Is anybody else here with me in hoping that at some point MC will release descriptions of certain (or all) card puzzles, so that we can see how we were actually meant to solve the puzzles (as long as weve already solved em). I wouldnt mind getting a full explanation of this card, Mosaically Challenged and Polar (only ones i can think of right now), to see if we were fully right in how we got to each answer, or to see if we missed anything.

Good idea, but that would mean Mind Candy has to explain the rules to "petals around the rose", which according to the rules, you aren't allowed to do! Smile

EDIT - and with Mornington Crescent, there would be little point, as the rules are already so well known to everybody. hehe

Hello all. I am the one who inadvertantly added the number to the mentioned data base. I was testing the data base and thought it took its list from actual attempts on the perplex city site. As best as I could I suggested the number's use as a solve, but as the site was so inaccurate I did not know people thought it was infallible. So I apologise. I however got my punishment in that as I was locked out I could not enter the solve and therefore could not taste the joy of being number 1 if only for a little while last night.

Wouldn't worry about it Bendover. (sounds odd typing that lol)

I tried a guess for 13th Labour today, and now realise that all the database actually does is check if your guess has already been entered into its own list. Its not meant for checking if a solve is correct or not.

Useful tool, just as long as we understand how it does what it does!!

YAY! SOLVED IT AT LAST! *dreams of that elusive first solve*

Welcome to the forums, Cal. We like to be pretty organized around here, and that means catching up on what has come before so you don't spend your time on avenues that have already been tried. We have a nice and robust [search] function too, to help you search for relevant information in the forums. However, in this case all you needed to do was read a few posts up to get the basic news. I'm sorry that the thread is so long. But you really should read it before you do all that work and post something that is not needed. This is solved.

Hah, Sigh, I apologise for this momentary lapse in concentration, I read most of the thread but completely missed the answer....oh well. Thanks

No worries, it was a hard slog at the time, and kind of a letdown when it was figured out. You got to miss all that, anyway!

For what it's worth, here's my best theory for this card...
