hey hey hey!
I am only there cause...er....busy time in work [ yes that's it ;) ]
:D

I made a start on it on a spreadsheet.
All letters od alphabet at top and each symbol assigned a number.
Then linked each number to each other so when I assign a letter to a number, the whole spreadsheet will change. I'll probs work on it over the course of the w/e. I printed it out (turned it into a negative so the symbols are easier to read).

So I have put some planning into this :)

btw - another puzzle/riddle master is Cliff Johnson and his wonderful game The Fools Errand had me going for a long long time.
It, and his two other games, are available here for free:

http://www.fools-errand.com/

All 3 are are available for d/l but you do need to also d/l a prog to make 'em work. This interface has a life of 30 days [ tho' a reg cleaner sorted that one out ;) ]

Cliffs new game A Fool and his Money is realeased later this year.

bw barbed wire
l lizard
bm Bobby Moore
m Manchester
m Magwitch
m Macbeth
stm St Michael
m minerals
m Monkees
m Mexico
m Moses
mx Malcolm X


Go on, you know you want to ................... ;)

Barbed Wire, Snake, Manchester, Macwitch, Macbeth, Michael, Minerals, Monkees, Mexico, Moses, Malcom X

I had fools errand on my Amiga, quality game but never completed it due to a couple of brain headaching puzzles that almost caused me to destroy everything in my house :D

Well happy to find a PC version as ultimately my disk corrupted :(

me too - my Amiga version was fantastic - I had pages of written clues and answers and it was lovely to re-live via PC. I have completed all of it and am into the map bit now and it's just a question of committing some time to it once more.
Cliff very kindly put a hint/answer book on the site so the age old brain killers can be answered at last ;)

Thanks for the quest link...now added to me faves.

yes mate, use that and make sure you have 16 letters. if you dont, well, just throw in another 'm', they seem to be quite popular in this one
 
does 1.14 mean how many times the colour is written or how many times it is actually shown.
