[Puzzle 009]
Aug. 15th, 2012 10:49 am[Everyone around Luke is so sad lately. Some of the things he's heard about people going home are just heartbreaking.
It's hard to be sad about people leaving when no one from the world you belong to is here, particularly not anyone close. Instead, Luke has been trying to come up with a way to pass the time.]
Would anyone like to hear a puzzle? [Aware of how similar that sounds to someone he does miss, Luke winces a little and turns the book upright instead of flat.] I'll give everybody different ones this time, so you can't overhear the right answer and have it spoiled.
Or let's play a game! ...Uhm, but it is a puzzle game. Still, if we do it right everyone could play a little if they wanted to.
I'll give everyone a puzzle, and the first person to solve it with the right answer gets to give out the next one, for someone else to try to solve. We'll have to be careful about not stealing a chance from someone if we know the answer and they don't... [We. More like Luke will need to be careful.] But I want to try it! We'll just all have to be gentlemanly with each other.
Oh. Uh. And, um, ladylike. S-Sorry.
[[ooc: LET'S DO BOTH. There will be a thread in this post for the puzzle round robin, and anyone who would like to join in can do so! Luke will start, and the first correct guesser gets to post his/her own puzzle (in a new sub-thread under the 'puzzle game' heading, to help with keeping things noticeable!) for the group to try to solve next! This can keep going on, so if you miss out on one, no worries - just try for the next one! You are not limited to wordplay either; go ahead with math puzzles or images or anything, really, that is confounding and must be solved!
Luke will do his best not to just answer them all. He's solved a lot of puzzles.
If you'd like your character to just hear a puzzle of their own (or engage Luke in some one-on-one solving competition), then bypass the puzzle game thread and tag away.Secret vessel for my love of riddles and brainteasers go.]]
