Sorry, don't recall but another clue: He is handling a pretty awesome piece of equipment in the picture....hence the grin I suspect.

Dick Van Dyke?

Is he a member of this community?

[Aktungbby]

Sorry, don't recall but another clue: He is handling a pretty awesome piece of equipment in the picture....hence the grin I suspect.

[Reece]

Who resurrected this old thread :hmmm: . . . Eichhörnchen!!:doh:

[Eichhörnchen]

I used to enjoy this thread... sometimes I got to post pictures of Dick Van Dyke and cheese

[Catfish]

I wonder what is more exciting, waiting for Jim B. to solve this year old puzzle so we can finally get on with more interesting things here, or the fall or landslide of this special norwegian mountain which name i forgot.


So after all those hints i guess it is Mickeymouse in Vietnam, pointing a gun at Jane Fonda. :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

Did I guess wrong again?

[Jimbuna]

mookiemookie?

Did I guess wrong again?

Afraid so old chap, below is a picture of mookiemookie (Mark), Rebel (George) and his wife taking advice from some strange kind of guy on how to drink three bottles of beer at the same time.

[Dowly]

[Buddahaid]

Not me, I'm far more dashing and handsome.....

[Jimbuna]

An hour more tops and final final clue, his name on SubSim is a two-worded German name and @ Dowly, he is someone you have experienced MP on the GW TS server in the past with.

[u crank]

Although he hasn't been around in a while I seem to recall he was from Virginia.

[Catfish]

It is a roman arch :smug:

[Dowly]

IS IT IN PARIS ALONG THE SEINE?Nope.

It is a roman arch :smug:
Yes.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it in a Roman fort?

[Dowly]

Is it in a Roman fort?
It is not.

[Dowly]

Anyone?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it in Rome?

[Aktungbby]

iS IT A BRIDGE OR AN AQUEDUCT?

[Dowly]

Is it in Rome?
Yes.

iS IT A BRIDGE OR AN AQUEDUCT?
It is a bridge.

[Eichhörnchen]

The oldest bridge in Rome (the Pons Fabricius)

[Dowly]

The oldest bridge in Rome (the Pons Fabricius)
Correct. The oldest Roman built bridge still in use in Rome (built in 62BC).
https://i.imgur.com/ZPJry0x.jpg

[Jimbuna]

I was searching triumphal arches :doh:

[Eichhörnchen]

[Aktungbby]

The oldest bridge in Rome (the Pons Fabricius)
'PON MY WORD, I THINK YOU'VE GOT IT. I HAD NOTED THE BRICK AROND THE ARCHES AND ASSUMED A BRIDGE AS THE EMBANKING WALLS OF A RIVER (SEEN THRU THE ARCH) WERE EVIDENT BUT THOUGHT IT WAS THE SEINE....

[Catfish]

https://i.imgur.com/DSyfrOU.jpg What is this?

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, buddy

[Aktungbby]

wife's knittimg?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, mate

[u crank]

No idea Mate. Can we have a clue? :D

[Catfish]

Is it historical, like this Bayeux tapestry?

[Eichhörnchen]

No idea Mate. Can we have a clue? :D

The answer lies in Whac-a-Squirrel

@ Catfish... not historical, more traditional

[Catfish]

In post # 1705?

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=1705

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/aWWlHU2.jpg Yes indeed... found in post #1705 of the other thread, well spotted Catfish

[Catfish]

Ok.. where or aboard what, has this photo been taken?
Or, if you know, what is it?

https://i.imgur.com/9VAYISHl.jpg

[u crank]

Obvious question. :D

Is it a submarine?

[Catfish]

Uh, yes.
Next you'll want to know which country, and the name :D

[u crank]

Uh, yes.
Next you'll want to know which country, and the name :D

Well if you would be so kind......:O:

[Jimbuna]

I can't see any image :hmmm:

[u crank]

Yes, strange. I could see it but now I can't.

[Jimbuna]

Wilhelm Bauer?

[Catfish]

Not the former U 2540 »W. Bauer«..

[Jimbuna]

German?

[Catfish]

No.

[Jimbuna]

American?

[Catfish]

Not american.
Hint:

https://i.imgur.com/CgF3kgPl.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

French?

[Catfish]

French?

Avec l'orge, et du sucre?
Non :O:

I guess barley sugar is a type of chrystal, especially used in certain beverages which might be consumed hot, and are usually and stereotypically linked to a certain country. It is called 'Kandis Zucker', in Germany.

[Aktungbby]

BRITISH NON-NUCLEAR?'

[Catfish]

First, yes, second what exactly do you mean with that? :03:

[Aktungbby]

DIESEL-ELECTRIC DRIVEN?; NO REFERENCE TO MISSILE ARMAMENTS. FURNITURE LOOKS 2 B '60-ISH

[Catfish]

Yes, british and Diesel-electric.
Now I am not sure of nuclear armament, though this was mentioned on an information table. I did not find evidence on the web yet.

[Jimbuna]

HMS Alliance?

