#25 What's in a name?

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

I don't get this. It's supposed to be really easy from what it's rated (although that's just 1 person) and it looks easy, but what IS IT???
I thought of maybe putting "letters" as the answer or some of the letters in "a name" or in "inside" I even tried looking in the side of the picture, but I don't get it. Is this something really obvious that I just can't find?

[Jamul]

Not that it means much, but anything that has exactly 1 rating, that's my rating that I put in to start it off. So I may be way off on any of them, since I know the answer! If you want to know what people really think, give it a couple days and people will have solved and rated it.

Images on the internet are more than just pictures.

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

AH YES I SUDDENLY THINK IVE GOT IT! GENIUS! GENIUS!

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

Oh wait, I thought I had it but I really didn't. :? ... :x

[MathMan]

I think I found what you were talking about Nebro.. not sure if its what Banjooie meant, and even if so, I'm not sure how to get an answer from it. Hmm.

[Anonymous]

well, if you can't get it, link the picture to a few people who don't play the game. Maybe they can help you.

[Anonymous]

I'm completely clueless on this one too..

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

What I did was right click on the picture and put save as
I thought maybe the name of the picture file was the answer. But alas...

[eytanz]

This is a multi-step puzzle - the first thing you need to figure out is where to look for information. Then, that information will help you to find the answer. Then, well, you'll see.

[MathMan]

Well, I thought I had found the information, but I don't have a clue how you'd be able to work anything else out from that, so I probably am looking at the wrong thing altogether :(

[Anonymous]

this is so stupied i can not get it... can any of you give me a hint or something... it is scurwing with my mind

[labrat]

I did what I think we all did but I cant make heads nor tails of it

[CatWoman]

I have no clue either. I do crochet, so I can tell you the yarn stuff looks like a granny square, but that's not the answer. I tried lots of crochet terms for what could be inside -- none worked. Sigh. So far 16 players have won it, but I'm not one of them.

Off topic: I find it confusing that Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy is using the avatar that McMonkeyMcBean won in a contest. I keep thinking my old friend MMMB is posting. Sigh.

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

McMonkeyMcBean won this in a contest?
Hmm... I should use another avatar then. Now which shall I choose?

[simibhu]

I solved it, but I have no clue on how to give hints..... (and what did that answer have to do with it? >_>)

[CatWoman]

McMonkeyMcBean won this in a contest?
Hmm... I should use another avatar then. Now which shall I choose?

Very cool. I like your new look! :D

[Anonymous]

so, you need to look inside the puzzle to see what that image really is, then look inside that to know what you should be looking at. then look inside that, and by the time you're done, you'll realize that if you look inside the image closely, you've already seen the answer

[crassycatz]

i thought it might have been a magic eye picture.... you know those ones that if you squint you can see something coming out of the picture... i tried it but the "look inside" was too vibrant! any one who might have since solved this got any clues?

[oxygenthief]

I thought maybe that the weird second hint you get is some kind of l337 speak, can anyone confirm?

[vozome]

Got it!!! this one may be more or less obvious depending on your computer :(

[susan3001]

Guest, i LOOKED IN THEN OUT THEN IN. iT LOOKS LIKE A RAIN BOW IN, BUT THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER! i JUST DON'T SEE IT!

[Moebius]

You might ask yourself "what are some of the properties of the image I'm looking at?"

[crassycatz]

thats just confused me even more... altho it has given me a couple of ideas!! lol, doubt they will be right tho! :(

[Moebius]

thats just confused me even more... altho it has given me a couple of ideas!! lol, doubt they will be right tho! :(

Don't know if your ideas are right or not, but the first part of the answer's just a click away. Hopefully it's not the wrong click.

[*Jacob*]

Yeah, I'm totally lost too.

I have just as much as what I think other lost people have...knitwork, colored rainbow...thought it was over cork or wood....?

[Moebius]

Think of the title of the puzzle, and maybe consider saving the picture to your computer for reference later on.

[susan3001]

properties- It is colorful, pastels, rainbowish, like rainbow sherbert. I am still totally lost. I am sure you brainiacs really think this is funny!

[Zaratus]

I got the first part of the puzzle, but I just can't seem to get anything from that second part...

