These didn't work:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. Olympus Mons
2. Ares Vallis
3. Chryse Planitia
4. Pavonis Mons
5. Sergey Korolev
6. Giovanni Schiaparelli

For #2 I also tried 'Carl Sagan' and 'Carl Sagan Memorial'. I would have also tried 'Carl Sagan Memorial Station' but I ran out of guesses. Sad

How about a bone with a little meat on it? Confused

ChalcoDoror, could you indicate which we have right (if any) and which we're way off base on?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've been trying "Olympus Rupes" rather than "Olympus Mons", which seems to be a more precise location (the cliffs on the edge of Olympus Mons). I couldn't find any more precise locations for the others, other than the different names for the landing sites.


I've used up my three attempts for the day.

I have a feeling this daily limit is really going to annoy me in time.

You're not way off base on any of them solitair.

You've got 2 answers spot on.
You've got 2 answers partially correct.
You've got 2 answers which don't include the winning word, but which represent the correct places.

I'm not telling any more, I'm just basking in the warm glow of having got a purple completely unaided, first try and in about 25 minutes on google and more importantly than any of that: before Chalco!

Although I must thank him for giving me my first cards on Friday, and getting me hooked...

While I appreciate your desire to bask smugly, it is the policy of this forum to

What this means is that as soon as you find an answer that you think may be beneficial to the community, you put it in spoiler quotes on the board. It seems odd, yes, but that's the way we communal ARGonauts work!

I second Oliverskeers13.

Puzzles are meant to be about working together and not basking in the glory of getting something right when other are having trouble with it. I don't mean to be bitchy - but smugness is not nice.

All the others have posted their solves here and, honestly, it's not about winning the game - it's about working together and playing the game. Wink

I'm sorry if I offend but that's the way I feel about it AND I've got PMT and there is no chocolate in the house! I tend to lash out without chololate - I hope you all understand. Embarassed

I'm starting to wonder if 2 and 3 should be Pathfinder and Viking.

All this teasing is just not nice
Stop being such a big head and SHARE
Did you do all your other 31 solves all on your lonesome
On second thoughts don't bother
We'll get there in the end

Olympus Mons
Ares Vallis
Chryse Planitia

Trying to go simpler, avoid too many geographic references, and match solitair's 'Mastermind' marks of two black pegs and two white pegs!
