Quoted from khamanna Does this mean that this crime mystery should NOT happen at the South Australian seas?

I think Not.  

I'm a right-brain type of person - graphs and numbered sequences and codes etc., I'm up the creek without a paddle.

Visuals or movie clues, or words are more like it for me.
Having run OWCs myself however, I know how hard it is to give clues but not give the game away.

Yup. It sure isn't easy. Lol

Looking forward to the reveal.

Did you solve it Libby?

Nah, I still know nothing, Kham.

The first clue gives an idea, but that came from Chris's deduction..: Actions speak louder than words, maybe... but the rest I'm stumped with.

Clues are interlinked.

Love seeing people getting confused. Makes my day.  

This is all an engineering mind at work.

3 variables are required for all who enter. 2 remain static, consistent, same for everyone. The 3rd variable is… indicative of genre, character? A color has a red, green, blue value; your clues were color hex codes, 2 can remain constant, as in green, blue but the third (red in this case), can change from 0 to 255, changing the hue or main properties of the color but increasing or decreasing the saturation (lightness, darkness)  of that color.

The timer is displayed as red=0, green=153, blue=153, or Persian Green. I can change the red from 0 to 255 and remain in the Persian Green color value, but the overall saturation moves from a deep color to washed out value.

The story has to contain two of the same variables, the third can change. Just thinking out loud.

Correction, red can only be pushed to about 150 before it's totally washed out to gray, then it moves towards the red color values. Not sure now what this all means; I'll just stick with 2 known (story) variables, and the third is unknown...

So, you just submitted a thesis, Rick! You might get your Ph.D.!  

On a serious note: You got your HEX code part right. But it is not the colors, rather the first clue that I gave in the first post of this thread.

The color part has no value here. I did not prompt it. It's all Don.

I'll just stick with 2 known (story) variables, and the third is unknown...

You nailed it! But you can still find that unknown. Clue#4  



  

Quoted from Yuvraj … rather the first clue that I gave in the first post of this thread.

Quoted from Yuvraj …Uncovering the mystery… And... It's simple, really. Clue

Hmm… clue, as in ‘Clue’; A, B, or C can be any - character, room, or weapon.

Samantha Scarlett, Mustard the Dog, Wendy White, George Green, Polly Peacock, and Peter Plum


All characters are named after... colors.

Quoted from Gum Hmm� clue, as in �Clue�; A, B, or C can be any - character, room, or weapon. Samantha Scarlett, Mustard the Dog, Wendy White, George Green, Polly Peacock, and Peter Plum All characters are named after... colors.

Progress! No colors though.

Okay, last kick at the can. Is it a... Murder Mystery?!

I was busy building a fence during the Halloween OWC and had like zero time to do anything, that's done now, and it's supposed to dump snow on our neck of the woods today, or tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll have some down-time to do some writing in the next week!

Shit. Guess I should read the comments more often, people have already said Crime Mystery!

p.s. I'm just eeking this out to break the 700 post barrier on my avatar. 1 to go, lol.

Go for it.

One character is seen but not heard, one character is heard but not seen?

Quoted from Yuvraj Go for it.

Got... to... get... to... seven hundred... posts... UGH! There, phew! lol. Only took me 9 years!

Seriously though... other than Murder Mystery, I'm stumped. Except the 2 known and 1 unknown variables. What those variables actually are... eludes me.
