You don't happen to know anywhere that does stock them, do you?

This has not been a good start for me. In trying to resolve some missing passwords, all I have done is send out the issue three password to everyone again... :oops: :roll:

Well done to both of you.
My initial reaction was also 'Wow, that looks professional'. And then I looked inside and thought 'Oh no, who's written that essay on the middle pages' and then I thought 'Oh no, not more little pictures'. I see we're honoured with two whole pages of them!

Still no password. :(

Perhaps I could send you my password then you could enter some correct answers and I'd look really good!

Any answers I enter would probably not be right! If you were relying on me to finish the magazine for you, then it would never get finished.

yay! Mag & password, and I've already done one! :D :D :D Reckon that'll be it though. Either this is a really easy issue, or I just happened to hit on the easy one to start with! :lol: :lol:

I sort of have three answers I think, just nowhere to put them. Some progress on a couple of others, but I fear this is the usual mixture of doable and impossible.

Well that sort of makes me happy and sad at the same time :lol:
I do keep saying that in some ways if you could do all the puzzles by yourself without any hints then I might have failed in my job. But I do once again refute the notion that any of the puzzles are impossible. Impossibly simple once you "see" them, yes. But definitely not impossible...

I have a magazine (which I have no time to look at) and no password. :cry:

I wish that when there are pictures of album covers or film posters I could work out some idea of what to key into Google

If I ask really nicely, is there any chance that those people who haven't received their passwords sending me a PM rather than posting in here and making me look even more useless in here that I normally do. I'm quite capable of making myself look stupid (like sending passwords out twice) without the rest of you helping out :lol:

Well, I got my password and it worked first time Scurra.

Giraffe, click on the puzzle brains logo above the board. then when you see the issue 3 picture, click on the puzzles button next to it, and it should as you there for the password. If it doesn't then I don't know where it should go!
