my first ever first :D
too bad you still only get three points...
This one is a doozy?????
I believe the picture shows a wimple, although it was enough for me to solve it.
Understand it's a wimple and understand what centripetal and centrifugal are talking about but cannot put the words together with the shape.
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.
[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?
I haven't solved this, but I'm pretty sure that hat is not called a wimple.
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?
That's not a wimple. Think nuns...
[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!
Finally got it. The text is trying to clue you a word also related to Jedi powers...
Forgot I was doing a crypto
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.
Ugh---didn't really care for it....but certainly not the worst!
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.
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.
First time under 100...WOW!!! Not any easy one
Definitely not getting this one.
[7] - Sorry, you would be wrong on that.
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...
Thanks [14]... that did it for me instantly.
Bravo [14]
[14] did it for me, too. Thanks!
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.
[25] Weirdly this puzzle went up at noon (so hasn't even been up 24 hrs yet)
You solved this puzzle in 18 minutes and 6 seconds and were the 110th Tanga member to solve it. Thanks to [12] & [14].
Got it from all the comments but sorry, really badly clued.
Cute
21 secs but a day late, so 133rd.
Nice puzzle. Brought back memories of the tv show The Flying Nun.
In Hint #3, the surname is incorrect (no "S".)
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
Finally got it, but the puzzle was WAY too cluttered and complicated for the solution. Thumbs down from me.
weak and too reaching in the explaination
Sorry, not good.
