Sciencegal's Riddle Thread

[sciencegal]

Hello, and welcome to my puzzle thread. I decided to make this after enjoying so many great threads in the past. These puzzles will be a sort of cross between a riddle and a crossword puzzle, so you won’t need any sort of extensive knowledge in any particular subject. But it might help to do a bit of research if you get stuck

The rules are based on PacifierGirl's Puzzling Escape Thread. Anyone wishing to play may do so by posting a rule they must follow until the completion of a certain number of puzzles (you decide the rule and the number of puzzles you would like to lock in for). Choose any rule you like to fit your current situation/kinks. Make it as difficult or easy as you want.

For example, “I lock in for 3 puzzles. While locked, I will not masturbate”
or, "I will join for 1 puzzle and I will spank myself 20 times a day until the puzzle is solved."

I think it's more fun to solve these as a group, but you are free to try it individually if you like. Only 1 person needs to answer the puzzle correctly for it to count. Once a puzzle is completed correctly, everyone will reduce their time locked in by 1.

If at any time you decide that you need a hint for a particular clue, you may ask for one. However, if you would like me to provide a clue, someone must volunteer to add an additional rule to their list for the remainder of their time locked in. I will only provide 1 clue by this means once a day. After all, there are no free lunches. If I am feeling generous and you seem genuinely stuck, I may decide to provide 1 additional clue each day.


If after 5 days the puzzle remains unsolved, I will solve it for you. This will not reduce your time locked in though. You will still remain locked in for the same number of puzzles that you started that one with.


Have fun, and if you have any suggestions for improvement, feel free to send them my way!

Puzzle 1: I was an inspiration for a famous titular movie character. Who am I?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I will provide you with clues that will lead you to the titular character. Additionally, I will provide 3 separate clues that will lead you to the inspiration of that character. Sounds fun, right?

Each clue will be a link to an image. From this image your job is to fill in the blanks. Some clues are easier than others, and some will be a combination of 2 words. All 6 numbered clues will lead you to the title character of the movie, and clues A – C will lead you to the inspiration.

I lock in for 1 puzzle. While locked I will not wear underwear

[sammyy2qt]

Locked in for 5 puzzles, while locked in I'll do 10 minutes of corner time everyday.

[SeaFlower]

I lock in for 2 puzzles.

While locked in I can have only ruined orgasms.

[nina@]

I lock myself for 1 puzzle and will use my vibe every night for 30 minutes before sleeping till this one is solved

[nina@]

ok, since sciencegal mentioned we can do it collectively

some first guesses
2) THIRD for third dimension z axis / POINT ??? idk
3) is BLANK
4) programming language blueJ??
6) looks like nokia 3310?? did a reverse search for the fish - it is Moray Eel of phylum chordata

[MarvHarvey]

For #6 I don't know about the phone part, but the eel has put the word "shock" or something similar in my mind since I first saw it.

It may also be making some reference to somehting of the correct Genus of the A-B-C clues.

AND not sure if it helps someone but:
The 2 main actors/characters in POINT BREAK (2 versions) were:
1991
Patrick Swayze Bodhi
Keanu Reeves Johnny Utah

2015
Edgar Ramírez ... Bodhi
Luke Bracey ... Utah

[sciencegal]

I stepped out to dinner and come back to tons of progress

If you would like to compile your answers into a concise list for each number and letter, I will tell you how many you have correct if you so desire. I will only consider 1 list, so think it over and discuss it and let me know.

[MarvHarvey]

I will join for one puzzle.
I will wear only thongs for underwear until we solve it.

[PacifierGirl2]

I'll lock myself in for five puzzles with fifty spanks every morning.

I think the first picture is masquerade. Mask - ER and I don't know what the last picture is but it fits, right?

1: masquerade

2: point?

3: blank

4:

5:

6: ???

A: deep sea

B: amphipod

C: genus

[nina@]

bluej is not 4 letters...

[PacifierGirl2]

Pretty big breakthrough, I think. I found this article:

https://www.livescience.com/18287-su...-deep-sea.html

which refers to a deep sea amphipod called Alicella gigantea.

So Alicella may be the genus that gives us a clue.

Reverse image searching #5 has led me to this page: http://www.alexanderwild.com/Insects...ungi/i-MKH9vLD

unilateralis is the only 12 letter word I can find that's half-relevant as I'm pretty sure the arrow is pointing at the fungus. (Hope this isn't considered cheating, I always considered anything as fair game in my thread but I understand if you see it differently, sciencegal)

[gorgeouswhore]

It may make a full sentence or expression, for instance if "point blank" is right next to each other, that's a phrase.
