Puzzle 544

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These are the rules:

* 1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

* 2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

* 3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

* 4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

* 5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

* 6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

* 7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

* 8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

* 9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Here’s the puzzle!

Wom was correct. I have ask him if he will host our next puzzle.

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static, our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of Nature." - Nikola Tesla, 1892


For those that are interested in true history and not the history written in some history books. Nikola Tesla was probably the most over looked Scientist of all time. The founder of General Electric, Thomas Edison was his rival for years and fought his theories for years. Edison stole Tesla’s work and took credit for everything that eventually made GE the leader in the transmission of AC current and the AC motor. Tesla was to far ahead of the times and was viewed by many as a mad man. Mad or not he should receive the credit for most of Edison’s work since he was the true inventor. I worked and retired from GE and would be considered a turn coat to say these words , true as they are. The quote solved today was written in 1892 and some day will become a reality. There will be a day when we will look at our need for OIL and laugh at how primitive we were.

And solar power to, a lot of his ideas are being utilised today.

[lvpets2002]

:) Yes just the other day watching the History Channel they were doing that story.. Pretty Interesting I would say..

I had read and heard that Edison was ruthless a a business man.
I know Tesla is much more appreciated today as a mathematician than he was in his time.

Reading up on Tesla. Interesting man with lots of accomplishments. Life is full of irony. Edison was his nemesis and he won an Edison award at one point.

from Wikipedia


Also in the late 1880s, Tesla and Thomas Edison became adversaries in part because of Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over the more efficient alternating current advocated by Tesla and Westinghouse. Until Tesla invented the induction motor, AC's advantages for long distance high voltage transmission were counterbalanced by the inability to operate motors on AC. As a result of the "War of Currents", Edison and Westinghouse went nearly bankrupt, so in 1897, Tesla released Westinghouse from contract, providing Westinghouse a break from Tesla's patent royalties. Also in 1897, Tesla researched radiation, which led to setting up the basic formulation of cosmic rays.[60]

Smart guy.

[kokopup]

While the Navy denys the connection, it has been documented from several sources that the Navy "HAARP" projects around the world are based on the disappeared papers of Tesla. It is funny that all of the Lunacy of Tesla's latter days has been linked to the Soviet and Ronald Reagans death ray initiatives.

[mrspunkysmom]

So what happened to the next puzzle?

[kokopup]

Karen said she would host a puzzle that was suppose to be posted yesterday.

[mrspunkysmom]

So I'm guessing puzzles are on hold for the time being?

Can I start my own quote puzzle?
