[Morty]

Oh right... I've messed up. Didn't remember that the nation names were hidden, as I used the ferret show, so I just tried to match the riddles with the pictures... Ignore me.

08 SWEEN

Hopefully you could make out what this image was!!

SWEEN's solution was...

This riddle all stemmed from SF and the fact that he may be "missing the d**k"... a desireable piece of meat to some can be considered to be this part of male anatomy, but the fact that it's missing the "d", you have to take the d off the word to get "-ick" and then add a "p" to get... "PICK"

 

[iowacorn]

Because Sween is Sweden with the D!

 

[theditz83]

This show really is a sharp insight into the inner-most workings of our brains @iowacorn - we're very special...

 

[theditz83]

Because Sween is Sweden with the D!

Yeah, I totally forgot that aspect when writing the riddle [clown emoji]

09 TAMAUSIA & DELTANNOR

TAMAUSIA & DELTANNOR's solution was...

This riddle solution all related to T&D's flag, depicting a boat. The reference to gravy hinted at a gravy boat, and the other part of the riddle was a reference to the phrase "we're in the same boat".

 

[iowacorn]

Yeah, I totally forgot that aspect when writing the riddle [clown emoji]

I thought Icepick was genius as it suggest being nordic!!!

 

[Morty]

I had written it as a thermometer. Looks like the type my dad uses to check on the temperature when he's cooking steaks. Desirable pieces of meat. The rest of it made no sense tho.

10 RAHASIA-DIATI

We've reached the halfway point - is is still at the top...

RAHASIA-DIATI's solution was...

Another flag-related riddle. Rahasia-Diati depicts two keys, so this riddle described ways to describe aspects or motions of keys - when you get a new key, you have it "cut"... the grooves on a key are also known as "teeth"... and you would turn the keys to unlock something.

 

[theditz83]

So yeah - it's evident that some of these riddles barely made any sense to the people that wrote them, so you guys probably had no chance with some haha!

 

[Morty]

I understood that Keys was the right picture, at least.

Thanks for 3.

11 OUSSOU EMPIRE

Let's see if the second half of these results will see any clear favourites emerge?

OUSSOU EMPIRE's solution was...

And another flag-related riddle, this time for the image of the "shhh..." symbol on Oussou Empire's flag. You may not hear someone whispering if you are too far away, and of course a reason for you to whisper something may be to share a secret...

 

[Morty]

Thanks for 1, Oussou

12 LÅPØTRÉ

LÅPØTRÉ's solution was...

A sneaky red herring situation here - how many of you clicking on the potato to take you to the classic Alizée song "Moi... Lolita"? Of course, Lapotre provides all of the potatoes to the WL community, but that was not the correct solution here - instead, the "many eyes" related to the four "i"s in the name of the state of Mississippi. You're welcome...

Also, just saying, me still being the only nation to point Sween is...

 

[Morty]

I was wrong on that one, was convinced it was potato.

Thanks for 1.

 

[iowacorn]

You got me!!! That one is hilarious

13 REHI KAITA

REHI KAITA's solution was...

The troll relates to Mira's perfect troll posts - and where would you typically find a troll living? Under a bridge. iowa may be able to explain more but further explanation may not be needed haha...

 

[iowacorn]

Oh ummm Trolls make you answer a riddle to cross their bridge, right? In some story? and the rest is for poetic purposes!

 

[theditz83]

14 MORMADOREI

MORMADOREI's solution was...

A username riddle here... a riddle relating to the description of an attractive person who may be referred to as a "fox", and of course a description of the animal's tail which resembles a brush. Because Mormadorei = Marlfox

 

[theditz83]

15 NAUTHINIA VALLIS

This one is genius and I had to ask for 2 explanations to finally understand said genius...

NAUTHINIA VALLIS' solution was...

A picture of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy was given to relate to the roman numerals which form part of WOLVXCII's username. 9 in roman numerals is IX, which is "SIX" without the "S" - hence, "IX" or 9 is two-thirds of SIX... mind....... BLOWN!

OMG - still no runaway leader with only 1 point separating the top 4 - will it be one of them or someone waiting in the wings that takes the title??