Most of the hints thus far seem to be directing how to get to the second part...

Gah...

This is making me feel dumb, which is perhaps the point. =P

Maybe I'm just thinking too hard. I seem to be doing the same for Negative Greetings, as even though most people seem to be getting that no problem and even rating it easily, for some reason, I just CAN'T get it. *shrug*

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

Okay, I know what you get from the image, but I don't know what to do with that. Google doesn't bring up anything.

[Moebius]

properties- It is colorful, pastels, rainbowish, like rainbow sherbert. I am still totally lost. I am sure you brainiacs really think this is funny!

Those aren't quite the type of "properties" I'm referring to. Keep plugging at it. The right path is just a click away.

[dannawii]

i dont get this either! i've tried properties, ive tried clicks, links, saving, sending! everything! even looking at the code in notepad! what am i missing?

[susan3001]

I am with you Dannawii, I just can't get it either!!!!!!!!!!!1

[labrat]

Pretty sure I got the first part. Any hints on where to go after you get the word? Google didnt seem to help

[dannawii]

well it's not quite right!!! so maybe its...
got it? :wink:

[labrat]

Thanks that last clue helped a lot!!

[crassycatz]

im still lost... these clues are helping but i guess not in the right way!!!

[labrat]

hrm...Myabe try www.hellodumbperson.com.... Oh wait thats not the right url

[crassycatz]

excuse me... was that aimed at me? coz if it was you dont even know me, just because i cant solve one stupid puzzle doesnt make me dumb, and i take great offence to what you said!

[senork]

I assure you it wasn't, but I'll let him explain.

[labrat]

CrassyCatz, I assure you that I was not trying to call you dumb.. Once you get the puzzle (or at least the second part) you'll realize that I was not trying to insult. and a direct link would have been a big clue...

[Jamul]

BIG warning to the two people who posted MEGA ULTRA SUPREME spoilers. Please keep to HINTS only. That doesn't mean "only post the first half of the answer", it means only post hints.

[crassycatz]

Jamul, i take full responsibility for the "mega ultra supreme spoilers" i know i didnt post them but im being mega ultra supremely dumb and they were just trying to help as much as poss and even with all those clues i STILL cant get it!!! it just doesnt make sense to me!!

[Nebro-Gubular SpisBoy]

You should be a politician, crassycatz. :wink:

[senork]

anyone want to help me witht he second part?

[crassycatz]

You should be a politician, crassycatz. :wink:

what coz im ultra supremely dumb?? lol

[lexie_98]

Ok i have the clue and have looked all over google and the internet with it and found three references, all wrong :( Then i changed the word, still nothing I need help and not just the psychiatric kind :?

[katefolsom]

I think I MAY have gotten the first step, but now I'm ever so lost.

[mokin]

I've gotten the first part. The second hint has me baffled. Could anyone give me a hint?

Also, am I correct in assuming it ISN'T leetspeak?

[lexie_98]

so i'm guessing we all get the same thing for the 1st and 2nd parts any idea how to turn that into an answer. my head hurts:(

[smrq]

Right, so here's a moderate hint for those of you that still have this one left.
http://www.daskeyboard.com/

[Nathan_1025]

HA I just got this one.
I read WAY into this one.

[muddylemon]

leet speak would be for people very familiar with computers, the answer to this one would be more likely un-leet speak.

[crassycatz]

im still stuck on this one... that keyboard really doesnt help much, i dont see how that comes into it at all!!! help please!!

[misterpink]

Banjooie gives two hints near the beginning of this thread that are excellent ...

[crassycatz]

yes i know, ive got the message but i really just dont get it or what it means, and i know people have given hints, ive tried substituting letters doing it forwards and backwards, but really nothing makes any sense to me!!

[Acrobad]

Two parts to the answer: (I think I'm giving away too much... but lets try this. The more you read the more you find. Stop reading when you find it's enoudh already!)

First part - well, I'll try say something not suggested yet... pay no attention to the picture itself, but inside the picture... how do you look into the inside of the picture? You should know more about it! How do you know more about it? Well if I want to know a girl I'd probably want to know her height and weight... but how do I do that when I don't even know her name yet?! I can't just take her out of the bar and ask her... I must ask her right there, right? If only I knew her better I might be able to follow her home!

