Yes, Hlaoroo, you're right! Congratulations!

Have fun searching for a new event or person or whatever.

This game looks like fun. I wanna play!

Post by **Render** » Sat Dec 06, 2014 11:21 am

Try to solve what Hlaoroo will post.

Will it involve kangaroos?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 5:02 am

That's for you to decide.

What happened today, December 7th, relating to this picture?

I hope this won't be too obscure...

Post by **ArcWolf** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 9:01 am

Death of Rube Goldberg on 7th of December 1970.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 6:18 pm

Well done, ArcWolf. That is quite correct!

Do you guys know who Goldberg was?

Post by **ArcWolf** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 6:30 pm

Other than the guy who made those niftly little machines that made one event activate another?

No. Not really.

December 8th!

Here is your clue!

Have at it!

Dec. 9th, have fun with this one

It's a bit of a stretch, but think creatively here~

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 7:52 pm

A Charlie Brown Christmas first ran on December 9, 1965 on CBS!

Post by **Render** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 7:53 pm

1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas made it's debut.

Sorry Render, Hlaoroo beat you to it.

Just out of curiosity, did you guys just google "Peanuts" and "December 9th"?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:02 pm

Wikipedia actually. My first thought was elephant.

But then I opened the wikipedia page for the peanuts comic and did ctrl+f for December 9.
I dunno what Render did though.

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:05 pm

Yeah, This was soooo close, Hlaoroo just baaarely got it, probably that picture that did you in Render =P. Fun facts, the original showing was 7:30 pm, and, since Coca-cola was a big sponsor of the movie, The original had a ton of references to the fizzy drink~ Most if not all now removed in the versions you see today.

Same here, scanned the German page for the 9th first and then the English one. But I hadn't really hoped for a hit there because usually the German page contains much more information. In this case I was wrong.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:14 pm

Since it's December 10 here, today's WT relates to December 10.

You may need to think a couple of steps beyond, or should I say, before, this picture. And yes, that's a hint.

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:19 pm

Heh, This was easy~ December 10 : Swedish scientist and inventor of dynamite Alfred Nobel died on December 10th in 1896.

Post by **Render** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 8:26 pm

On December 10th 1901 the Nobel Prizes have been awarded the first time.

Sorry, that's not it. You're on the right track though.

Render wrote:On December 10th 1901 the Nobel Prizes have been awarded the first time.

Correct!

Well done! I don't think we've ever had so many WTs solved so fast before.

True.

Here is my next thing, something happened today, 10th December.

Have a picture:

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 9:42 pm

On December 10, 1868, the first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. They resembles train signals and glowed with red and green light at night.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 9:49 pm

I was thrown off by the picture being centered on the stop sign.

Congratulations! That's right! Your turn again.

Can you imagine that this was the plan?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 6:08 am

Okay. What happened today, December 11, relating to this image?

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 4:38 pm

The statue's face appears on the official logo for Apollo 17.

Apollo 17 is NASA's most recent, and therefore currently final, mission to the moon.

The Apollo 17 lunar module landed on The Moon's surface on December 11, 1972, 19:54:57 UTC.

Bam.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 2:15 am

Well done, Thom! Brilliant work! That's quite correct!

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 12:07 pm

Okay. I got a good one and HOPEFULLY the link I've chosen might be a bit too obscure to get right away.

What happened today, December 12th, related to this image? ;

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 7:02 pm

Hm.... I feel like I have a direction to go in, but I'm really not finding anything here =P

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 11:46 am

Okay first bonus clue...(hopefully this'll help ya, Noston);
I'll be very surprised if nobody gets it with this clue. From where I sit, the connection is so obvious you can see it from space
"The Best Is Yet To Come"

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 6:43 pm

On December 12, Frank Sinatra's son (Frank Sinatra Jr.) was returned after being kidnapped on December 8th? It's a bit of a stretch but maybe...

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 9:23 am

Oooooooooooh, You know what? That's so close to what I was looking for that I'm gonna give it to you.

What I was looking for was the fact that Frank Sinatra himself was born on December 12th 1915.

The clues were, Frank Sinatra inspired the name of Scooby Doo with his signature "Scoo-Be-Do-Be-Do"

And one of his greatest hits was a song called "The Best Is Yet To Come"

That's an interesting fact that you found though. What a birthday present to have, his missing son returned to him!

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:35 pm

Ah, cool! I noticed it was Frank Sinatra's birthday, but didn't see how that was related to scooby doo, But now I know! I think I'll hold on my post for a bit, I think I found a really good one that's coming up

Post by **Render** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 8:49 pm

Nostson wrote:Ah, cool! I noticed it was Frank Sinatra's birthday, but didn't see how that was related to scooby doo

How did it relate to his son then?

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 11:08 pm

Kidnapping? I dunno, the mystery element to it I guess

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:36 pm

ANYWAYS! Today's event is kinda close to me, not on a touchy-feely level, but in direct location. (big hint to anybody that knows me).
Here's the pic I choose, it should be a bit of a toughy

!~

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 3:50 pm

Hmmm, those look suspiciously like printing press plates.
So I'm guessing it's something to do with the printing press...let's see what Google can sniff up...

...hmmmm...can't really find anything at the moment that specifically states December 16th. :/ Am I on the right track?

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 4:25 pm

All I'll say for now is that those are NOT printing press plates, I'll give a bigger hint later...

Nostson · Post by **Nostson** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:41 pm

Okay, HINT TIME!

It's another picture, see where it gets ya

PS: That pic came out kinda small... Hope you can still read it though! It's a bit of a giveaway but ah well x3
