    Can you give me hints abt the answer...? Might help as verbal clues for others still solving...
    Also how would I know if you got it right or not? (ignore if absurd)

    Stuck on stills and ancient spirits. More clues would be helpful.

    All of us are saying the same thing such as time before dinner, teetotaler and ancient spirit. If this is not right, you should say so. Earlier Ms E hinted about French/Greece collaboration in excavation.


    By the way, you have never published answer for your earlier puzzle despite request from Gauri. I humbly request you to slow down and read responses slowly and carefully.

    Dear Ms fit,

    When did I say that? Please don't put words into my mouth.


    It is normal in this thread to provide cryptic responses and when one is afraid that answer might give it away, he/she needs to cover it up in yellow highlights.


    It is also important to provide answers in 24 to 48 hours so that other puzzles would get attention they deserve.


    I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings.

    Your humble student

    Answer to #CoffeeBreakPuzzle #5361

    Charlie Chaplin!

    It is said he doesn't read scripts, that everything was in his head & he improvised while filming! Also why I put the clues as texts in the 'heads'!

    #Clues:

    Top row clues...

    On the right :

    Sherlock Holmes (his first theatre appearance)
    Making A Living (his first movie debut)
    Michael Jackson 's SMILE ( MJ did a cover on Chaplin's 'Smile' song in his History music album)
    Silent Movies (most of his films were...)

    On the left :

    Racos --> Oscar (Academy Award Winner)
    Doohthgink --> Knighthood (awarded a Knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II)
    Tolrahc --> Charlot (otherwise "The Tramp" in several languages)


    Bottom row clues...

    The girl is sitting 'backwards'...

    Both 'heads' are facing 'backwards' to one another...

    The purple navigation sign has <<< symbol, pointing to the left (from right). The head on the top row left has purple colored texts, meant to be read backwards aka right to left! (or how middle east ppl read / write here!)

    Sorry if this was a silly puzzle, meant to be light hearted & just for fun... Its Him after all!

    Y'all hear that 'voice in his head' ? ;-) Yeh... laugh more, BE humble always & live merrily! (wish I was in the right state of mind today to say so....)

    Anyways....Cheers! Have a nice day!

    More clues for current coffee puzzle.... for anyone who hasn't solved yet!

    1. It was used by many ancient era ppl to calculate something...
    2. Not eatable / drinkable items, might involve them but the artifact is not about it!
    3. The question also has a 'where' part, may be you can start with that & find the 'what' part later!

    Split the text clues in the image word by word & focus...!
    Wine should help you focus , also calm my nerves now! ;-)

    Am here today! I didn't think the place I had to drop by will be in this building campus, named 'Knowledge' Village... Really? Just on the day I feel dumb & useless? Hmmm.... Guess that's life's way of playing 'word games' with me.... Or Irony you say?! :)
