Download this week's game here:

www.lighthousekeepers.com/games/NTFG22.exe

Once you have downloaded the game, just doubleclick on the exe file and start the STANDALONE VERSION. Remember, that solving the puzzle isn't by any means the end - you've got to use the completed puzzle as clues to figure which LH it is.
But of course, you can't win the game until you solve the jigsaw puzzle.

Right click on puzzle pieces to rotate them. Move them together and if you are right, they will stick together.

9 hours and no guesses?? Did everyone leave town?

Was out late celebrating!

I solved the puzzle yesterday at lunch. Just looking for the right light.

shirin

I'm still trying to figure out that clue.

Derith, Congratulations to you and yours!!!

Looks foreign to me!!! (LOL)

Time for a clue, George.

I solved the puzzle in record (for me) time thanks to the hint image.

And I got the letter clue.

I presume it's an anagram for?

-- the country?
-- the name of the lighthouse?
-- something else?

Ok, now that's 2 lunches spent looking for this light!


shirin

No more clues until Monday, as I'm determined to make it thru at least one weekend this year ! By the way, the next four don't get any easier !!!!

Oh, just FYI, there could be some GOOD prizes for the top scorers!!

St. John, you are indeed correct. It is an anagram!

WOW, a new record ! The puzzle made it thru Thurs, Fri, AND Saturday!!!

OK, I feel sorry for you here's a clue:

ORDEM E PROGRESSO

How about Farol da Barra (Barra's Lighthouse) in Brazil?

Diane, - I was just thinking about that light myself.

Here's another link - http://hometown.aol.com/pochetti7/Bahia-Brazil1.html

I just don't know. Seems like the number of stripes differ.

shirin

Yea, that was the one I thought of too. But the number of walkways at the top and the stripes don't match up.

So far, No Cigar !!

You'll know when you got it right as the anagram and stripes will fit!! (LOL)

[This message has been edited by pharologst (edited 12-02-2001).]

No cigar is not the half of it....No sleep, No Christmas shopping, No eating......but I do have blurry eyes....

Hope someone finds the identity soon!
Derith

Nice to finally see a light that challenges the group but at this rate, we'll still be trying to figure this out by the time #23 comes out!

Now that I've spent too much time today trying to figure out the light I must go make dinner.

Hope someone figures it out soon!

shirin

Well I thought I might have it being in a country that speaks Portuguese, Portugal or Brazil but I have exhausted the resources I could find, so I'm figuring I'm headed in the wrong direction.

The National Flag is yellow, blue, & green, with 28 white stars.

If you know the country email me and I will give you another photo!

Is there a lighthouse in the Land of Oz? Or maybe this one's on Mars?

Is it Abrolhos, Brazil?

In one of the webaddresses I found it says something about the Rio Doce lighthouse in Abrolhos....soooo I am not sure of the name of the light....with further reading I think the name is ABROLHOS...
I haven't found a photo to compare...but this name has all the letters of the anagram?

I had no idea Brazil had so many lighthouses.

I think you've got it Derith. Check the photo near the bottom here:

Congrats Derith, I just didn't have enough search power.

I'd like a Dutch Masters for finding this one. My grandfather smoked that brand cigars. Couldn't tell you if they are even being made today.

Never did find a photo, just a list with lights in Brazil and then info to get into the port at Abrolhos which was interesting reading to me. Wonder where George found the photo?

We have to locate a good website so we can use more of these Brazil lights in our International Lighthouse Game.

Congratulations Derith!

George, are you going to let us know where you found the picture for the puzzle?

------------------
Tom & Joyce

If I name my specific sources then the game becomes WAY too easy!! Let's just say that I have the same internet that you do, and a number of other resources most of which are widely available.

I REALLY WOULD like others to contribute to the puzzle pics as well.
