The winner was @onefatindian receiving 1 SBD + 6 XP. Congratulations!


I generated a random number to see who wins the 0.25 SBD. The random number generated was 7, therefore the winner of the random reward is the sixth person sending in the correct answer:

Today's puzzle

This block represents a phrase. Can you find out what is it?

To participate in the contest, please do the following:

  1. Upvote the post.

  2. Send your answer to me either as a private message on Discord (@ksolymosi#5065) or in an e-mail message ([email protected]). If you use Discord, please make sure that your Discord name is the same as your Steemit name, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to find you...

  3. Comment on the post containing the puzzle mentioning where I should look for your answer (for example „Answer sent via Discord").

Important

Don't post your solution under the post containing the puzzle because then you ruin the game of others!

The answer should contain the identification number of the puzzle, too (for example DBG 11).

Answers should arrive until I post the results of the actual game (usually between 12.00 am and 8.00 pm UTC+1, but exceptions might occur...). This leaves approximately a 12-24 hour time window to send me your answers. (Answers arriving later will not be considered.)

It is possible to correct your answer by sending another solution, but only the last message will be considered for the reward. (So if you send the good answer first and then send another message with a wrong one, then, unfortunately, the wrong one will „participate" in the game.)

Please do not ask clarifying questions. I do my best to phrase instructions as clearly as possible. So everyone should work from the amount of information given in the post.

Detailed rules and information on the scoring and rewards can be found here and here.

This is the first text puzzle I can actually solve. English is not my first language. The ones that require logic are easier for me.

Good luck everyone!

Man i feel you totally, i failed one before and solved one after like half a day... i'm not that sure about this one either :D

These puzzles are so cleverly put together. Once you know the solution you are always like 'man how come I didn't see that' :)

Eventhough you are not sure, I hope you are right.

They sure are.
I wonder if @ksolymosi is coming up with them, or she gets them from somewhere.

Either way, they are fun :)

English IS my first language and I hate the word puzzles. I’ve only got one right in the past. I much prefer the other puzzles too! Good Luck!

oo, hate is a strong word :)
I like the variety. Forces you to think in different ways.

Yup, missed "each containing four numbers".. facepalm
Answer emailed.

Yeah, it happens. I feel your emotion. #36 is so easy I didn't even care to check my answer. Suffice to say, I blundered badly. Looking at the answer I was like "huh?!" and after rereading the brain game it hit me. It kinda feels like a child-proof object that I cannot seem to master (and that happens way too often). Or worse, switching on my washing machine. It has touch buttons that simply fail to notice my attempts. My son of one and a half, always helpful, assists me in getting life into that 'thing'. And then I am humbly subjected to the brutal truth of life: IQ is just a number. On the bright side, there is something new to learn every day.

It sure is, we do learn everyday.
Funny thing i submitted the answer 3 times in like 5 min!! I was in a huge hurry i was about to go out, my brother was waiting for me, we were going to watch Avengers, we were a little bit late, and then i saw puzzle, and im like easy one did not bother to read the text divided numbers into 2 groups, sent answer and as i sent it i realised that i have 35 on one 33 on other side, fixed it sent again and while i was closing that tab i saw "4 regions".. totally missing "each containing four numbers"..
