Cryptic Meaning ~ 15 SBD

in #delegation7 years ago

In a world full of snakes the population of rodents is in jeopardy. 


Rodents play a vital role in the ecosystem, without them there would be no carnivores.  


 Out of  over 5,000 species of mammals, roughly 2,000 are rodents. 


What one word describes all the images below?


1st person to guess the correct word wins.

DAY 3 CLUE: The word ends in Y

DAY 4 CLUE:

Day 5 Clue: The word is more than 8 letters but less than 14 letters

opportunity

Congratulations! We have a winner!

Congrats @rafpokmac! That would've been my next guess. Just kidding. I had no chance. :)

just keep trying. persistence and never give up. you surely be successful . and remember keep learning, keep growing

OMG you just have made my day(forgetting about btc panic FUD) this 2 last nights thinking . It was worth it,.. how can i express my gratitude?

Ding Ding Ding Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

It is I who thanks you. I was beginning to think I was not going to be able to award this prize. Today's clue would have been it starts with a vowel but from the perspectives of the past answer's I am not sure if anyone would have got it.

I would have thought the steemit clue was a dead give a way but I guess many don't view it as it was designed to be. I think a lot need to step back from all the drama we all get sucked into and look at the platform for what it is meant to be.

Thank you for playing, it was nice to award someone who saw what I saw the prize.

now all have sense. insight . it was i was watching it with my eyes all this time.how come i didn see it before.

Humanity

Good answer but not correct.

Steemit

Not correct but the first guess that encased all images under one idea.

Nothing

So with a clue like “ends in y” it could be almost anything! Pretty much any adverb ends in Y.

The words revolutionary, subversively, or radically almost fit, but not quite across all pictures. The word zombify also ends in Y and describes some corners of Steemit 🤪

Disparity

This word seems to fit the images. An open yet empty guitar case, the emaciated man, the extravagant rides, the outstretched hand, the yelling woman, the closed doors, anonymous, and the desert in between two sources of life.

I will also guess circle-of-lifeY and karmaY 😋

Great contest, I love riddles

Great guesses and great reasons for the guesses but these too are incorrect.

I wish I had made the word zombify now, lol.

Keep it in mind for the next time

Lol
"zombify" is my favourite guess so far

I hope it is “zombify”!

Choice to Choose

In every image you have a choice as to how you feel about it, if you see beauty or pain, giving or suffering. The choice is to be who you choose to be.

That's 3 words but an awesome guess. The answer is only one word.

HAHA technically very true.

Choice!

Don't feel bad, you're the 4th person to confuse yourself in my words, haha.

No, the word is not choice.

FAIL!

BOOOO!

I could read the rules but this may frustrate you a little more... How many times can we play?

As often as your ego will allow.

I'm a huge fan of failing my way forward so bring it on! BTW, I am hopeless at cryptic puzzles so I may give up lol...

Lets get...

Choose

Out of the way.

Had to start back here as even though there is no cliff face, without @ginabot I would not have known there was no cliff. Can't see that low in my comments lol...

Universal

Last guess!

Ohhhh, Now I find myself...

Searching

for new answers, I enlisted @shai-hulud's help :)

And now I think he's going to pip me at the post. lol...

His was pretty good, lol. Just not the word.

How about LOST

OR LOOSE

As in loose yourself in all those circumstances.

I'm certain that it is

uncertainty

and since I'm not really certain lets go with

oppertunity

I just saw this. I normally would have given the prize on a misspelling if I had seen it. This reply was to you and not to me so when I checked comments I missed it. I will make it up to you in the next week. Sorry.

Shit happens more annoyed with myself for not checking it was posted on your comment. Hindsight 20/20. In my head we won anyways as we guessed it before anyone else. 😁😁😁 told you I would lol!

Perspective

I might think the word you are referring to is perspective. I first came up with Illusion, then Mindset, but Perspective slipped through my mind as well. Because, no matter how you take a look at life, there is always someone with a different perspective on the same things. Some things might not seem to be what they are to you and the other, but most things are identified with emotion and own true intentions/believes. Emotion from situations you have experienced in the past. Emotions you can or can't relate to. And that is only because of how and why you take a look at things.

Seeing the corruption in the photographs, made me guess the word was an illusion. Seeing the guitar box and the homeless guy made me think it was the mindset. Checking out the picture with all the different doors and the last picture as well, made me think you have a choice. Well, of course, you have a choice, but a choice can only be given by yourself and if you decide to take it or not, and that depends on how you take a look at things and see things in your own perspective.

