Puzzle Hunt topic

[Palaeontology]

Hi all, new to Lemmings, but saw your chat on the Cisra Puzzles.

I've already got 3 of the 5 answers correct, and am still working on "Connecting Nodes" and "Animal Halves".

Anyone prepared to steer me in the right direction (or even give the answer) to either of those remaining two?

Am happy to trade notes on the three I've solved.

Fellow Lemming,

Palaeo.

Fellow Lemming,

I'd love to have you on the team... seems you've already started on this, though, and we've actually gotten the Gold Rubix Cube on the day they were released. I'm mildly worried about the team getting DQed since you already signed up.

Now, if you want to join us and not use your current account, or join us for future contests, We'd love to have you.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" />

Hi again,

not sure what you meant by "Golden Rubix Cube".

Yeah, I'm already teamed up with a couple of others for the Cisra puzzles, but have never read the rules  ...  are we not allowed to share ideas and thoughts (or answers) ...  is that what you meant by disqualification ?

Kind regards,

Chris

ok, got all 5 now ....  strangely, the Connected Nodes puzzle (Category Easy) was the one that took the longest.

Probably looking too deeply for something more involved.

Good luck to you all,

Chris

I still don't know what you meant by the Golden Rubix Cube.

Ha, CiSRA is really good at misrating their puzzles. The one that ruins perfect scores every year (including last) is pretty much always rated "Medium."

Also, nice work getting them -- you should totally join us once SUMS or MUMS or any other puzzle hunts you or us find out about roll around  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" />

We got all but D yesterday, today we've gotten A, B, and D (first thanks to geoo) so far, making headway on C, and pretty much doing what everyone else is at E  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/undecided.gif" alt=":-\" title="Undecided" class="smiley" />

On an unrelated note, every two weeks during the term there's a trivia quiz taking place here, and this term they included a puzzle each time. Here's the one from two weeks ago, which only one team solved. (And and this one doesn't involve much typing for me. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />)

Title: National Pride

A drawback prize (5)
Excessively wild Macedonia screwed without love (http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" />
Straight fifty in sound receiver  (6)
Stick around marine (6)
Avoidance of stupid visa in a long period of time (7)

I know this was posted almost a year ago, but I looked back at it now and solved it http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />

Add one letter to each cryptic answer to form a country name:

AWARD + N = RWANDA
MAENADIC + O = MACEDONIA [slightly :\ that the country name is in the clue]
LINEAR + D = IRELAND
REMAIN + A = ARMENIA
EVASION + L = SLOVENIA

Added letters spell 'nodal' which is one letter off POLAND.
