I don't think that has anything to do with the answer for the answer I got fits all the clues.

Here's the smallest hint I can give you.

Think of lady liberty leading the people into a musical act.

If you get the answer, you may see what I'm referring to.


The question is, do you like Coldplay and paintings? Otherwise, it doesn't. Mine fits all the clues too.

Oh, and Jerusalem.

I sound like a complete idiot, don't I? After the contest is over you can PM me, and I'll show you what I meant.

Here's the smallest hint I can give you.

Think of Lady Liberty leading the people into a musical act, and think of Singapore's capital being Singapore City. If you examine the "Singapore City" of Lady Liberty's musical act, you will find the word. You just might not recognize it.

If you get the answer, you may see what I'm referring to. Provided you like Coldplay and paintings.


just shut up

:D

FINALLY got it.

heres a hint guys.

For all of you that have played legend of zelda...what is a poe in that game?
Bo, that can't be it. You mean the next...er...thing....in the....uh...reference? I came up with that like an hour ago. It's way to freaking random.

FUN TIME

I got it. I'm sure five people already got the answer but this was fun to figure out once I finally understood what to do.

If they're seriously not going to give it to the first 5 people who were right because they were "helping" the community as a whole I'll be mad. As I've stated before we're supposed to be a community, as far I know a community is supposed to help it's members...i mean sure if one guy found the answer and PM'd all his friends and they submitted it by all means don't give it to him.

However no "major" clues were given in the first few pages of this thread...this puzzle was also put up over 4 hours ago, if people need help who are we to deny them?? Remember what your teacher used to say "I can help you...but i can't give you the answer" that's exactly what those who already have it are doing...pointing people in the right direction so they can get the answer for themselves and enter a contest..


Feel free to be mad; that will be approximately as reasonable as the rest of your post. They made it very clear from the beginning that posting answers was prohibited.

Also: "If people need help, who are we to deny them?" Seriously? "Pointing people in the right direction so they can get the answer for themselves and enter a contest..." and consequently reduce the chances of those who legitimately solved the puzzle? The entire point of this puzzle is to think through it and figure it out. It's designed to be difficult; they said as much when they posted it. Not everyone is supposed to figure it out. That's the whole point.

Now, if they wanted to close the contest after a certain point, but wait a day or so before posting the answers, so people could help those who couldn't figure it out on their own? Fine. I'd have no problem with that. But for people to just hand out clues -- some more accurate than others -- to a puzzle for a contest with a limited prize? That defeats the whole purpose of the puzzle.

Ok in response to the thread regarding Legend of zelda and the poe, i think every1 knows what a "poe" is; however what the "poe is" is not the word that bungie is looking for but merely what comes before it. There are many references to Tron and Snowwhite, but the answer is prob something that is right in front of our eyes and we r prob just overanalyzing it. It is prob so much in front of our faces that this puzzle is actually hard.

Sticky Chins!

Be careful. Some people are posting false hints in order to derail you. Keep on the straight path! Assume everyone is full of -blam!- until you can prove them right based on the evidence.

I'm everywhere, I'm it.

I put my own answer and tried to ignore all of this nonsense that has been posted.

Are you ready?

Oh, and Jerusalem.


Lol I answered the same as you.
But this was pretty hard, and non-english speakers will have a hard time figuring this out.
Good luck everyone, happy Bungie day

Its good to see this has turned into the Halo equivalent of "Twin Peaks".

  • 07.07.2009 2:44 PM PDT

i submitted my answer in plural form, i hope it doesnt matter if the answer is singular.

Most search functions with look at portions of words for relevence, but if they set it to only look at the whole word then......idk

I got it, and I now think that even if I win Recon, finishing the puzzle was more worth it.
