otb31.jpgotb21.jpgotb41.jpgotb1 (2)1.jpgAs always, first one to solve all 4 in the comments section gets a virtual high-five from Jason. These aren’t that hard so I expect someone to answer correctly within 10 minutes of this post going up. Thanks to Alan at OutsideTheBoxPuzzles.com!

  12. “fade in” is pretty good but it wasn’t the answer i had in mind. so i’m still looking for the answer to the one with the big “N.”

  15. The upper right quadrant puzzle is a little tougher but hey, they’re called puzzles not obviouses! Tip – up in Canad’er, we sometimes take to soaking our feet in ‘igloo run-off’ just outside on the porch, when we need to thunk a little smarter on a nice warm sunny day like today:)

  32. so here’s a virtual high-five to all you guys for contributing. i was looking for “Enlighten Up” but very close!

    posted by Will on 10-11-2006 at 5:43 pm

  33. in fact, I think “enlightened” is close enough. and Jason, “Jonny” was a brilliant guess.
