gotta wait til I get home. This is blocked at work and iOS is being persecuted ... again. :biggrin:

Somebody call me a waaaaaaaambulance!!

 

[Karl_99]

This was fun!!

 

[jcm71]

Not it isn't!!!! Got the puzzle quickly. The hint has me stumped.

 

[jcm71]

Here' my hint: It's not tickle tongue.

 

[wyone]

uh oh... tickle tongue was my answer... darnit anyway!

I'm not much of a Rubrics Cube kind of guy. I guess some people can "see" the patterns and move things around successfully and efficiently. That wouldn't be me! I eventually got it done, you know a monkey and a dictionary in a room kind of thing, but it took a while.

Found the clue and got 'er done!

 

[wyone]

You know.. THOSE types of puzzles drove me crazy when I was 10.. and these days it is a MUCH shorter drive!

That's a great idea - I'll see if we can make it three-dimensional next year:devil:

 

[jcm71]

Finally got it, no thanks to the hint. :biggrin:

I hope everyone is enjoying the leisurely pace of today's puzzle.

Be sure to get a good night's sleep tonight because tomorrow's puzzle is going to be a doozy! :biggrin:

 

[jsolie]

And I hated those puzzles as a kid...

I hate tile puzzles. when I was younger I would pop the tiles out and then put them back in.... tried that here but now I need a new monitor...:tongue:

 

[darrin1200]

I am so glad I'mmnot the only one. These things give me a migraine. Tried for an hiur, and then finally had to give up or snap.

I'll wait for the next one.

well ya know.. if we had a picture of what we were supposed to be creating it would help. but I have a feeling the puzzle creators have a slight sadistic nature and ENJOY watching us struggle.

Waa, waa, waa! I even left the hints option ON for you guys. All you have to do is select the hints button and it will show numbers in the corner of each tile. Arrange the numbers and you have it.

Yeah, I tried to convince Curtis to disable that feature, but he's an old softie. :wink:

Sometimes the best place to hide things is in plain sight.

 

[markgum]

I saw that button but was too afraid of clicking it in case it took me to another page, thus resetting the picture.

Live and learn!

For the slow ones, like me, who could read the clue but could not find the answer, what was the answer?

 

[Edgar]

The correct answer for this puzzle was "Segmented Roller Ball"

The big hint was that the photo had been viewed a lot in the past month.

This was a clue that the photo had been uploaded within the last month.

One way to find it would be to click on Photos on the IAP Home Page, then select Member Photo Albums. One of the browser options is "Newest Uploads". If you scrolled through all the photos within the last month, you would have found it on page 20 or so.

Did you happen to notice how many posts that particular user had? I found it a bit interesting.

Yeah, but then over half of our members have never posted a single message, so it's not all that unusual.
