Can 'car has knucklehead' clue 'C' for head of car

Cause then I get COMMUNICATEE (accessory to communication) as: often of a plane - COMmercial + train MUNI + car head C AT odd letters from first mother eve - EE

Probably not a good synonym

2:36 AM

Sorry but lots of problems in that parsing, but to answer your initial question, no. "X has knucklehead" doesn't mean "first letter of X"

Your final answer should answer the question above.

@Jafe I think the part in the parentheses is meant to be separated from the rest of the sentence. Otherwise, he could have used commas or even no punctuations instead of parentheses there.

Jafe

i think it's in parentheses to mislead people to think that part belongs together

^ yeah, misdirection may be present

Yeah, that's true...

7:34 AM

I — I don't even know what to say. Me? You suspect me of misdirection? I'm hurt. Deeply, deeply hurt.

@Jafe thank you, I'm somewhat mollified

i've been googling plane/train travel accessories... no progress on the c4 but i have found out i've been travelling all wrong

apparently you need a neck pillow to keep your head upright while sleeping in a sitting position, and a little foot hammock to keep your feet off the ground

kinda makes sense to me... without a neck pillow my neck hurts A LOT :(

big same re: accessories common to planes and trains

there aren't any relevant results or so it seems

Maybe some part of the accessory drive?

But that's like an accessory of the accessory, I thought that's not allowed in clues?

Q: Slitherlink: Around the W0rld

Rules of Slitherlink: Connect adjacent dots with vertical or horizontal lines to make a single loop. The numbers indicate how many lines surround it, while empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines. The loop never crosses itself and never branches off.

You see what I am a part of every day, yet you never see me! What am I? Some clues? A5: Big, flying GGs around me. B3: Red, yellow, green or blue will all work. B4: Hit my head too hard :( (It's my first puzzle, so I'm open to any suggestions! Good luck!)

Hey that's me! :D

Are you NOT colour-blind?

No I'm not ;)

OK, I need your help because I am colourblind

How may I help you?

10:56 AM

How would you describe this colour?

uh, dark yellow?

Looks green to me

Perbang says this is "moderate gold"

yeah, it is a bit gold-ish

I used to have a golden marker, and that's the color of its ink

so I just posted my Q, and I have credited you for the colour identification

@ParclyTaxel muddy green?

11:05 AM

thanks for the credit (tbh i didn't really do much xd)

@ParclyTaxel agreed!

Are you colourblind?

nope

not last time the optometrist checked

When I participated in chemistry olympiads I needed someone by my side who was not colourblind to help me distinguish colours in titration and other procedures

titration is a PITA enough without colour blindness!

11:08 AM

PITA?

oh, pain in the a**

I didn't think it was a pain at all, just very time-consuming

yup!

it's why I didn't do Chemistry at university D:

In high school I did chemistry (honours), mathematics (honours), physics in my later three years (of six)

Now I am doing maths and computer science at the National University of Singapore

So I guess it's more yellow than green

Since I have been a My Little Pony vector artist for a long time I have a gut feeling that it should be gold (based on the colour wheel), but it looks green

Example of a picture I've done

@ParclyTaxel it's blocked by my company :(

11:13 AM

Wow, that's quite nice!

@JerryDean I'd love to see where that is on the colour space diagram

also I think the red code in the eye and the green code overlap, so both cover yellow and green colours

Q: This rebus is gold (and loud)

What television programme does this rebus stand for? Why is the rebus gold* and loud? 1 | 1 1 | 11 1 | 1 1 | 1 1 |111...

knowledge visual rebus computer-puzzle

which eye?

And I take commissions too, so most of the time I have RGB values to go by, no problem

This is arguably my most famous picture

My own OC, also called Parcly Taxel, at bottom right. The other five alicorns in MLPFIM around her

For My Little Pony colours for canon ponies/creatures are standardised by mlpvector.club, and I have also standardised Parcly's colours at mlpvector.club/cg/v/241

@ParclyTaxel That's pretty good! :o