Second part - So I got to her house, and I was trying to msn my friend telling how I scored... but **** her place is dark! My friends keep having trouble understand what I'm saying! Stupid keyboard must be busted... or is it human error on my behalf?

[crassycatz]

HURRAAAAHHHHH...

lol im not sure if your help actually worked or just confused me more, but in a spark of inspiration i got it!! man this one was doing my head in!!!

cant believe how relieved i am! and happy!! lol

[Garf]

This one got on my nerves, and now after solving, I looked at my notes and found out that my first remark about it would have been the correct answer.

But I worked on it for like a week. Grind.

[Puppy_Zwolle]

Can't understand what was so hard. This puzzle is easy..

NOT! :wink:

Why hints don't 'help'?
Because this is 'an easy puzzle'. There is not much to explain. It's the ultimate Aha-erlebniss. Stick to the hints in the puzzle itself and all will be revealed grashopper.

[keyadv]

:shock: i totally cannot figure this out!! and i have read through the "hints" over and over - how about a less cryptic hint??

[Masem]

For the second part, just shift the index a bit.

[keyadv]

can someone pm me a major hint for part one? I totally don't get this one. :roll: :roll:

[cutebunny70]

sumone pls pm as well

[keyadv]

ok i totally give up - at this point I don't want to work on it anymore. Can someone pm me the answer and I'll figure out how I should have gotten it - Going mad over here :evil:

[keyadv]

ok i totally give up - at this point I don't want to work on it anymore. Can someone pm me the answer and I'll figure out how I should have gotten it - Going mad over here :evil:

[keyadv]

thanks to the 3 people who pm'd me and the great hints. Needless to say - for the second part of the puzzle I was looking at the wrong thing. Now that I have it - all previous clues DO make sense. thanks much! :lol:

[cutebunny70]

i got this too thanks to labrat

the properties are helpful and after you get the first part the hint about it not being right is helpful

thanks for all the hints

[Rouch]

Hey all,

I'm stuck! I have the first part, and have shifted my index left, right, up & down, and tis not working...please help me!

Cheers,
Rouch

[rhinoboy]

can somebody pm me in the rite direction. i'm struggling here.

[Masem]

Another hint. What's so special about the letters F and J?

[lefou22@aol.com]

i'm going crazy.
can someone please PM me a HUGE hint or the answer???

thanks

[jdstew218]

OK...I hate asking for help but this one has been troubling me for just too long. I've had easier times with puzzles rated much harder. I'm getting that I need to check the properties of the picture but the rest is eluding me. What in the properties am I looking for?

*cry*

[lyn]

Another hint. What's so special about the letters F and J?

tried all I know. I have the first part and have tried a zillion things and no luck.pm me please .What am I missing?

[jdstew218]

Another hint. What's so special about the letters F and J?

They are referred to a home keys. I'm still drawing a blank...

[spaz102]

i like the answer, good with grapes in my opinion.
what is -unique- about the hidden message in the picture?

[eyesofblue227]

I need a shove, people...I can't seem to find anything in the text that is jumping out at me...please reply or PM. Will gladly trade hints for another puzzle. :D Thanks.

[lyn]

OK these clues are only confusing me more. I have spent the longest time on this puzzle and am giving in. Someone PLEASE pm me some major help.I feel like the dumbest person on dumb!!!!

[notsowize]

I'm in the same boat as the others who are pulling their hair out. Is the final answer a real word? And shifting fingers is a key to it? And it is all based on five letters found "inside" the picture?

help me

[the_crowbar]

I'm in the same boat as the others who are pulling their hair out. Is the final answer a real word? And shifting fingers is a key to it? And it is all based on five letters found "inside" the picture?

help me

The final answer is a real word. (Great for breakfast BTW) When you get to the second step of the puzzle (the shifting part) there is a word that rhymes with the proper way to shift.

Hope this isn't too much.

[crassycatz]

hmmm i did this one a while back, had some one email me for help went to refresh my memory and it appears that the second part of the clue doesnt work anymore!! is this just me? or am i being retarded and getting it wrong!!??

