Title: Wingdings Riddle
Post by: iago on April 27, 2008, 08:33:11 PM
The string STRU, in wingdings, makes an actual word (or, more likely, a riddle itself). What is it?

(http://www.javaop.com/~ron/tmp/stru.png)

(I don't know the answer, but I can verify if it's right. I've been trying to get it for hours..)

Hint: I can confirm that three of these four words are correct: waterdrop, snowflake, sun, cross. I would guess that "waterdrop" is the wrong one.

tear, snowflake, sun, cross
or
waterdrop, snowflake, star, cross

Sadly, I can't verify the first word. Long story.

I'm reasonably sure it's "water", though, that makes the most sense.

Water, Snowflake, Sun, Cross... what are snowflakes uncrossed? But I can't think of what the answer to that would be.

How are you checking to see if they're right?

This is part of a game, I can input the final answer.

The way I know that 3 of the 4 words are right was by asking somebody, but he won't confirm which is wrong or whether or not new guesses are right.

What, you didn't know that tear-snowflake-sun-cross is a word?

Well, let's just say he changed the R in STRU.  :)

I see 3 seasons (spring, winter, summer) and Christianity. Since fall is missing, I'd guess, "The fall of Christianity," but that doesn't seem right based on your friend's hint.

I don't think that's right, but it's a great try! :)

We got the answer. It isn't a "mad gabs" style thing. Let me know if you want it.

Wow, I really never would have guessed that out of the symbols. It's slightly less climactic then I made it out to be, in my head.

I can't, it's against the rules and, at this point, you have to pay for an account. That means if a spoiler is posted, he can shut down and not let you play.

(you don't pay much, but it's enough)

I'm sure the great iago could figure 13 somethings out to help in this situation.. ;)

No idea what this means, I'm guessing it's taken from some online game.

In any case, can you PM me the answer?

Yeah, it's from an online game called notpron.

And the answer isn't stupid, it's actually a pretty common thing done throughout the game. I was looking for a way to solve it like this, actually, but I couldn't think of the right words. :)
