I agree with carol - I think that should be lying down on the job I didn't get #6. Thanks for doing this Jasdip - added it to my routine of trying to keep my brain working. My mom has severe dementia and I really don't want that in my future.

I think my brain took one look at all those shapes and said 'UH uh, nope, no way. not doing geography.' So I argued with it off and on all day, and ended up doing a little better than I thought I would, I did get everything but 2, 6, 7, 8, and 10 right. I knew #2 was Tennessee, but couldn't come up with anything for it, never heard of Tennessee Tuxedo. Finally figured out the blue thing in #6 was Turkey, but was hung on it being a country, so tried to make the yellow stuff be something connected to that. Didn't recognise the shape of Georgia, was stuck on chocolate for #7. Was sure #8 was 'CHiPS', never heard of California split. I thought #10 was Virginia. Yes, I am REALLY bad at geography! And I got #12 thanks to Lars' comment. I shut down the computer right after my last post last night so I missed all those last hints, I like to think I could have gotten #6 if I'd seen them. This was really an intersting learning experience, and fun, too. Now that I have a little better idea how they work, hopefully I can do better next time. I think I like the 'old' type puzzle we've been doing better, but this is more of a challenge, and challenges can be fun. Whatever kind of puzzle you want to post, Jasdip, is fine with me. Rusty

Yeah, ok, I WAS going to feel badly objecting to whatever the answer ended up being, because I hate to be a sore loser, but COME ON!!!!!!! Just…..no. The answer is countdown, period. I hereby declare all regular Brainiacs correct, and the Puzzle Maker incorrect. (Thanks, Jasdip - still fun, even when they try to throw us for a loop!)