[Jamul]

There haven't been any changes to the puzzle, which I'm afraid leaves you with only one option!

[crassycatz]

:shock: jamul are you calling me retarded!? :lol:

edit: ok so i checked it out again, and again it didnt seem to work, went to pm jamul to check what i was doing was right and then it worked!!! DOH! :oops:
Maybe i am just a dumb person then!! :P

[powermouse]

I just wanted to say that most of the hints in this thread just confused me and there are a few that still make very little sense to me and I've solved the puzzle! I want to try and help but I'm worried I'll just make things even more confused in an already confusing thread...ah well, you never know what might help someone right? :)

1. There are different ways to get to the second phase of the puzzle. Using "properties" is just one of at least 2 ways. The title is "What's In A Name?" so presumably, you need to figure out some kind of name. Once you do that, you will need to make a minor substitution (which should be obvious) in order to go to the next step.

2. Once you get to the next step, think about the clue in that step and how it could apply to a computer peripheral that has been alluded to directly in this thread in several posts.

Good luck!

[katefolsom]

I've been puzzling over this one, on and off, for months. I have considered the properties (I get that part) I have tried to shift the word both rightly and not rightly, and still I'm lost.

The hints are confusing. Especially the ones about breakfast. Could someone PM me a HUGE hint or something? ****!

[lunchgirl]

ok, I don't get it. I've tried to do everything I can possibly think of, and I can't get to the second stage. Is there a chance it has been moved or something?

[Kara_15]

Alright, I give up. I have tried absolutly everything I can think of... I think I've solved the first part related to proporties. Maybe I'm thinking too much, but nothing jumps out at me... none of the clues on here make any sense to me! =( Could someone pm me either a GIANT hint or the answer? Thanks, I'm at my wit's end!

[dumbutt1]

Another hint. What's so special about the letters F and J?

well, i dont see how those bumps have ANYTHING to do with this. anyway, im one of those people who need a shove to get started on this puzzle. can any1 PM me a spoiler or something?

[Kill-kill]

It's amazing what you can get when you put two hints together....

Try to describe it, but be sure not to do it wrong.

Find the posts that suggest doing those, and the phrasing might help you.

[alex the meaty]

Sometimes I get these intuition puzzles pretty easily, but if they don't happen then i'm stuck for life. Would someone please PM me some hints to get started. I having problems with the "look inside" part, and I'm pretty computer savvy.

Thanks!!

[alex the meaty]

Regarding the first part of the puzzle, I really am having no luck with that minor substitution you are talking about. I can see what is buried in the name, and it should take me someplace I'm assuming, but I just can't get it to work. Firefox must think i'm an idiot or something.

[knightsoccer]

so i've already solved this puzzle(along with the rest of them) and now that ive come back to it i cant seem to get it. Could anyone send me a reminder?

[p0ntus]

This puzzle drove me nuts. I had the answer very early, but the _ was a huge problem. When it didn't like that, Opera added / which makes the result inoperable. I'm guessing Firefox does the same thing based on some people's messages. Had I been using a dumber browser the answer would have been unsullied, albeit incomprehensible to IE6, and I would have made the proper adjustment and went on my way. As it turned out, I spent two hours on it, not realizing the error, when I had the answer in just a few seconds.

My hint: Look over the names (not titles) of a few of the other puzzles and figure out why this one is different.

And then, of course, don't make the mistake I made. :cry:

[jEFF]

I can't get the somewhere else to work either can anyone verify that it is still up?

I think part of the puzzle is posting a " I can't do it " and then it magically works. LOL

[Nathan_1025]

Once you get to the second part of the puzzle, Beyonce's song will help you out some.

[matt770]

ok i give up i dont get what to look into or what the heck to do can someone give me a huge hint or a spoiler im desperate XD
-matt

[blackleecy]

aaaaaghhhh help me!!!! I cant do this thing! I think I know whats going on but I just cant do it! I have saved this file to my computer I have looked inside it! I see whats different with the name and not the title I understand what people mean by shift with the keys? :-S I think?! ive tried it I cant see anything significant! I am gonna be bald if I dont figure this out soon!! Help me......Please!

[zelamonster]

This one's kind of mean to people with Dvorak keyboards...
