Think it's probably my turn to post a wall :P . Hopefully it'll run nicely along with Adam's new one.

Basic Wall Information

  • The wall consists of 20 images.
  • There are 5 combos, each containing 4 of the images. The images are linked into a combo by a certain reason (for example, a certain shape might be in all the pictures).
  • There are NO OVERLAPS in the combos (all 20 images are part of a combo).
  • Correctly guessing a combo causes you to receive 25 points. Correctly guessing the link (or reason) behind the combo gets you an extra 25 points.
  • The contest will run indefinitely until either three days after all of the main combos are solved or three days after all the invented combo spaces are taken.


Advanced Wall Information

  • I am allowing up to 20 invented combos (combos which would work, but are not any of the ones I have thought up), for which the number of images must be between 3 and 10. Points for invented combos vary from 3 to 7 points per image, depending on how strong the link is.
  • If someone correctly guesses a link for a combo, but doesn't quite get the combo itself, he/she will be awarded the points for the link and then will have a 24 hour period where they are the only person who can guess the combo, with the option to "buy" an extra 24 hours for 10 points.
  • Questions about certain pictures normally cost 10 points, although each person gets a "free" first question. If I can't answer a question, or I feel it's missing the point completely, I won't penalise points for it.
  • I will give out clues to combos when I feel it is necessary. These won't cost anyone points.
  • I do not answer private questions and will penalise 10 points if I get any.
  • If a person ends the contest with over 450 points, they win a green ribbon Posted Image (if two or more people finish with over 450 points, the winner will receive the ribbon). This number is reduced by 50 points if an extra person plays (450 for two people, 400 for three people, etc.)
  • At the end of the contest, 4 points are worth 1 post (if this ends up in fractions, I'll take away the fractions of posts).
  • This contest will end either three days after all of the main combos have been solved, or three days after all of the invented combo spaces have been used up.


And here's the wall (with its own "Brick Wall" background ;) ):

If you still have this problem, I'll try to upload each picture individually later.

Anyway, I'll accept all of those as invented combos.

Looks like Adam and I had the same idea independently of each other, within 2 minutes of each other (though our combos were slightly different) :P .

1/4/8/9/20: All contain words.

@Adam: I think I'll accept that one (although the background on 6 isn't completely white)

@CJ: Correct main combo and reasoning.

I think I'll use my free question.

What is shown in picture #3? (It looks like gravel, but it could plausibly be anything from marble to a load of coins :P )

#3 shows sand.

-#6 used for water
-#10 can be used to pick at grass and sand
-#15 brings all the sand to a spot (wheelbarrow like)

I don't really think you could use a cricket bat for farming, to be honest...

So that's what it is... we don't have Cricket here.
2/3/7/10: Names of bugs

-Krypton bug
-Sand bug
-Plankton
-Cricket

Combo might be wrong, but I'm banking more on the reasoning.

I'll accept that as an invented combo if you can link me to a Krypton bug (I couldn't find it when I searched).

Anyway, since there's only been one main combo so far, here's a clue:

You've almost got the link. The combo isn't too far off, either.
