The link is correct. The combo is very close, but not correct.

Also, think Adam's close enough with the castle thing (although he hasn't got the exact link) to have the 24 hour period.

Is the combo 6/12/13/18, then?

Not that either. Your "rings" idea was correct, but you got the wrong picture.

You get a free question first. The game in #1 is Cape the Porcupine (my game).

For the castle combo, you're still as close as you were.

I have a question about the 24-hour period. Is it 24 hours from when the correct guess for the reasoning was made, or 24 hours from when you marked it as correct?

Also, is the combo protected after the correct guess has been made, but before you've seen it?

BTW, 12 won't be in the 'castles' combo, because I've already used it in the Olympics main combo.

24 hour period starts after the guess has been made (so in the current case: 5:48 PM was when Adam made his guess).

After 5:48 PM anyone can make a guess about the combo. If the correct answer is guessed and I don't see it until after 5:48 PM, anyone can make guesses for the combo between 5:48 PM and the time when I come on and confirm the combo as correct.

Hope this explains it better.

@Adam: The second guess is almost correct.

Nope. You were closer with the last one.

Here's a hint: You may have to ask a question about something in order to get this combo.

Closest one you've had so far was 3/8/14/19 .

Remember, you haven't got the link completely correct, but one of the images makes it easier to spot.

Except it's hard to spot it on an image.

If I can freeze a combo for points, I'd like to do it.

Yep. 10 points for every 12 hours frozen.

I would do it, but that doesn't really help me (I sleep half those hours at least). I'd do 24 for 10.

Okay, I'll freeze for 24 hours.

I've had my three guesses today, so this is the least I can do.

@CJ: #6 is a picture of a steel gravy boat.

@Adam: OK, I'll freeze the castle combo for another 24 hours, starting now.

Pic #13? I'll pay 10 if I've asked too many.

#13 is Gold.

I'll subtract 20 from your score after the freeze and the question.

Also subtracted 10 from CJ's total after his question.

Then let me give you one (this is probably the hardest combo, to be honest):