No matter where you look, it will always be the same. The only thing you can hope for is change.

The truth lies in the eyes of the beholder. Everyone holds their own truth, everybody is right, nor wrong unless they agree with being wrong. But all of these images resemble hope to make the world a better place in their own way.

The word is Faith or Hope.

I know the word is something else, I picked it!

Great thought out response. Sorry, not a winner winner so for you no chicken dinner.

Crap, I died.

Max-Pixel? (dies even more)

life kind needs in order to live nutrients.. the word is "hungry" that the reason .

No, you may try again as often as you like.

diversity

How does that go with the last photo?

It is not the correct answer, I am just wondering how you drew that conclusion.

how did you get that?

i still wonder

SURVIVAL

No, this is a much better response than choice was but not there yet.

The only other word I can think of right now is "desperation", but then the carnival rides and stained glass don't make sense to me.

Commons.

It might not be the answer your looking for but it is correct

I know there are a few words that do fit and I had not thought of this one. I picked a very specific word as it is a little easier to digest across the different languages of the platform

pandemonium

Explain the child's outstretched hand. I can sort of see it in the rest and an interesting choice.

hands are expressive and can be used to stir up wild roars in a crowd and chaos.

Argh! I have to know now. Is it:
insanity
cryptography
bankruptcy
solidity
commodity
difficulty
identity

No wait it’s # pizazzy!

I love the way your answers cover a wide range of perspectives!

They are all wrong, keep turning over stones till you find the right one.

Hmmm....

Confusion?

No sir.

Then it has to be corndog...

Wait...is it Choice?

You have the choice to choose again or eat a corndog, lol

wallaby I decided to look up rodents that end in Y and wallaby is the only rodent out of 2000.

LOL, no I used rodents as the numbers were easier to figure out than aquatic life forms.

poverty

No, I will give another clue tomorrow. My wife says the word makes perfect sense once she heard what it was but she thinks it is very hard to guess it.

Weary maybe that is just how I am feeling at the moment but that is what images say to me.

No, please try again.

I know what each of these photos have in common they are photography which is different than a photo...so Photography is my new answer.

Does the word begin with a consonant?

That is not a proper guess but I think that is a great day 6 clue!

Try again, lol

"uncertainty" .. i see the circle of life, an scream fading to survive, but life keeps going, keeps rolling.

And the rides picture?

"Life is like a ferris wheel...sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down." is the circle of life

I’m still chipping away at this one. My mind is closing in in the answer. I’m going to assume it’s not an adverb or otherwise modified word, just to keep the sheer number of guesses at a minimum.

All of these images, if linked by Steemit, could represent archetypes on this platform.

  1. outstretched hand = begging for votes/follows
  2. girl raising hand = self voting
  3. buzzard in the desert = life as a minnow
  4. spiral stained glass = the feeling you get from the bottom, staring up at what could be
  5. closed doors = life as a minnow
  6. anonymous = anonymity, maybe powerful faceless behind-the-scenes forces
  7. Ferris wheel = thrill of the ride or going in circles
  8. emaciated man = me at lunchtime
  9. abandoned empty guitar case = garbage, who left that there? Or maybe begging for upvoted

Guess # 1 perpetuity
This is how life on Steemit will always be, it’s all just part of the ride.

Guess # 2 temporary
Like a seat on that Ferris wheel, we all have our ups and downs. We were all there once and probably will be again later.

Guess # 3 zombify
Please 🤗

Guess # 4 infinity
Constancy, eternity, celerity, celebrity, fertility, bouncy?

That’s all I got for now 🧐

Thanks for playing! Another user has guessed the correct word.

"greedy", is the source . we abuse, we need to be prudent. we need to grow in comunity and not hurt each other.

No, I can understand your guess but it is incorrect.

Relation/ Reliability
All of the pictures are a result of a successful relationship, or rather one which resulted in pandemonium or suffering.
I'm probably wrong but oh well, gave it a resteem so hopefully my followers are more clever :/

No, sorry. They are all the same word.

i would say LIFE and/or EXISTENCE...resteeming, thank you for this @erodedthoughts !

Good choices but no, that is not the answer.

can i second guess please? I looked again and apparently and obviously, all pics seem to be about CHOICE and the infinity of possibilities...and the power of CHOICE as being poor is a choice made even if one didn't made it in a conscious way.

No, sorry, the word choice was already said to be wrong.

It is a damn fine guess but not correct.

ok:), thank you @erodedthoughts , i'm sure it's much more simple than i could think...i always think too deep and meaningful...

Conspiracy

Nope, nice try on the double guess in one post.

