Spectre RAM, he's correct in that a "wall hanging" doesn't make sense. I was very confused until I realized you were talking about the copy of the Hippocratic oath.

Fixed that for you.
I only posted a link to a dictionary to make it easier for Retro to look it up (and because I looked it up as well).

Make a bishop and a queen tile by baking that tar from the kitchen?

Weird, just more evidence that the english language is splitting up into multiple languages...

Look at the other side of the tiles.

Ah whoops thank you for the correction. Yes, that's where I went astray. Your post confused me; I just assumed it was you. Har.

I don't think that'll happen what with the internet and all.

Sorry, I don't have time for a regular update today-- though there wouldn't be much if I did have time. Just a quick few answers.

Look at the other side of the tiles.

The other sides are all completely blank, in contrast to the protrusions on the frontsides.

You could certainly bake the black clay, but you wouldn't be able to properly shape the tiles into square shapes, nor would you be able to create the proper protrusions. You also don't have any moldable white clay around! But if you could produce some, and then find some way to shape the clay into squares, and then figure out how to make the protrusions... It's a step in the right direction.

We could make squares (and protrusions) by copying the tiles we have using the gel-like stuff in the box with the handle in the kitchen. But we still need white clay...

And it's not like we have alot to work with...
Without our bag and all...

How does a mechanism differ by color?

Try to converse with the imonster.

[Spectre]

Take something white-ish and stuff it in the analyzer so it gets mushed. See if it gives white mush. Repeat until recieving the desired result. Make white tiles.

well we have a anvil and a furnace room, which means there has the be materials around that we can use to metal smith items.

maybe we can just put the chess pieces themselves into the slots? 

maybe the tiles we do have represent extra chess pieces removed from the board? so the puzzle actually has 10peices in it but only 4of them have a specific location in the slots? (the four we have?)

I'm not sure how a person could see a chess board with 6peices on it and go, my gosh there are 4missing and guess where they go.... but maybe the 4other pieces do indeed lead to a checkmate OR a stalemate... in fact a stalemate might be unique enough that there is only one possible combination? (check mates can occur in a large number of ways?)


we can always make a few dozen guesses if anyone knows enough about chess to draw up the guesses themselves specifically

Sounds like a good idea.

[Evergod41]

except for I have no idea which way the peices are facing... is black facing down or up?

[Retro]

Sorry all, a massive hurricane came through Halifax yesterday and power just got restored half an hour ago. There's a lot of housework to do (garbage and leaves all over the lawn, everything in both our fridges is bad, etc) so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back to this, but I haven't forgotten about you guys

[eclipsetail]

Good to know you're fine.
