Favorite Card(s)

[Juxta]

#027 "Bar None" - fantastic, wonderful artwork, clever little puzzle, and it's a rabbithole which I fell down head first, and haven't stopped plummeting since. Plus, it has Violet, so what more could you want?

I *like* others, there are ones which have challenged me for days/weeks/months at a time...but my *favourite* has to be this one.

Any card where I spent about a couple of hours trying to solve it, went for a cigarette and then solved it straight away after looking at it in a new way if only to remind me of my own rubbishness not to think in such a pedestrian manner.

'Infinite series' is a prime example of this, I wrote out an infinite series for the puzzle which took me a while, was really pleased when I got the answer only for my house mate to pick it up look at for about 5 secs and tell me the answer.

Then I go 'ooohhhhhhhhh I'm such a spazmer'.

Relativity has to be the king of this sort of card though.

#170 Vexillology & #113 A Capital Idea. I had a good idea of how to solve them, but identifying all the components took a bit of looking around.

3rd: twisty little passages

I liked "Three Little Words." They used Elvish My favorite would have to be "Band Name Entymology." It was fun to look up everything, and I learned some cool stuff while doing it.

#187 Logical Fallacies. Thought it was really funny, and it has helped me win arguments by pointing them out.

#41 Whipsmart Wordsearch for the cows, #79 strange loops for the 'you what?!' factor, #114 taking the biscuit for the gratuitous use of jammy dodgers and #151 Crazy Talk for the poem.

#209 Freak Word - I spent 3 hours sitting trying to solve the damn thing and became the first one to solve it Good times!

#22 Cold Fission, for demonstrating on a highly available card the fabulousness of Mind Candy's special inks, #140 Mornington Crescent for being so British, and #240 Elucidate because you can't get much cooler than hiding sound in a picture.

[kraed]

#187 Logical Fallacies too, because I do critical thinking and I enjoy this sort of thing.
Whipsmart Birthday (though i forget the number) I liked as well, strange illogical things = wowzor

oh what a question! i guess 3 cards make me smile:

1. Bar None: my very first card I noticed a free pile in my local forbidden planet, it was the art work that caught my attention...simply gorgeous.

2. Geek Antiques: ahhh Kurt is after my own thick rimmed glasses with this card....i loved working on this.

3. Mondegreen: OK this card was made for me I used to think the police sung "Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley, Sue Lawley"

[jojojojo]

In no paricular order:

"Band Name Entymology" Because it was my first card and I drove myself, and everyone around me mad, trying to solve it. The reason why I'm now hooked.

"Jaunty Paul" as the same puzzle was featured in one of my favourite books.
("The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon)

"Three Little Words" Just because I love the romanticism (*sigh*) and the fact it used Welsh!

I've been trying to chose my favourites, and I am having difficulty.

I liked Sadako Sasaki, made a few paper cranes after that one.
Pirates vs Ninjas - it has pirates. And ninjas. Nuff said
Mornington Crescent - have been a fan for a loooong time
Drinking Gourd - could use my degree for something. Huzzah!

and the one with the cracker jokes. I am a sucker for a bad pun
