I spent so many useless hours on that minesweeper thing I've just decided to close eyes :D
Actually that one is safe - and very funny :lol:

I needed to watch it twice - once for the action, and then again for the subtitles :lol: :lol:

Will someone go to www.braingle.com, brainteasers then puzzlehunts and solve the first level of the case of the missing arm and then tell me the answer. Its driving me crazy.

The caesar shift is 24. It tells me to enter the city where he was born. I've goggled 24 sisters and 2 sisters and now I'm just getting mad because I cant find the answer.

I could have sworn I posted a link to this one ages and ages ago. I still remember some of those wonderful "cartoons" at the end of each level.

Did it not occur to you that you'd found the answer already? :wink: (The name of the cipher isn't given anywhere, and yes - he had two sisters...)

No!!! But if there is a hard way you can be sure I'll find it- as you know only too well :D

Ah, I see. I don't usually do these sorts of puzzles. I've just got onto level 3. Which is probably where I'll stop... :lol:

EDIT level 4

Bunny - you know what I do when you post messages like that. :lol:

Go and play Blocks with Letters On instead. It's probably a lot less stressful, if no less difficult...

I can't play on any of those, they don't work on here. :roll:

Anyway, I shouldn't be playing at all. I SHOULD be tackling an ironing mountain, hoovering, making the tea, doing the accounts, ringing about 300 people with updates, feeding the animals, watering plants etc etc etc etc. And instead I'm sitting in a dazed heap. I blame you lot. :lol:

Well here's something a little easier.
It should take you about half-an-hour at most!

Don't play this if you have an aversion to light jazz music. :D

Aaargh what are you trying to do to me? I've been on that darned game Giraffe posted - got to level 32 and realised I'd been sitting there for hours (which I don't have). :oops:

Sorry, I'm on level 59 now, and have probably spent too long on it too. :roll:

D*** you all, I loved this before and spent quite a while re-doing it last night until I realised what the time was and went to bed! :roll:

Isn't there a More blocks one too?

I'm passing the time trying to do the runes - I have come to a grinding halt with the letter set on page 10

A H M V Z E X ? Y K F I T N W IS THERE ANYONE AROUND WHO HAS COMPLETED THIS AND CAN PROVIDE ME WITH A HINT

Thanks

Try writing down all the missing letters ? could be. In doing so you might notice something about the structure of the letters.

This is much too addictive and I have spent far too much time doing it all over the weekend - it is just my type of puzzle! And I love the cartoons..... :lol: I'm struggling with level 58 at the moment so probably need to give it a rest :roll:
