I ran this contest on and off, first at the Chess Resources Forum, and then briefly over here, and I think now's the time for another go at it. In this contest, you have a series of pictures, which represents a word or a phrase, and your task is to work out what the word or phrase is. Here's an example:![]() 1st picture is a trophy. It says "-r", so we get rid of the 'r', leaving us with tophy. Finally, it also says "ph=da", so we change the 'ph' do a 'da', giving us today. 2nd picture is some lips. It says "-l" and "-p", so we remove the 'l' and the 'p' to leave is. 3rd picture is a sundial. "-i" gives us sundal, and "l=y" then brings us to sunday. The phrase is, therefore, "Today is Sunday". Now, here are another six, each of which is worth 10 poststo whoever can solve it. However, I am allowing a maximum of three guesses per person per day: 1) ![]() Friendly Fire - answered correctly by PL-Stokie 2) ![]() Pop art - answered correctly by PL-Stokie 3) ![]() Amnesty International - answered correctly by thecostumedanceparty 4) ![]() Raining cats and dogs - answered correctly by thecostumedanceparty 5) ![]() 6) ![]() Did you Polar really too stupid to read? - answered correctly by PL-Stokie Good luck! |

It is! You have 40 points, and Adam has 20. Does your desire not to receive posts as prizes still apply? Either way, congratulations - you can post the next set if you want. |

Sorry CJ, but I think I have #6 (and one more more guess). 6. They think it's all over! It is now! You can split my points with CJ if you want, or just keep it a tie. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jul 14 2012, 09:02 PM.
