It's a map. It shows a location. It is hand drawn and coloured in by coloured pencil. It looks like a child (or an idiot drew it). That's not going to help you though. I guess it's part of a puzzle that looking at the other page might help you solve.

An open book. On the left is a map of... somewhere. On the right seems to be some sort of puzzle that needs solving.

Yup, it's a clue of some sort. In this case, it is a poem:

"A Stone's throw betwixt Gibraltar and California, you need to start near
In the days of domes -- a pepper seller -- one of 162 lived here
Third in line toward the setting sun something there did sit
What writ in plain old English is carved right there up on it?"

Work that out and refer to the map and maybe... maybe, you can solve it. — Yup, it's a clue of some sort.

A #rebus is a #wordplay #puzzle combining images and letters to represent a word or phrase.

Words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters; for instance, "apex" might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by a letter X.

Moving left to right "say" the images in English and mix in the letters to complete the answer.

A puzzling sci-fi landscape (black, purple, green, blue, red, yellow colors.

Above, Puzzle pieces float off the ground far into the yonder, where we can see a puzzle piece shining like a moon. It looks like a magical and soothing place, a countryside with some ancient castles. Underneath these floating parts, we can find an underground society. Living in tall buildings reaching almost the planet's core. Probably the busiest area of this yet unexplored planet.

@sinmisterios @santiago sí, los desarrolladores de Mastodon no han llegado a tiempo para ponerlo en una versión "oficial" este año, se supone que va a estar incluido en la versión 4.6 que saldrá para Marzo del año que viene, así que (si esta vez cumplen, porque el año pasado dijeron algo parecido), lo tendremos para el año que viene

Aquí lo explica un poco más el CTO

@j3j5 @santiago Bue tonces si no hay data, se especula. Yo calculo que 2025 la etiqueta más usada de @santiago debe ser #yameiba y la del 2026 #arandelas.
La mía debe ser #puzzle
@j3j5 la tuya será #bots o algo así?

A #Christmas #Mathematics #puzzle!

I am wrapping garland around my Christmas tree in a long continuous spiral, top to bottom.

I have two lengths of garland, equal in length. When the first length runs out, I’ll start the second one, which will finish the job.

How high up the tree does the first length of garland run out and the second length start?

For simplicity, the garland is a one-dimensional string and the tree is a cone resting on the floor. The garland is very long compared to the height of the tree and successive wrappings are equally spaced.

Edit: I've posted a geometric asymptotic solution as a reply here: https://old.mermaid.town/@futzle/115652589812829416

Wicked Wonderful Wordies - #wordplay #wordies #idiom

Happy weekend from here, #puzzle fans!

Idioms or common phrases (American/English) are represented by the position, shape or arrangement of words in or around the puzzle frame.

Can you figure out this week's wordie? It would be wicked wonderful if you can.

Please use CW to submit your answers, thanks. Give everybody the chance to guess.

Hint: hurry

Wicked Wonderful Wordies
a visual idiom puzzle
------------------------------
description
The word "living' rests on the word "borrowed time" in the center of the puzzle frame.
------------------------------
Explanation:
Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame. The arrangement can be significant, and might be the key to recognizing the idiom.

The puzzle can be difficult to solve because the idiom or common phrase may not be common to the person trying to solve the puzzle.

Sometimes there is an "AhHa!" moment, though.

Answers and an archive of the puzzles is available at http://runeman.org/wordies. — Wicked Wonderful Wordies a visual idiom puzzle ------------------------------ description The word "living' rests on the word "borrowed time" in the center of the puzzle frame. ------------------------------ Explanation: Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame.
