If you desire the answer, the answer is what you desire.

Rollins looks like he needs to join up, get wounded in combat, then saw his own gangrenous leg off and write a song about it.

Show's over, folks. Move on. There's nothing to see here. I'll torture you with a new puzzle next week. Standard hint: All puzzle solutions relate to cc.com in some way or another.

Now we can all return to our dull, drab existences.

That puzzle was so tough even it's creator didn't get it right.

Told you it was staring you in the face. The PA by the way, is half of the Ma and Pa Kettle comedic duo, who were popular in the 50s. Either that or he's another melamine molecule. Way to work together. Winner gets a date with the puzzle's solution.

Which spells?

I didn't say 'it's not nine inch nails'...I just said it's not 'nine'

In the face, I say.

DO THE MATH

Seattle? Who dried up Lake Washington and Union?

It's staring you in the face.

you can get 4 by deduction.

Actually, if you review the thread, you're an RCH from getting it. All the major components have been posted.

No. The 'nine' clue is wrong, but close. For the last one, think satellite photo.

Where do you see a boat here?

Yup. Probably exactly only one thing...

The answer is we'll need all of the above. I don't think wind and solar are red herrings at all, although they're not a silver bullet, either. Ex: Half your home energy usage is for hot water. Everyone focuses on photovoltaics, which are the least cost effective and most expensive home technology, but what homes really need is passive solar, which requires no more energy to produce that a standard plumbing system. A friend as a system here in seattle, and it produces all of his hot water for 6 months a year, and half for the rest of the year. He supplements it with an on demand water heater, which is in itself more efficient than a tank unit. The payback for these systems is about 5 years in Seattle. So...how many passive solar water heating systems do you see around your neighborhood? How about in new construction? That's the problem. We haven't even begun to conserve. And that's just one example out of many where, with proper planning and new construction techniques, we could cut our energy usage per capita in half at least...and still live as well as we do now. As for wind, the new windfarm at Vantage will power 70,000 homes at average output. Not bad for just getting started. A new company is now producing biodeisel from fast growing algae. Soon, a cellulose based biodeisel will be available, which will make favorable the energy in vs energy out equation for that fuel. My point is: let's max out these clean technologies before we 'gladly make the tradeoff' (ie: selfishly fuck future generations in the ass with a hotter planet).

Either that, or she spoke at the Tion Res Lub. It won't be long now...

OK, melanin is a family of larger molecules the manifest in the various pigments with the basic building block being melamine. Hence my confusion. The molecular diagram I posted was titled 'the structure of melanin', so I took it at face value. Some knowledge is only skin deep. Carry on.

Oops. You're right, they just didn't explicitly show the carbon atoms. Well, it's also 'supposed to be' melanin, which is the correct answer, mmmmckay?

Look more closely. One of things, is not like....

We've got some really great nukes we could sell you, but you can probably get them cheaper from the North Koreans. Are there tar sands beneath Jasper NP? I was thinking we could shave off the top and relocate it down here somewhere...Robson included.

You're getting closer. It's not melamine, though, but that's close, too.

This post has nothing whatsoever to do with socialism. It has to do with incompetent totalitarianism, which can be socialist, capitalist, communist....
