There must be something that I'm missing. Can someone with better understanding explain this to me please.

I thought this one was the characters in a comic book. They kill, maim, murder (which is pretty much exactly like kill) and slaughter so people will buy them. For money.

You could also count trees as being killed/maimed for them.

(My guess was based more off of the other clues)

So! My guess! I've gotten two in a row now, I feel special!

I shall guess Box number...33 No whammy, no whammy...

Clue 6: You have all the pieces, now just put them together!

Hint: Everything in the picture matters exactly once, and you've already used the animals to make the shapes. And that's magenta, not pink.

I'm sure if you're working on this puzzle, it's only a matter of time until you find yourself on the front end of the right train of thought. Although, if nobody gets the answer in the next 24 hours or so, I'm going to declare victory and the box from this riddle will be added to the next one. To recap the current riddle:

Clue 1:


Clue 2: Right click, save as...

Clue 3: Animals belong in pairs.

Clue 4: When you pair up the like animals, some shapes should make an appearance for you.

Clue 5: Sometimes you have to put it all together in order to see the more descriptive picture.

Clue 6: You have all the pieces, now just put them together!

Hint: Everything in the picture matters exactly once, and you've already used the animals to make the shapes. And that's magenta, not pink.

The logic is perfectly clear, the letters for each color match up similar pairs.

W - George W. Bush
AY - Ayatollah Khomeini

(both heads of state)

TR - Teddy Ruxpin, the animatronic bear
UD - UnDead (zombies)

(both animated, non-living creatures)

FL - Florida
GA - Georgia

(Both states have a fruit in the center of their license plate)

In other news, I haven't a clue what DiMono is going on about. If it turns out to need some sort of image editor, I'll be slightly annoyed. (I have an old copy of photoshop, maybe photoshop 4? on an old computer somewhere, but my current machine doesn't even have mspaint.)

Solution: Well, nobody got this one in about 4 or 5 days, and rather than hold up the entire thread with one puzzle I'm going to reveal the solution. If you still want to solve it on your own, I put it in secret tags... you don't have to look, I won't tell anyone.



Now, before anyone accuses me of creating an unreasonably difficult puzzle, here's the much more sadistic puzzle I modified in order to create mine:

The solutions to this puzzle and mine are only in the most tenuous way similar, in that both solutions require you to make the shapes out of the animals. If anyone can solve this original version, I'll be very, very impressed... I might even give you a square or two from the prize box. It's not an official puzzle for this thread though, so no hints will be forthcoming for it.

As for this puzzle, well the square for it can't go unused; it will be added to the reward for the next puzzle, meaning whoever solves the next puzzle will get two picks from the prize box instead of just one!

Clue to follow!
