4) Pippin (sounds like Pepin the Short, who was certainly diminutive, the little thief! He stole the rightful Merovingian throne!)
|
And now, for the lashings...
1. No. Elder is the straight clue.
2. Nope. Check your LotR appendices. Or UT. ;) 4. Argh! Too complex, too complex. No. :) |
2. Loa?
|
1) Ent?
|
All righty, then...
1. Old and Elder.
2. Loa - Elvish solar year. 3. V. Eärendil - He was the fifth king of Gondor. 4. Sounds like a diminutive king. 5. Hobbit between one hot table. Ent isn't correct. "Old and" will remind you of a puzzle of mine earlier. ;) Oh, vy ze vay, if you plan to create a grid for the puzzle once ll clues are filled in, be sure to include the period before "Eärendil." :) |
Any more hints, as no one seems to be able to get the clues?
|
there and back again
How about SOLMATH for #5?
Sol= alone, Sam is scrambled, and a Math table |
He's gone, Precious...
Nilpaurion might be gone for a while, until school starts for him again.
|
I guess this means the thred is open. Does anyone have a new puzzle?
|
Summer is a'cumin in
If Nil is not available, I could post a simple one on Monday, if you like.
|
Sorry to interrupt, but...
I'm back. On a regular basis.
You just know that world ain't perfect if it takes a return to the Angband called "school" to bring me back. Oh, well. And, Celebrian: nope. Not that one. Remember those "initial" clues? This is a modification of it. :) |
Rewinding
1) Cirdan?
Well, you're back! :cool: Please forgive our hastiness, Nil. |
Hastiness?
Nay, entish (you said you were one once ;) ) lady. This thread deserved replacement oh so long ago. I was quite surprised to see my puzzle still in business.
Anyway, before I say you're wrong...which I already said...let's have some more clues! 1. Old and Elder. Elder is the straight clue. "Old and"... remember "and father"? ;) 4. Sounds like a diminutive king. Diminutive...miniature...oops! :o 5. Hobbit between one hot table. Hobbit is the straight clue. "Between" replaces the usual "initial" or "begins", but still uses the same principle. Good luck! |
Could #1 be Iarwain?
|
Nk:
Nope. #1 requires a weedle bit of translation.
|
When you hinted to "and father", I went back and looked. It was Aratar, ar + atar. So i suppose this is something similar... Hmm. something that ends with -ar. And I think Iant Iaur means "Old Bridge" (haven't got Silm. here), so Iantar? Or is it Iaurar? But Elder? Makes me think about either Tom Bombadil or the ents... Meh, crap. I can't think of anything. Am I heading in the right direction?
|
Nk,
The "ar" ending is right, or is it write? Anywhen, I said only a weedle bit of translation, because that's the only part of the clue you have to translate. The other word - Old - remains in English, but you have to find another word for it.
Put the two together and you get something that's...elder. Hope that satisfies. :) |
Could it be Eldar then?
|
I may have to consult with my lawyers before answering that one...
Yup, you're right.
1. Eldar - Old and Elder. 2. Loa - Elvish solar year. 3. V. Eärendil - He was the fifth king of Gondor. 4. Sounds like a diminutive king. 5. Hobbit between one hot table. |
5. Otho?
|
Nope. :p
|
Is #4 Elessar?
He's a King, and the name sounds like "a lesser", meaning diminutive. |
Stove for one hot table...
Is the Pass "Elves"?
|
Saucy: No. Think "miniature."
Celebrian: I'd say "close," but there's more to it. After all, why would I go to the pains of having V. Eärendil as a third clue, when there are nasty V-clues everywhere? |
4. (Elros) Tar-Minyatur?
|
We have a hit!!!
1. Eldar - Old and Elder.
2. Loa - Elvish solar year. 3. V. Eärendil - He was the fifth king of Gondor. 4. Elros Tar-Minyatur - Sounds like a diminutive king. 5. Hobbit between one hot table. Hobbit #5 has been used once by me. That's another clue, if you want it. |
5. Odo?
|
Wrong answer! :p
|
Nob?
|
That completes the clues
1. Eldar - Old and Elder.
2. Loa - Elvish solar year. 3. V. Eärendil - He was the fifth king of Gondor. 4. Elros Tar-Minyatur - Sounds like a diminutive king. 5. Nob - Hobbit between one hot table. Now, the clue to password is found in one down, three up. The period on the third clue counts as a letter. |
Which makes Elven Breed. I found it even before you gave that clue. :p
|
That is the clue, not the password itself. :p
|
Oh, crap. :p
Noldor? |
Isn't the clue Elven Bread?
In which case the answer is ... ;)
|
Wrong, NK! :p
Any takers, please? Why not you, Sauce? |
That should teach me not to answer too quickly. I had Loëndë in my head when I thought of possible answers, so that messed it up. :p I would take it, I even have a Password ready, but I'm going away soon again. I'll just save it for later. ;)
|
*sigh*
The answer is lembas, which is Elven bread.
Seven-and-eighty days is too long a time. Not even Phileas Fogg took that long to circumnavigate the world. So the first one here with a puzzle gets it. ;) How 'bout you, Sauce? Got any cruelties in mind? :p |
Hmmm... Is anyone interested in making a puzzle for us?
|
eh why njot im good at password...
ok so i can use a word that sounds like the answer or a straight clue correct? ok then first clue: Size |
Actually, if you look on the first post in this thread, you can see how it's done.
