Novah Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 **UPDATE*** we have a winner. Congrats to Natster! : ) I may do this again, and I'll try to make the puzzles easier next time, hehe. --------------------- All right, so I got my Talk Live in Holland 3CD set in the mail today, which leaves me with an extra copy of CD3 (the blue one): It has Talk, Til Kingdom Come, and Fix You, all live in Holland. Rather than sell it on eBay I thought it would be way more fun to challenge you all to a little puzzle. Whoever figures it out first, I’m going to mail you this cool thing. :D There are two clues. The first half is kind of like a crossword puzzle. Of course, the answers are all Coldplay songs. (spaces don’t count) 1 (1 of 7) 9.8 m/s^2 (on earth, at least) 2 (12 of 12) Good when you’re thirsty 3 (4 of 7) This brings experience, and experience brings wisdom 4 (4 of 7) Metazoa 5 (3 and of 17 of 17) Drowned? 6 (8 of 12) Has a PhD 7 (4 of 8) Go away! Come again another day! 8 (1 of 10) used to overcome #1 9 (1 and 8 of 12) 330 m/s (1,083 ft/s) Once you figure out the 9-letter “word” (it’s not really a word), you’ll need to do some Googling to find clue number 2. (hint for part 2--find the old barn! ;)) (Apologies if this is really hard, but in addition to Coldplay, I am also a huge fan of Myst.) Contest will run for 3 consecutive units of time. Good luck! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
