OT - 6/21/2006 -6/22/2006 Puzzle

[Ganchrow]

So no answer yet for yesterday's puzzle. I won't be providing one until someone solves it. For one last hint: The 0th letter of the alphabet is 'A'. Come on people, get it together!

And now for today:

I L♥ve New York!
The Hudson river is approximately 279 miles long. It originates in Lake Tear of the Clouds and discharges into the murky but storied waters of Lower New York Bay. It is home to many varieties of eel, sturgeon, bass, and red herring.


What mythical creature can be found hidden in the source?

my first answer was wrong

Join the club. I'm still losing my mind from that graph puzzle I was talking to you about in the morning, lol.

[totobernal]

i'm not even close to the answer of this one, or the previous one

[Ganchrow]

Don't take the question quite so literally. Look at the last fish listed. This question doesn't require computations of any sort. Just a little bit of lateral thinking.

[scottyy11]

lol i was sure this was champ till i read that, not aquaman either

[bigboydan]

icibod crane was the only answer i could come up with.

[moses millsap]

I took a shot with Kraken, it was wrong.

[isetcap]

I wonder what exactly is meant by "the source"?

[Ganchrow]

Still no solution ... so on another day it goes.

isetcap is on to something. Why might I have used the nonspecific phrase "the source"? If I had meant "its source" don't you think I would have said that?

Congrats to MrX (solved the last puzzle on 6/21 at 13:06:24) and Owned (solved 6/21 at 22:49:06). The answer was "LIBRA". I'll write up a solution tomorrow in case anyone is still working on it.

My answer was somehow incorrect even though it was definately right. I think something is definately wrong with the submit box today.

Box seems to work for me. PM me your answer.

Don't make me call Spellchecker, Taco.

I would appreciate it if you would define your opinion as to whether the universe finite or infinite.

There may be a slight chance that I'm wrong, though.

Since it's been going for a day, I'll post my thoughts.

I think that everything to do with New York and the Hudson River is one of Ganch's notorious red herrings. So, I think that the imporant bit is:

What mythical creature can be found hidden in the source?

So what mythical creatures can you find in "the source". Orc and roc are not the right answer to this one. Am I on the right lines before I dig out my Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures to look further?

That's quite clever -- I might use it on another puzzle -- but in this case incorrect.

No comment on the red herring.

[moses millsap]

I think the irrelevant facts are the 279 miles long and the other fish.

[MrX]

Sneaky bastard!

Got it!

[Dead Money]

do you have to use notepad to find out the answer???

Maybe try viewing the source of the webpage???


right clicking?????


sheesh

[moses millsap]

Sneaky bastard!

Got it!

Good job, waiting to hear the answer to this one.

[MrX]

Dead Money gave a big hint

[Ganchrow]

Sneaky bastard!

Got it!

At 17:23:44. Very nicely done.

So I'm not the only one who did that... I went as far as looking for the answer in 'Lake Tear of the Clouds'. And could've sworn the answer was Hercules.

[darkghost]

Hmm... I'm getting an errror trying to 'view the source'. Anyone else having trouble?

[scottyy11]

what was the answer for this ? i can never find the answer for these ....always say yesterdays answer was " "

[tacomax]

The answers are generally given away (once solved) in the following day's puzzle. The answer to this puzzle can be found in this thread:

http://forum.sbrforum.com/showthread.php?t=12663

always say yesterdays answer was " "

The answer is between the speech marks in a grey colour font so it's invisible to anyone normally looking at the page. To see the answer, right click on the page and click on "select all" - all the "invisible" text will then be readable.
