 		Lucky guess from me then. Razz

Listen. These puzzles from AQ Hawker are clearly a distraction for something bigger. Anyone else get that sense or have any idea what it could be?

 		I guess i'll try to participate. I'm not sure directly what to do. But I have a feeling it has with using certain of those clock faces and connecting them? Then go 26 mintues later and use those. That's what it seems to be implying to me.

yep.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Add 26 mins to each face, the first line will read


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TEMPUS


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
add another 26 mins, the second line reads


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
FUGIT


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
and a further 26 gives you


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
LEWIS


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So, TEMPUS FUGIT LEWIS - Translated, Tempus Fugit reads "Time flees" or commonly "Time flies"


Seems Hawker's having fun!

And thar ye be

Great solve, belazir! Worshippy

I was trying completely different strategies to try and solve this one. Well done. Smile

I'll admit that I wondered the same thing as I considered different possible ways the puzzle might have been encoded. As the solution stands, however, the given clue makes sense.
a new word every 26 minutes
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
First word: 26 minute offset
Second word: 2x26 minute offsets
Third word: 3x26 minute offsets

 		I agree. 'Word' makes more sense than 'letter'.

*Lewis' trophy now has a dent in it.
*New puzzle from Hawker is up.

Pointing you in the right direction

So it seems our hard work is being rewarded. Hawker has promised to drop us a hint about where the trophy is being held – not a generous hint, but more information than we've had so far.

It's at times like these that I miss the Intelligence Service.

Meanwhile, I'm putting the finishing touches to my plan to take us all underground, away from prying eyes.

Lewis is beyond upset since Hawker started damaging the trophy. Normally, Lewis knows how to keep his cool but Hawker has found a way to touch a nerve and he's hammering at it, literally.

I'm trying to keep him at arm's length in this investigation because he's very emotionally involved and I don't want that clouding his judgement. We all need to stay calm and focused. There's an intelligent solution to this.

As I thought. Lewis's 'army' of helpers is really just a very thin red line. You failed to muster ten correct answers to my challenge over the weekend. A mere ten was beyond you. As a result, the trophy and the hammer have had an accidental meeting. I'm disappointed in you, but more than that, I hope Lewis can forgive your weakness. I'd hate to cause disharmony in your camp.

Since it seems I overestimated you, I'm going to give you a helping hand. Every game needs balance, after all, so here's a chance to tip the scales back in your favour. I'm going to give you a clue to the trophy's location.

We're going to play a game of join-the-dots. I'm even going to join the dots for you – but that doesn't mean it's easy. Look over here and you'll see all the lines, numbered in order and pointing in the right directions. I've just scrambled them around a little. Join the arrows and you'll get the outline of a country.

Send the name of that country to aqSPLATaqhawker.com before 5pm GMT tomorrow or the trophy will be paying a visit to the blacksmith. Begin.


I found this puzzle is easier than the previous ones. It might have helped that I guessed the correct answer before completing it.I recommend
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
leaving arrow 1 where it is and adding the additional arrows from that point. There is enough space on the page to do this.
Once you have the outline, google maps will confirm the answer.the final answer is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
United Arab Emirates

 		I wonder if 10 people really did fail to get the correct answer or if that's just part of the plan.

I uploaded a picture of the completed puzzle if anyone wants to see it.
