 		[PFF][PUZZLES] Connection Puzzles Help Thread
This thread has been created specifically for the nudging, hinting, and eventual spoilering of the connectivity puzzles. It was created because there seem to be quite a few crossovers and there have been reports that the puzzles seem to be served at random.

This said, I think it's safe to nudge, hint, and spoiler all the puzzles that already exist in other threads. Outright spoiling without the spoiler and /spoiler tag may get you dragged into private messages and beaten about the head and shoulders.

Game on, folks...Wink

 		Should have called this thread "nobody knows the puzzles I've seen"..or maybe not...

okies, I'll kick this off and list the puzzles I've seen - no hints, clues or anything else for now!

EDIT: As some of the puzzle types are being repeated I've amended the list for puzzle type, and spoilered, as by definition, it contains hints

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Picture of a phone with a vertical column of numbers
Picture with ROT text
Strip of paper with letters on (Scytale)
Say what you see puzzles
Pictures with morse
Pictures with fragmented text
Pictures with Queen Mary Cipher
Picture of a plane with a list of locations
Picture with sick men figures (Dancing Men cipher)
Boxes, lines and dots cipher (Pigpen/ Masonic/ Freemason)
Number pairs
Lines/ shapes with letters/ alphabet
Vigenere
Bible codes
Best Picture puzzle
Name that tune NOT SOLVED

BTW - we could of course be sharing the puzzles, so we can all have a go at cracking them all - i.e. rather than a description as above, actually posting the puzzles? Thoughts?

For serious.......i'm not a puzzler. So, what ever falls into the catagory of "ok to post" is fine by me.

 		I don't feel alone now! =)

I am much more of an "Interaction" story person. I can do some of the basic puzzles but I am really slow at them.


Anyone else having a problem with connections resetting? I have been at 0 connections for a few days now

i think my big problem is that i forget about the limited connection thingy and i try to browse around to find at least one more puzzle i can solve. It uses up my connection "points" i finally figured out.

 		Woo hoo! Two more connections!

I still don't know what it is that determines who gets connections when, though.

Anybody else get some?

-R

EDIT: Gah! I used them both on Nickolas, and although I've managed to solve 4 of the 5 puzzles I've unlocked, this last one's driving me batty.

I'm having issues with the puzzle with the alphabet on top and the odd vector-plotted thing that's shaped like a z or the number 2.

Thanks to Tesseract for reminding me that spoiler tags exist
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've read in other threads that I should be looking at the alphabet and finding what's missing.

...
...
What's missing is the answer.


Fie...Wink

 		you're on the right tracks
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
look at the letters, think of the alphabet, what's missing in the picture?
P.S. maybe spoiler your comment as it's a bit of a clue for people?

I got 2 new connections too, but both easy puzzles similar to ones I've had before

 		I can't figure out a puzzle that has verticle stripes of colors almost like a test pattern It is probably simpler than I think and am over trying. If anyone has solved it can ya help me out a little. I am working on Jasmines puzzles right now

Curses. These tracks just seem to be leading me 'round in circles.

As for your nudge, I've thought about what you've suggested. I've looked that the items. I am now on the verge of taking doses of magic mushrooms to alter my perceptions to match your own...Wink

Could we who can't pull off the alphabet without humming to ourselves beg for a bit more of a nudge?

 		okies a stronger clue:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
fill in the rest of the alphabet

and if you're still struggling:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
write the alphabet in a block on the picture, the lines will then point to the correct letters for the answers


EDIT: If anyone wants to post the puzzle pics for ones they're struggling with, go for it. There seems to be one or two that are giving everyone trouble, and it's good to share resource (that's what we're all about after all!).

P.S. If anyone can help with the Vigenere puzzle I know a couple of us would apprecaite it.
