the purple words are f’n stupid. i got nothing on them.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:26 am
I agree. that’s what I’m stuck on as well.

k i’ve got the purple ones taken care of and trying to piece it all together now

K. Got it. Very nice.
That was fun, and a waste of two hours. Maybe we can post the result next week. Elliott you should do a “Tuesday Teaser” once a week. nice post.

green, red, and orange, i got. the rest …. i’ve got nothing.

I’ll post the answer this weekend.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..
ive spent way too much time on this the last couple of days. i still cant figure the purple words out. From what i have come up with the sentences dont make sense. Even knowing some of the rules i cant figure out the actual word (for example the blue word “dellapa” in the second sentence) I think i understand the rule but i cant come up with a valid word.Feathers? what the hell?
i want hints before answers.

this may help without spoiling:
it isn’t DELLAPA
it’s DEILAPA
the first “L” is an “I”
let me know if you want another hint.
I had to blow the image up to see that

Ok, a couple of quick notes. First of all, a tip–blow it up if you need, and also notice that there are both yellow and orange words (I found those looked similar). A hint: some of the rules for each color are based on that word as a whole, while others are encoded using alphabetical or numerical rules.

probably the longest comment thread we’ve ever had. woo. puzzle day shall stay.
This puzzle is elegant. It’s very well thought-out, and you’ll be happy you finished it once you do.

I’ll try to come up with another one for next week. I do have a Mensa page-a-day calendar… maybe I’ll rip them off.

Want other hints? Or post the solution?

saw matt this weekend, who has since cheated.
and i don’t know how dv was doing on it, or if he gave up. you can probably just post the solution tuesday.
check the drafts – i have one ready to go for Tuesday, but feel free to change it