[Catfish]

^ No, but you are getting closer :)

[Jimbuna]

If that is an old photo it could be HMS Oberon.

[Aktungbby]

OBERON WAS SCRAPPED 1945; HMS OCELOT ALSO OF THE OBERON CLASS?

[Jimbuna]

OBERON WAS SCRAPPED 1945; HMS OCELOT ALSO OF THE OBERON CLASS?

HMS Oberon (s09)

Name: Oberon
Namesake: Oberon - King of Shadows
Builder: Chatham Dockyard, England
Laid down: 28 November 1957
Launched: 18 July 1959
Commissioned: 24 February 1961
Decommissioned: 1986
Status: Scrapped Grimsby, 1991

[Catfish]

It is one of the english Oberon class boats, yes.
It is not an old photo, indeed it was taken in may 2018.
It is not the HMS "Oberon"...

[Aktungbby]

^ WOOPS! WRONG OBERON:oops: I TAKE IT'S NOT HMS OCELOT EITHER?

[Catfish]

^ No.
I can tell as much as the name begins with an O though.. :D

[Eichhörnchen]

The OTUS? I say that because it's preserved in Germany... all the other British ones, except for the Ocelot (mentioned by Aktung) have apparently gone for scrap.

[Aktungbby]

HMS OTUS!!:k_confused: THAT'LL RÜGEN MEIN SAßNITZ ANY DAY! :O:

[Catfish]

Yes, it is H.M.S. »Otus« :up:

Which is why i posted the 'hint' with Nina's "Farbfilm" song, she begins with "...Hiddensee", which is an island near Ruegen.
The little owl is moored in the harbour of Sassnitz, as a museum ship. Strange to see she had a fibreglass upper deck, crudely fastened to the underlaying hull.
Will post a link to all the photos at the appropriate subforum, if Imgur ever accepts adding pictures to an album :wah:

Over to you!

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/4ta4cze.jpg What is this?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Eisenwurst]

An abstract Elephant.

[Buddahaid]

A cubist squirrel.

[Catfish]

https://i.imgur.com/4ta4cze.jpg What is this?


It is orange.

I won. :smug:

[Eichhörnchen]

None of the above and it is yellow in colour... it just looks orange because this is a small bit of it

A clue: there two of them and they are associated with a famous name. You need to give me that name to win

[Catfish]

You mean like "this man is world-famous, in England". :haha:


Not the Ferrari logo. Hmm.
DHL Letterbox ?

Really, this could be anything.

[Eichhörnchen]

You remember how to play this... baby-steps. You already got that it's a man we're looking for, and a car

[Catfish]

Pffff Portia, umm 'Ferry' Porsche logo?

[Eichhörnchen]

:haha: No. You need to find the name of the personality to get the answer to "what is this?"

[u crank]

Is the personality an Englishman?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, mate

[Dowly]

Is the car sentient?

[Catfish]

oh please not this transformer crap :nope:

[Jimbuna]

:haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

No and no

Are you at work again, Catfish? We're on a 'Bank Holiday' here today... it's a day off from work that most people get. A bit like The Führer's birthday over there

[Catfish]

^ oh, no we have to 'work' today. :03:

The banks wanted to have holidays all the time, which is why they went to London. Here, holiday of course is at Fuehrer's birthday, march 20th.
But, since you mentioned the war, it isn't a black swastika on yellow background? :hmmm:












:O:

[Eichhörnchen]

No it's not

[Aktungbby]

^ oh, no we have to 'work' today. :03:

Here, holiday of course is at Fuehrer's birthday, march 20th.:O:
APRIL 20!:arrgh!:

[Catfish]

Shhhh E. didn't see it :D
But you are right, of course :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

I spotted it immediately (it's the same date as my mother's birthday) but I didn't wish to hurt your feelings :)

[Aktungbby]

Shhhh E. didn't see it :D
But you are right, of course :salute:

I'M ALWAYS REICH OF COURSE:O: https://media2.giphy.com/media/Kqo7WgBaRxy0M/giphy.gif

[Jimbuna]

You remember how to play this... baby-steps. You already got that it's a man we're looking for, and a car

Time for a further clue perhaps?

[Eichhörnchen]

American

[Catfish]

An american racing driver?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Dowly]

Something from TV or a movie?

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, from TV and movie

[Eisenwurst]

Which decade? 1970s???

[Eichhörnchen]

Primarily 1970s with 2 or 3 TV movies later on

[Catfish]

Pfff... Thunderbirds?

[Jimbuna]

Steve McQueen?

[Eisenwurst]

This is harder than Chinese Algebra.

[Eichhörnchen]

No none of these are right, and it's a fictitious personality owns this... but probably 'character' is a better word than personality, as that perhaps means a real person

[Aktungbby]

IS IT AN EARLY X MAN?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope... very well-known show

[Jimbuna]

So are we looking for a fictitious character who drove an orange coloured car in a supposedly well known tv show?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, you're looking for the yellow-coloured thing that has to do with the car that's driven by the fictitious character in a 70s show :)

[Jimbuna]

Nope, totally fluxed :doh:

[Catfish]

Not the Aston Martin from Roger Moore and Tony Curtis?
The persuaders?

