Card / Lucky / Four / Wood: Lucky charms?
Close in combo, wrong in reasoning. The clue is not a literal answer, though it relates to what the answer is.

That's the problem I'm having with these clues. I can't just give you the answer, I have to give you a clue of something that connects to an answer. This one is more indirect, but you are close with the combo.

Well, I think the clue has at least pushed me in the right direction. That's what they're meant to do, after all :P

Yes, it has. That cereal box has another underlying theme within it, but the message is very subtle. Be observant and put on your thinking cap. The answer lies within it (somewhere).

I'll go for an invented combo:

Observe / Four / Green / Lucky: Clovers

Reasoning is correct for a main combo, but because it is a main combo I cannot accept the combo. You get 15 points for the reasoning. Combo is close.

Never mind, I can give you the full combo seeing as how you used the blank space and they are all in the same quadrant. This missing word that would ordinarily be in the combo is "card," but you've effectively answered it well enough to get all the points (and in the same quadrant).

Four / Green / Lucky / [Blank space]?

I suppose the blank space could be 'butter', since Clover is a brand of butter sold over here :P .

It was actually "card," but I edited my last post indicating that I'm giving you the combo nonetheless.

I'll guess that the concept for the yellow wall is FarmVille? I believe it has clover rabbits, pumpkins and trees.

(I'm not giving up on that just yet :P )

Good guess, but no. Think symbolically. That's probably a giveaway, but then again you're the only one participating.

I think you might deserve a ribbon when we're done for all your hard work.



What kind of car is this? (not actual name)

Is "Classic" the reasoning for the final combo on the green wall?

Yes it is. You get the full points for it. Now you need the combo for the whole wall.

Is the yellow wall's concept "life", because all the reasons for the combos are living creatures?

Sorry, that is incorrect. Think symbollically. It's much more simple than you both have made it out to be.

I have bolded the words for the concept of each solved wall.

Is the concept for the yellow one Pokémon?

There's a tree Pokémon, a rabbit Pokémon, a pumpkin Pokémon, and a clover Pokémon. Or maybe I just made some of those up :P .

Nope, that is incorrect. It has nothing to do with being alive.

Each one is a symbol for something.

For the yellow wall, look at some of the past pictures that give clues for the wall. You can pretty much find a fourth of the answer there.

There you go. 50 points for solving the wall. Yellow wall has been officially finished.

And PL, right direction but wrong on both combo and reasoning. This one I'm not quite sure if I gave good words for a combo or not... hopefully it's good. They are related. Just think process (hint hint).

Green wall: is the concept 'channel'?

Total guess, in case you were wondering.

No, it is not. Sorry. This one is probably the toughest concept.

This one you not only need to look t the four words that make the combo, but also some of the preliminary words you used to find each individual combo. For example, "art" has some words describing it.

Clue for the clues: these two correspond to the same reasoning

It's simply that I hadn't noticed them.

I'll have a look now, though. Thanks for the clues.

I don't mean to nag, but this is lasting a looooooooooong time, so I'd like to get it finished. But I also just don't want to give away answers either.

Well, the second clue certainly isn't helping. The link is broken :( .

Is the green concept philosophy, then?

(I have a vague idea for the universal concept, but I'm not too confident, so I won't try to guess it)

No, but you are closer. Philosophy has something to do about at least part of it. I will try to fix that pic.

EDIT: Weird. The pic and link seem to work for me. Here's an additional pic to prove the point (this goes with pic #1 you saw):

That's part of it. But all those pics go together. Trace antiquity back to the combo.
