I'm here on my own (well, I was until OH turned up AGAIN but he won't do it because he hates all things to do with puzzle sites) so can't take a picture of someone taking a picture. Unless I get the tortoise to do it.

I've just got my Mum to take a picture of me taking a picture of a wellie. So I'm now going to try and send it to them. Let you know what happens.

EDIT - Not sure if that is right, the instructions say resembling one of the first 3 letters, so does that mean I've got to find something shaped like a W or just beginning with a W, or an actual letter W? I'm not sure.

I would have said something shaped like a W. I think that might be what the puzzle was - go stand on the spot the photographer was on, and what you see is shaped like a letter etc.

I can't find something shaped like a W!

Two pairs of wellies propped up in the shape of a W?

One pair of wellies laid down like a W?

bonus points if you remember the flick....although, sometimes it does remind me of puzzlebrains

I've got another picture, but I think it's too big and I'm not sure about low resolution. How do I reduce it?

#69 Post by **katsmom** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 3:54 pm

I use this program: http://www.irfanview.com/ it's a free download and reduces up to 75% pretty well. Smaller than that and you have problems. Very easy to use too.

To K :
Is that a picture of you taking a picture of it though?

To M:
I usually have to click on edit picture, then it opens it in something like paint. Or you can right click on it and choose "open with". In paint there is an option which says "resize". You can then make it a smaller percentage of the original.

I'm not THAT old

And I totally forgot the paint thing. My program does batch conversions. One would be much faster via paint

Sorry, I can't really tell what it is.

Right, I think it's been sent. Fingers crossed.
Here's what went.

arg, I'm on holiday that week.

How very inconsiderate of them

I seem to recall that this is the one where we get the first round of puzzles a couple of weeks before the competition kicks off. So you should still be able to contribute something Vlad.

Cisra puzzle week commences Monday 8th August. First group puzzles will be released earlier but the date of release is not yet decided. Watch this space for updates.

I have registered our team. As usual, please express interest here. Maisie, Giraffe , can I add you to the team? (Or if you can add yourselves just do so). No offence to anyone else- its just these two are usually around to pick up any emails should any arrive.

#79 Post by **giraffe** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 1:36 pm

Yes, you can add me.

As usual - if I'm around I'll help out with my wacky views on life
