 		Have we determined the origin of these puzzles? Are they from the queen? Maybe one of the people who get a live call could ask her for another clue. Although, if the puzzles come from the SP we'd better not ask the queen for help.

Here's one idea I'm trying:

Take the number of letters in each preposition.
Subtract 1 so that the lengths range from 1 to 9.
Get "96356314514465445351645646132753433154935"

Plays a tune on a touch-tone phone? (sounds like? Smile )


For those interested in pursuing the touch tones approach, this link may help.

Um... Trout Use Search, it really helps. In answer to your question...there puzzles are from the SP.

OK, the real reason for my post: anyone out there not on dial-up could be useful right now. I actually used ask.com *shudder* and it threw up a site: http://www.purpleroom.com/software/ This website features a program called Rhymesaurus, which is downloadable for a 30-day free trial, and which contains:

website wrote:

Rhyming Dictionary: The world's most powerful rhyming dictionary, containing over 120,000 words and providing 21 different rhyme types, including perfect rhymes, reverse rhymes, assonnance, consonance, and much more.
Webster's Dictionary: A 115,000 word Webster's dictionary, with full definitions.

WordSurf: a powerful reference tool with 120,000 root words for finding synonyms, antonyms, word relationships, and much more.

Now I'd download it and play with it, but it's 44.4MB and I'm on dial-up Crying or Very sad So anyone who uses it and gets the solution with it...dammit I want some credit! Razz

 		1st letter -> touchtones = semi-random noise
Well, I tried taking the 1st letter of each word in the preposition list, converted it to the phone pad equivalent & got little more than a bunch of beeping. If the solution does involve touch tones, I doubt this is the answer; the string of 2's seems distinctly unmusical. In case a more musical type cares to listen, the resultant # string is:

 		ideas
as we struggle along with this it seems to me that perhaps "prepositions" is not what the list is supposed to be. other ideas: words, words between lines, english... ( ok I don't have a lot of ideas here but you get the drift)

as for sounds like:
the number 41 has a bunch of possiblities some of which are:

41
fore wan
four won
for run
fur ? one

41
four to one ( same substitutes as above - and "to" could be "2", "too")
forte one

I don't have any ideas and am totally hindered by the fact "sounds like" makes me want to say:Teenage Spirit -- even though completely wrong track, wrong word, wrong song..

 		supposition sounds like preposition?

'Supposition' is in one of the other .wav files & has also appeared on numerous 'sounds like' & rhyming lists. <shrug> maybe just more straws to grasp at...[/quote]

Perhaps I should have been more specific in my original post. I don't have time to read 30+ pages because I'm at work. Nor do I have time to go diggin in depth in a huge forum. I know you people who have time to participate all day get tired of answering the same questions, but not everybody can afford to be on top of every detail. In the mean time, I'll take my trout with a little lemon please.

 		Qestions like that - where you know you have missed a lot of the game - should probably be posed in the trout-free Question Forum rather than here in the puzzle forum where the trout will indeed fly. And a runthrough of the fireflies wiki would probably save you the grief entirely.

Because the answer to your question goes back at least 4 weeks - this is how the SP has been talking to us. OLD news.

There's a trout free forum? I was refered here specifically for this puzzle (and one other a few weeks ago). It's what ever. I guess at this point you can't really be a new participant without offending the oligarchy. Good luck.

 		I've searched, so if it's already been mentioned I apologize in advance...

When I learned about prepositions in school the way we were told to know if something was a preposition was to make sure it was things a squirel could do to a log. For example: the squirel was Underneath the log, the squirel was below the log...

I tried things that rymed with log, but haven't found anything yet...

maybe someone else can take that further then I...

 		[PUZZLE]Oct 8th embedded image puzzle solving here!
I was taught that prepositions are "linking words" or "relationship words". If the PM's schooling was similar we may be expected to try "Sounds Like linking words" or "Sounds Like 41 linking words", etc.

 		I really think the dashes have something to do with this puzzle.
As both clues are "between" dashes and the 21st word counting from both the top and bottom is "between", its atleast something to look at.
