PUZZLE DONKEY!

Korzic · Post by **Korzic** » 10/27/2004, 11:28 am

About a year ago, a puzzling phenomenon swept the internet. That fad was Puzzle Donkey. And now its back in its 4th season!

However. I'm going to take a stab and say that most of you have never heard of Puzzle Donkey. So why not check it out. www.puzzledonkey.com

The puzzles are tricky and challenging. I've completed the first 3 turns of the wheel. And now its up to Season 4. Keep in mind you dont necessarily need to start at season 1. So I figure theres enough grey matter in this little community here. Theres 5 rounds to each season. 20 puzzles per round. They get progressively harder towards the end. It's a good way to keep your mind active. Some puzzles are visual, some audio, some play on words. There's a whole raft of different sorts. So put your thinking caps on and...

LETS GET A PUZZLIN'

I'm unsure as to whether I should post the answers to the first 10. So I'll do them in spoiler text and reasoning

Answer 1: Dictionary - Starts with A and look up definitions
Answer 2: Samedi - Sameday/Samedi ... samedi being french
Answer 3: AXE - your 3 primary colours RGB. Take each primary colour and see which secondary colours contain them as well. Figure out which letters are formed
Answer 4: Spoke - He said/Spoke Self explanatory really (SE)
Answer 5: Richard - Vic Nic and Mick f(D)= Dic = Richard
Answer 6: Lemon - Say what you see (SWYS) Ezy Pezy ? Squeezy ? = Lemon
Answer 7: Atlas - Greek god who carried the world on his shoulders. SE
Answer 8: signed - burnt book = singed. Misread as signed
Answer 9: parabolic - a bit of trial and error here
Answer 10: sunburnt - sunburnt/unburnt SE

PS

This is not meant to be solved in a day. It can take a long time to get through all the puzzles. weeks, months even.. but there's a great sense of satisfaction in getting them solved. If you don't have the patience then you probably won't enjoy this, but if you like solveing riddles and problems, then this site is for you.

AN RGB colour wheel will help for the 3rd one.

Your hints are enough of a puzzle in and of themselves.

If you were to take each primary colour. Red Green Blue. Some of the colours there are secondary colours. Cyan (green + blue) and magenta (red + blue). If you were to take every single colour out of that picture except for say red. That also includes removing the blue out of magenta. You're left with a letter. Do the same for blue and green. You're left with a 3 letter word

where does the A come from????

Korzic · Post by **Korzic** » 10/27/2004, 9:05 pm

Take EVERY colour out except for red you are left with A. take EVERY colour except for green you're left with X take EVERY colour except blue you're left with E.

Magenta is red + blue, so if you take the blue out of magenta you're left with red.

Also remember that white = R + G + B

i'm definitely missing something.

there's no X anywhere to begin with......
