I can't remember if I posted this here before or not, but I really hope I haven't. I came across this puzzle I made while going through some stuff on my computer. No hints for this, and if I haven't posted it here yet, I don't think anyone will get it.
And this puzzle does require both an answer and an explanation of how you got your answer. Here goes: |

I am 99% sure you have posted this before. I remember looking at it and going "What?", and then it took like 6 pages until someone figured it out. | |||

Man, I have no idea what this is. I've been racking my brains for a while now, too. =( | |||

I read through that an basically got this:
It says that every queen knows that four rebellious people quickly become seven, then seventy, however when divided these rebels often just return to their old, nonrebellious ways. Two rebellions however, gained the attention of Queen Loenore, who was propted to come up with the phrase, "Rebellion equals treachery and degrades what Generals feel most; Allegiance." |

If you replaced "equals" with "is" it would make more sense.
Though, you might have something there, Sukasa. |

I remember this one. I should probably not say anything so I don't incur the wrath of NSNick, though. | |||

Yeah, it's been brought to my attention that I did indeed post this before. So if you remember it, try not to ruin the answer. But hints might be good...
Also, I guess I'll sticky this, because I think it might be a while before someone gets it again. |

It only took a few days for the answer to be found out last time, right?
But then, Jagori was participating then. 9.9 HINT HINT HINT::: This puzzle has a title ... very important. (edited by Teddylot on 09-08-06 12:03 AM) |

Yup. The title is the most important clue in the whole puzzle. | |||

Every 'e' sound is used except the 'e' in elimination? | |||

The answer is excessively simple. You're all overthinking it.
I love this riddle, Nick is awesome for coming up with it. |

I have no idea what's this about, but anyway, some things to notice:
The E, on Elimination on the tittle, has another E (grey) as a shadow, making the tittle have 2 E's. Most of the words in the puzzle have 2 Es on them (Queen, Seven, etc.) The words of every line of the puzzle go like this: 1, 8, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 4. The puzzle had 89 Es on it (90 if you count the shadow E) It has 43 words that have 2 E's in them. So, I don't know, but the tittle could be E Elimination, though eliminating the E's cause no sense words to appear, maybe this is something. Or it's a red herring, or I'm overthinking it (edited by Uly on 09-13-06 03:54 AM) |

Got it
Spoiler:
You have to remove all the words which contain 2 e's in it, including Elimination. I guess what Uly said was correct, with the "E Elimination". Or, Elimination had only one E so there had to be a second one. What comes out, is "Four divided by two equals what", which is the question to this riddle, so the answer is 'two'. I just got it with Uly's help (edited by Ramon on 09-13-06 01:02 PM) (edited by Ramon on 09-13-06 01:02 PM) (edited by Ramon on 09-13-06 03:56 PM) |

Well then *asplodes*
So, do you have an official explanation of the Puzzle? (or background info about how you thought about it, or something? I WANT MORE XD) |