Yes, I edited the comment later because it wasn't fair. Are you going to post the answer later? (please! I'm curious)

Yes, I hope someone gives the answer but if not I will tell.
I was also messing with you on double comments in one post, lol

I know, but still I'm a big fan of yours so stop teasing me, ok? :D
I'll wait for the answer.

Contrast.

Hey contest enthusiasts, I have one right here:
https://steemit.com/contest/@zetetrahedron369/contest-and-raffle-whats-in-my-collection-precious-metals-edition-2-contest-and-raffle

Enter to win a piece of silver. Good luck!

Don't drop links on someone else's blog.

I participated in your contest and then posted a link to a contest I just posted today because I thought it would be relevant for other contest enthusiasts.

My apologies.

I have the top trending post in the delegation tab, drop the link in that one.

OMG thats hilarious (the contest itself and how it applies to our conversation.)

Thank you.

I bought you a vote, that is a nice looking round.

Aww thank you, made my day.

You know that it being flagged will make more people click it right? That is steemit life.

I'm thinking ... connectivity or solidarity

No, good guesses but not correct.

my last attempt :P ... "cryptocurrency" ... lol

mentality or fraternity ?

No, keep guessing.

commodity or fungibility or anonymity ?

No, good guess wrong perspective.

revolutionary or individuality.. steemit has those too

No, good guesses.

truth

No, what made you pick that word?

Fate

No, what image made you pick that word?

thats what came to my mind, just seemed like it worked with all the pics.

Nope, good guess. I can dig it.

Freedom

No, why was that your choice?

charity. to the poor from the people , because is needed

Wrong outlook but good guess.

crazy, .... survive is crazy, enjoy the ride while others are suffering is crazy, fight in steemit as well life is crazy

I as a single user do not see steemit as crazy, that only happens when you look too deep.

mm so monopoly or honorary

No, try again.

No solution yet?
Is it chain?

Ops, I didn't see the clue.
It has to be money then

No to either answer.

Oh no, I will keep thinking about this riddle till I'll get the answer

Community!

No. I am sorry.

It gives me the feeling that it's about the foodchain, but in a metaphorical sense. So I think it's about money and society, but I can't really get this one word.

You are correct. Steemit is the key. Unlock the lock.

anarchy

Interesting, what do you see my friend?

hardship , dis-pare , Choice , need change , lost that's kinda what I got out of the photo combination

Nope but I like your mind.

its not working to well did not figure this out yet lol

Illuminati.

That sounds like some Fortnite jargon, you ready? Just text me.

And NO, that was image 1 which does not go with the images, lol

THE ILLUMINATI CONTROLS EVERYTHING. THEY SEE ALL. THEY KNOW ALL. OBEY. CONSUME.

I'll shoot you a text here in a few when I'm done with the elder scrolls and we can jam for a bit.

That's not what the First Testament says, The Illuminati are about Peace ~ Abundance ~ Liberty

IMG_20180302_003946.jpg

The word is INEQUALITY

Do you see that in every image? Which doesn't fit with that word.

Looking at the nine images under consideration, the first one shows a guitar box dropped on the floor along the street to solicit arms from passerby. That is inequality

The second picture shows a world of hunger and and poverty whereas the third picture showcase affluence and fun. That's inequality.

The fourth picture still shows wealth while the fifth picture shows a hand that needs help. Still inequality.

The sixth picture depicts agitation while the seventh picture shows smile and calmness. inequality

The eight picture shows many doors of choice that can lead to either of the descriptions above.

My weird thought though.

Very nice to get to know you better. Why do you think picture 5 is a hand needing help?

Gosh, that's a hard question. However, with the open palms, I feel that's requesting for help. The blurry background image also shows a vast area, likely the owner of the hand may have tire out after a long walk.
Haha. Still my weird thought.

Focus

Explain the focus of the sleeping homeless man and rides. I get it with the rest of them.

The homeless guy is the focus of the photographer but not the focus of anyone else. The rides are both the focus of everyone around them and while you're on them you typically focus on the same point as not to barf. [test edit]

LOL, I love spinning rides and when people barf on them as it usually goes right back on them.

" Europe " final answer

LMAO, Nope

I would like to use a life line

Everyone is free to guess as often as they wish. 1st person correct wins.

minnows

No, we are not fishing today. Throw them back.

Later can you DM me .
would like to discuss something privetly LOL ( some words of wisdom )

Is the contest over .
If so what was the , word

I would have to go with the ” present”🤔it covers it all.

That makes sense but not the correct answer.
