Opus X: March 2007

[Trumpetmaster]

No, that's not me. I (fortunately) have more hair than that on the back of my head.

And that sombrero doesn't reveal much of it either.

Since TM said that it was "your picture," and judging your height from the other pic, I thought it was you.

Navneeth,
I think you misunderstood...
I saw the post from Shapley looking for a picture of Candide...
so I put one up..... and meant here is the picture you were looking for...

great....
this makes it more abstract.......

I may have to concede until my old grey matter is fresher in the AM....

goodness....

Oooh...two clues in the span of one second. You better get it now. Although I don't really understand hal's clue.

Well, my clue is what happens, but what appears to happen is:

D D D r
D D D D

respectively.

What the #*$% ?

You lost me.

I got the D and r reference. I got the composer and possibly also the piece. the "Mahler guy" is actually a compatriot of Mahler.

[Shapley]

The clues are thick as flies and are proving very fruitful

*

From your post, I can only conclude that is Time Flies Like an Arrow, But Fruit Flies Like A Banana In the Key of D, by Dr. Phil.














* paraphrase of deleted quote

[Marye]

that was my guess too, Shap.

[Shapley]

Bignaf:

You edited your post, removing the reference for my post.

Now I'll have to insert a paraphrase in the form of a quote, to keep my post valid.

[hal 9000]

Make some noise for bignaf! He is the next to correctly solve this Opus X!

For those miffed by the Dr clue, let's put it another way:

Actual

Brown/blue Brown/blue: Brown/Brown Brown/blue Brown/blue blue/blue
Brown/Brown blue/blue: Brown/blue Brown/blue Brown/blue Brown/blue

Appearance

Brown Brown Brown blue
Brown Brown Brown Brown

[Shapley]

My guess would now be that it is True Colors, except that photo doesn't look like Cindy Lauper, either.

[navneeth]

For those miffed by the Dr clue, let's put it another way:

Actual

Brown/blue Brown/blue: Brown/Brown Brown/blue Brown/blue blue/blue
Brown/Brown blue/blue: Brown/blue Brown/blue Brown/blue Brown/blue

Appearance

Brown Brown Brown blue
Brown Brown Brown Brown

That is going to be my pet puzzle to solve. Is this an American reference?

Well, not exactly. I made it up and I am an American though, so I suppose you could say that. I can also say this as well though:

blue/blue Brown/blue: Brown/blue blue/blue Brown/blue blue/blue

Brown blue Brown blue

yeah, I decided the clue was too confusing.

[bignaf]

once you get the D r clue you can really dominate this puzzle.

[hal 9000]

Here's a repost of the puzzle so that you don't have to jump to page 1 to see it.

x 5

[navneeth]

:#1: x 5

What's that supposed to mean?

[hal 9000]

Indeed! Give a big round of applause to Catmando, who diligently pursued the correct answer despite the obstacles that he faced along the way. Bravo!

:#1: x 5

What's that supposed to mean?

It took me 5 guesses to finally attain the coveted prize!
