flockofbirds222 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I always look into this thread and think I want to try to solve one of those riddles again but then I read the riddle and remember why I didn't look into the thread all the time... :laugh4: But this time I'll at least try:D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockofbirds222 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 That year, one day before the day associated with love, somebody was born. Could we be talking about Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Could we be talking about Christmas? my first thought was Feb. 13th, the day before Valentine's Day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockofbirds222 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 my first thought was Feb. 13th, the day before Valentine's Day Oh I agree, that's probably a better guess:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nie Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I have worked my way from the bottow up too. Looked at persons who were born the 13th february. And I found Peter Gabriels (1950). After some Google searches I found out that Chris once introduced him to the R&R Hall of Fame and that they both have performed a song "Washing of the Water". Seems it is one of Chris' favorites. AND, it contains the following lyrics: "But here in this water, my feet won't touch the ground" So-ohooooh, my guesses are : - Now my feet won't thouch the ground - Strawberry Swing both have "water themes" or Life in Technicolor ii :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nie Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 By the way, I have found an article about a certain Egon Eiermann. But it was in German and I tried to translate. I think it said that he swore on his soul that the stadium could be build. And it was by Frei Otto. Am I on a right track here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I didn't have the faintest idea what you're talking about... :blush: I just looked it up, but it doesn't have anything to do with the riddle. (But your creativity in coming up with ideas and theories continues to astonish me :D and I just watched the Gabriel Hall of fame induction with Chris) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ok I have done my share for today. [emoji16] I have to let it rest for a while. Robbie Williams was born on 13 February too. If someone wants to dig into that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 If someone wants to dig into that... No please don't, everybody. I assure you it won't help you :) You have to work on the first sentence of the riddle first, it is the key to everything ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't think of any names that would be related to the stadium... Wait, maybe the name is Olympia?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockofbirds222 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I was looking for famous people called Olympia but I could only find a german article... But it doesn't lead me anywhere.

flockofbirds222 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 you and i have found different results (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia) Strange, it wouldn't let me switch the language to english i thought there was no article for it at all...

I ran away Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm gonna put the first clue into a clearer wording now so that it goes on the right direction. You may have to look up a word... If you would swear "never" to say this person's name in German, you would already have contradicted yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy42 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 So I guess this requires us to know a little bit of German. @flockofbirds222, give it a try :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
