Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Does this remind anyone else of Petals Around the Rose? (Except that one took me forever to get and this one I twigged almost immediately. Maybe because this one is word-based and that one number based? )
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
I could never figure that one out. Numbers don't make sense to me.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*grin* I eventually cheated on that one.
Google is your friend. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
rivka, I am shocked. It is like that game, in several ways-- including that the name is significant. (The name we always knew this game by is "The Green Glass Room".)
Posted by Alix (Member # 7287) on :
See, but not sea. Poor, but not pour. Cheek, but not chic.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
kq, why shocked? I made a legitimate effort to figure that one out. I tried the hints, which helped me not one whit; cogitated for quite some time; and finally gave up. Why is Googling (I quite openly linked to the site -- which had fairly blatant hints, rather than an actual answer) any worse than just asking for the answer?
Actually, I think it shows quite a bit of initiative of my part. Especially since 90+% of the Google hits were absolutely useless, since they had the game but no solution.
(And yes, I know you're teasing. )

Can't this thread just die? (and no, I wasn't cheating. I honestly don't know what the trick is. I can see the relationships, but then sometimes they don't seem to apply and I'm confused. So I just keep guessing.)
I suppose I'm wise, but not smart.
Posted by neo-dragon (Member # 7168) on :
Wise, but not smart doesn't work.
I guess you're skilled, but not a master.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
You suppose, but you don't quite get. Yet.
You seem to have discovered a trick that is usually but not always ( ) the case. It is not The Answer.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
In any case, I wouldn't call that cheating unless you tried to claim you had figured it out.
Did you want to be told the trick? Or get hints? (Hey, I had to Google the answer to Petals Around the Rose -- I see nothing wrong with giving up after a genuine attempt. )
