Don't start from the beginning nor the end, the republic of the round tower paid good salaries.


I ummm..."Borrowed" this from another site as I am way to lazy to solve it. Take your swing at it, one guy knows the answer and it took him 4 hours.

It's too small for me to understand the pictures. :(

there has to be more... can you provide a link?

I can to my photobucket account, but trust me there isn't anymore. Unless you want a link to the site I..."borrowed" it from....

I'm drawing a total blank, man...maybe if I stretched, I could see some connection to the evolution/creation debate...

Linking to the site would help. I noticed the numbers next to some of the pics.


reminds me of the "Egyptian Jukebox" puzzle, where there were puzzles within puzzles.

So the puzzle is to...understand what that image means?

What is there to work out?

A bigger version?!

oooh boy.

Does anyone notice the picture of David Hasselhoff with Gary Coleman ;)

solve this puzzle

no. too hot.

The answer is "the man who thinks he knows it all, knows nothing."

How did you get that?

:rolleyes: Well, it wouldn't be much of a puzzle if I told you.

You guessed didn't you?

You can only guess when you don't know what you are solving for.

No, I worked it out.

More importantly, is he right?

No, I worked it out.

Go on, give us a clue..

Looked at it, gave up.

Go on, give us a clue..

Start in the middle - the word 'good'. Now, link 'good' to the elephant (the 'round tower' connection), which leads on to the spaceship through the 'not at the end'. Move from here to the penguin (the space ship 'quacked up' on re-entry...geddit???), which leads on to the nuclear sign (the 'A-A' connection. From here, you get to the 'error' message, a connection that, when translated through Urdu, is a key part of the old saying I gave as the answer above.

The round tower does pay well indeed.

That's an interesting puzzle.

Except thats the linux penguin

:headbang: I don't even understand the point of the puzzle!!!

Is one of the pictures part of the mediterranean?

Anyways, best I can do...

Notice the corn, the picture of the world, the mythological creature, the sub and the horse on the left side of the picture. Notice everything to the right of those(except for the obvious republican elephant)(linking the rocket and the moon) are post-1940 or so.

Now you get to the elephant. Republicans have been around for much longer than anything else on the right side... but thats why the error message is there.

The words in the middle are a story; It starts off with the creatures in life, then humans begin to pop up, and strength becomes one of the most important things in life for hundreds of years. But as the circle of pictures begins to pass the word good, strength becomes less and less important; making strength good for nothing.

Ohh, and the alpha|omega signifies how god is being seen less and less, hence why its so small and far away from everything else.

More importantly, is he right?


I dunno. I said I was to lazy to solve it. I'll find out from the person who did solve it.

I'd be surprised if I was right, seeing as I just made it up. :p

Ummm....Yeah. Your brain must weigh so much.

Solution to the puzzle: David Caruso+his orange, doughy face=creepy.
It's a fact of life.

I KNEW IT! Then I won't ask. :p

it's a plea to find alternet energy for a clean envrionment.

"Lion-Strength, Good-for-nothing."

So remove all pictures of animals, real or mythical.

"Republic of the Round Tower paid Good Salaries."

Paid... past tense... so remove anything connected with round, tower, or round tower.

of all that is left, you have Corn (a round cylindrical 'tower') one ingrediant for ethinal.

Neuclear Power. the reactors are round towers.

Knight Rider. the truck was called "Rook" a tower shaped piece for Chess and KITT used alternate fuels.

Rocket, another round tower. note it's not a shuttle, and rocket fuel is yet another chemical reaction, not baised off of fossill fuels.

the Sun, a round (or spherical object) another source of alternate energy.

Earth and Moon plus the sun are symbols of the envrionment.

The LED bulb uses less energy but is more efficent then a standard bulb of the same size.

So you remove all of that and what's left?

The Yellow Cloud... (pollution)
the Enter Key (Enters)
a house (Your home.)

and the error message... stating an object is required to remove this error...

The Willingness to wean ourselves away from fossell fuels perhaps?

oh, and "Don't start from the biginning nor the end" at the bottom, you see Alpha/omega. beginning/end. do not read the clues left from left to right, but from the middle.

In standard reading, left to right, the yellow cloud is in the middle. so "pollution enters your home" is an error and needs to be corrected.

*sings*

Junii has a TG!!

oh, the puzzle? I think I can figure it out, if you give me some more time, although Junii is going the same way I was, so he probably will get it first.

Holy crap, I'm impressed. Seriously - fantastic job (I'll totally assume your solution is correct, because, hell, it has to be).

I can't find a suitable smiley to express my stunnedness, so here's my old stand-by - rarely given out and only when richly deserved:

Where do you figure in the four 0s. Not to mention the landmass I can't identify.

that's why I wanted to see the original. to see if there was anything more by way of clues.

so if anthing, it's probably just frills that don't mean anything.

snipperoo

Great work.
However, you still have Gary Colman and David Hasselhoff there. So maybe it's not just a yellow cloud you need to be wary of entering your home, but those two as well.

...What makes it a puzzle?

I'll post the answer when I get it.........

The landmass is Spain. Other than that I can't help much.
