Do you know the game I play? I think that it's quite fun.
Find the rules that bind it, and you just might find the one.
This puzzle's for lovers once kissing - and a missing thing used for things missing.
Very long day today, I'm afraid, and a lot of trouble trying to make a clue that I really liked work (which I still haven't, so that one's saved for later if I ever can) but I should have one now
CCCC: "Way too hard!" ends piercing synopsis; in review, antagonist trashes piece of s*** acronym and self-reference (5 8)
Consider $N$ pieces of marble. The pieces of marble look identical to one another. One of the pieces is heavier than the other. In other words, out of the $N$ pieces, $N-1$ have the same weight and $1$ is heavier.
We are given a traditional balance scale with two pans. The goal is to determine w...
@ManyPinkHats Would you care to clarify whether we should pretend that the "s***" in your clue is actually the obvious word (merely censored for the sake of the more sensitive readers of this forum) or whether we should consider the actual clue to be exactly as given? (Of course you might not care to clarify, in which case fair enough.)
I make a bunch when I come,
but only once in four I come,
I push everyone who comes after I come,
but never to them whom after I come.
Do you know when I come?
First of all, this is totally a rip-off of @ferret idea, but with video games instead of movies.
So, basically the same story : I have a friend that use to mix things up and is unable to clearly describe what he is talking about. However, he always knows exactly the number of words of each titl...
The black king has spent his life fighting over this strange checkered land, the white king has finally been defeated and his troops have surrendered and pledged allegiance to him. Now he's not sure what to do with himself, he decides to have a drink. But he is a king! He can't just have any n...
White and free, I roam,
Cuttlefish, why I'd like some.
Chased and hunted for what I possess,
Why they think I'm magical is anyone's guess.
I seem to like the cold, it's where I'm found.
Clicks and whistles are my sound.
@ManyPinkHats I wanted to ask you about your Kakuro-like puzzle. I think you said you were making it for some other purpose, and then realized it would be a fit for a puzzle here. Do you make puzzles like that for a publication or website or anything?
Here are linked clues:
An ancient alphabet
Related to an association between measures of a circle
Part of a title of an English movie of an auto-biopic
An abbreviated form representing loyal/devout attitude, perhaps the shortest adjective
How all of these clues are linked and what common ...
I tried making and posting puzzles on a personal website once a week, but I've since stopped since I couldn't keep it up with my workload; I've still got the puzzles I made on my computer though, and the intent to remake some of them and probably repost here
The KenKen/Mathdoku puzzle you solved was one of a quartet that was Puzzle #8, hence all the 8 clues. The other three were just standard KenKen puzzles though; no second layer about placing a final clue
I knew it wasn't Kakuro, but I forgot the name. I'm working on similar things, and it's really hard to spend enough time on that along with my actual work.
The logic puzzles, yes. I've also tried to make some crossword puzzles with the help of wordlists and programs like Qxw, but I haven't remade any of them yet
@EricTressler No, I've got only loose ends that don't tie up. I probably have the acronym. I don't know what the synopsis or the antagonist are and I don't really know what to apply the "in review", which I think is a reversal indicator, to. And I don't know whether "trashes" is an anagrind or an idniactor to remove the letters of the acronym from the antagonist. So, yeah, I'm drawing a lot of blanks here.
But shortly after the C4 was posted, you said that you had the wordplay worked out, but it didn't fit the def. Care to share your early thoughts?
So I originally thought it was "op[-pos]ition", and if we also remove self-reference (in case "self-reference" is not the def.), then we could remove "op", or "i", or both. Lots of options.
Now I think it's more likely to be "op[-pos]er", and also backward (in review).
For the first half, the only sense I could make out of it is "Way too hard!" ends == "wd", and that piercing synopsis might be "cro(wd) p______"
"crowd pleasers" or something could be the answer if it's &lit (subtle hint with the "!"?), but that doesn't fit with the stuff about "opposer".
That's plausible (the part about "ARD"), but I don't know how you handle the rest either. I also had an idea that it might be something like "heavy emotions"
But I don't know; I had all of these ideas last night, and they haven't panned out for me since then. None of the phrases we've said really seem to capture the entire clue anyway, if it really is &lit. It should specifically be about a puzzle (too hard, acronym, self-reference).
Haven't seen this problem on any other video or blog post need help if you feel up to the challenge.
so I have finished the cube 3x3x3 using F2L method.
... except top player two corners next to each other, i.e. front left and right are on the wrong sides.
I know how to solve the corner placemen...

This life of mine is quite the puzzle.
No one, not even those closest to me, knows the truth.
But I do know the truth exists within me.
I just don't know how to be true.
Guess my friend.
A tail and mouths comprise me,
for shy i am
my hands fight continuously,
But give others jam.
Obsessed with the color white,
Stroked left and right,
Giving the lessons of life,
Still left with dirt inside,
Take your take and tell what am I?