[Jimbuna]

Not the Aston Martin from Roger Moore and Tony Curtis?
The persuaders?

https://i.imgur.com/7rNzG0o.jpg :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Great try, buddy but no... not from that show.

Clue: the car was not intentionally featured as a 'star' itself in the show (not like the Bond cars or Night Rider cars were) although it was prominent enough to have toys made of it. If you get the car then you'll see what it is I'm after

[Catfish]

It was not a Renault 5?

Must be an english series, a lot of those never made it across the border.. :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Not a Renault 5 and not an English series

[Eichhörnchen]

To get what it is you need to get the car, and to get the car you need to get who drove it... it's just detective work

[Eisenwurst]

So he's not the Old Bill. A Gumshoe perhaps???

[Aktungbby]

IS IT A VINTAGE STYLE CAR AND IS A CHARACTER A 'BIT OF A DICK'?

[Eichhörnchen]

The car would be classed as 'classic' rather than veteran or vintage.

If by bit of a dick you mean the owner is a fool, then most certainly the answer is no

@ eisenwurst... if by the Old Bill you mean the uniformed British police then no, and if by Gumshoe you mean a private detective, then no to that as well

[Jimbuna]

Warren Beatty?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope

[Jimbuna]

It's surely not the Batmobile?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope, not the Batmobile

[Jimbuna]

I appreciate you may feel you have given plenty of clues but I doubt we are going to progress any further without something more 'substantial/revealing'.

[Eichhörnchen]

Well there are always lots of clues in the shows...

[Jimbuna]

Well if its a cop series I'd be thinking the picture is one of the two vehicle number plates from the car driven by Telly Savalas in Kojak.

One helluva lucky guess was that. Took me ages to turn my thoughts away from an orange or yellow coloured car.

Looking for something now.

[Jimbuna]

https://i.imgur.com/5qOVmLJ.jpg

What is the above attached to or a part of.

[Catfish]

A gorgon head?

[Jimbuna]

I'll take your word for it that is what it is, I'm not sure myself but what is it attached to or a part of?

[u crank]

Is this thing on a building?

[Jimbuna]

Not on a building.

[Aktungbby]

WOOD OR METAL?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it on a monument?

[Jimbuna]

WOOD OR METAL?

Metal

[Jimbuna]

Is it on a monument?

Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it an ancient thing or modern?

[Jimbuna]

Relatively modern, it looks like it is up to twenty years old at most.

[u crank]

Is this thing located in England?

[Jimbuna]

Is this thing located in England?

To the best of my knowledge and belief it is located in the US.

[Catfish]

An image of Trump wearing another toupet, chiselled in stone at the Trump tower.

[Eichhörnchen]

Does it have a Science-Fiction origin?

[Jimbuna]

An image of Trump wearing another toupet, chiselled in stone at the Trump tower.

If that were it I'd hardly think it worthy of posting :03:

[Jimbuna]

Does it have a Science-Fiction origin?

Not too sure but a further clue is that it is part of a celebration.

[Aktungbby]

MEDUSA?

[Eichhörnchen]

In South America?

[Jimbuna]

MEDUSA?

Not too sure what it is but the question is...What is the above attached to or a part of.

[Jimbuna]

In South America?

North America and involved in an annual celebration.

I believe it is considered to be 'art' by some people but definitely not my cup of tea.

[Eichhörnchen]

At the Mardi Gras?

[Jimbuna]

At the Mardi Gras?

Nope.

[Catfish]

Burning Man?

[Jimbuna]

Burning Man?

I've no idea what it is but simply ask, what is it attached to?

First guess was a building.

It is on or attached to something we probably all see many times each day.

[Dowly]

Is it attached to a car?

[Jimbuna]

Is it attached to a car?

Yep, simple as that....attached to a car :)

I knew it was going to be easy, but not that easy. Correct you are, it is the Suomelinna fortress.

Sometimes the easy ones are the best and people don't lose patience.

I'll look for something a little trickier tomorrow.

[Eichhörnchen]

Edit: Oh bugger...

[Dowly]

Sometimes the easy ones are the best and people don't lose patience.At times yes, though I prefer the harder ones that really require one to channel his/her inner Sherlock Holmes like the err... the tower of Colditz (IIRC). I must've gone over hundreds of photos of towers that looked similar before someone finally guessed it right. :)


Fun game. :up:


@Eichhörnchen: Geez, it really was that easy? What gave it away?

[Eichhörnchen]

I just Googled passport control signs... if you'd cropped to the right of the sign I would have been in trouble

[Dowly]

Ah, makes sense. Shouldn't probably have any written text in the images. :O:


Oh well, I got a great idea for my next one. It'll be great! :har:

[Jimbuna]

Ah, makes sense. Shouldn't probably have any written text in the images. :O:


Oh well, I got a great idea for my next one. It'll be great! :har:

Nope.
