

    Got it from all the comments but sorry, really badly clued.

  29. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Mar 24, 2011 06:37 PM

    Cute

  30. MarkerryanCarrotryanker on Mar 24, 2011 06:38 PM

    21 secs but a day late, so 133rd.

  31. Brownie_sundaeGarlicbrownie1 on Mar 24, 2011 08:07 PM

    Nice puzzle. Brought back memories of the tv show The Flying Nun.

  32. FileEggplantJohnS43 on Mar 25, 2011 07:43 PM

    In Hint #3, the surname is incorrect (no "S".)

  33. Tanga_shadow_goat_2-fpAceshiella on Mar 27, 2011 10:22 AM

    wasn't too bad ; the blue arrow mislead me I asked myself what is he showing/doing. then saw the part of a nun's attire and bam it hit me full..
    I liked it except for the misleading blue arrow- it's not asking you to name a shape

  34. Strat_150x150Rocketjcqueen on Apr 04, 2011 07:47 AM

    Finally got it, but the puzzle was WAY too cluttered and complicated for the solution. Thumbs down from me.

  35. 9018_1237595932838_1017425892_754933_3355319_nKiwimaxitem on Apr 09, 2011 03:38 AM

    weak and too reaching in the explaination

  36. FileEggplanthankescu on May 20, 2011 11:20 PM

    Sorry, not good.
