Re: Adventure Challenge
Well, I guess my limitations in the English language rear their ugly head, because I've never heard of the game "shithead", so I'd never have guessed this one. Congratulations, Shornet!
Re: Adventure Challenge
Well I also never heard of the card game shithead before, but one can look it up on the internet I guess to see if shithead has some other meaningGunness wrote:Well, I guess my limitations in the English language rear their ugly head, because I've never heard of the game "shithead", so I'd never have guessed this one.

Re: Adventure Challenge
Finally, it's over!
I was starting to spend way too much time on this.
Good challenge Alex, you got me hooked with it. It wasn't as devious as I thought it was, I just didn't think to google "shithead".
I'll try to come up with something similarly nice by tomorrow.

Re: Adventure Challenge
So far you've got me puzzled. I'm still searching the right connection between Angelina Jolie and the Solheimajokull in Iceland, but lets make a guess: Codename Iceman
Re: Adventure Challenge
Nope.
You are thinking too deeply about the pictures. The proper names associated to the two pictures are not important.
You should just think of what the pictures depict and also take into account the particularities of each picture. These are as important as the pictures themselves.
Searching the CASA database based on just what you see in the pictures, without considering these particularities, will get you nowhere.

Re: Adventure Challenge
Ok, maybe I'm being a bit too cryptic.
Here is a reformulation of the first clue, along with some more information:
Clue 1B:
Sometimes missing the forehead makes you better.

Re: Adventure Challenge
Ohhh, so that's where Angelina been hiding lately 
Well, with the latest round of info, my guess is
Interface
"Face" is pretty obvious, especially w/o the forehead
"Inter" is both a play on words: Inter -> Into (the ground) and in the sense of "between" (as the images are split up between the lines).
How's that for a screwed-up explanation?

Re: Adventure Challenge
Unfortunately, both of you are wrong.
Jacob, you are getting closer to the correct answer.
However, your interpretation of the first picture together with the text clue is wrong, even though generally speaking you are thinking along the right lines.
Also the lines and the spaces have a different role than the one you thought of.

Re: Adventure Challenge
A gentle nudge in the right direction:
You should look for a very direct or literal interpretation to the lines and spaces in the pictures.

Re: Adventure Challenge
Crap, I just realized I may have misled you guys:
"This is a wrong interpretation of the text clue".
Also I think the forehead is an integral part of the face
I said this is a wrong interpretation of the first picture together with the text clue. While this is true on the whole, I should have formulated it as:Gunness wrote: "Face" is pretty obvious, especially w/o the forehead
"This is a wrong interpretation of the text clue".

although I think Jacobs explanation of the lines is rather good I choose a more simple solution :
behind the lines

Anyway, I'll guess Eclipse.
The lines divide the pictures equally. Both women have silly inflatable lips (which are not on their foreheads).

Both Eclipse and Behind the Lines are wrong.
Anyway, I'll say it again, the additions to the original pictures should be interpreted in a very literal sense.
Also, the answer you're looking for is a well known English idiom (slightly altered).
