hummmmm.....

depends where, I suppose. when I solved it myself, all I needed was one well-placed dot. the rest was entirely ll. but then again, there are sometimes many ways to come up with the same answer. glad you took the time, Liz.. Hope you have a great weekend!

I'd like to hear what gator, bouldin, bug, infrapink, etc have to say...

I solved it..... but I'm not quite sure what it is.

really? the sword in the stone, from Arthurian legend. guess it's not to good of a pic....

agreed on the solve
now i see the sword
i saw a faceless sleepwalker with outstretched hands (in a zombie type pose)
haha

It's one of those that now that you know what it is you feel pretty dumb for not seeing it in the first pictures. Actually, it's very good.

thanks Kadou, bug, Norma

Ahh, it certainly is a sword. And here I thought it was the giant Jesus from Rio de Janeiro, or else Mario stuck in a pipe with limbs all akimbo :)

I don't get any credit for being able to solve? :( It looked like Jesus on Sugarloaf in Rio. Fun puzzle.

Great minds think alike, Kristen ;)

Quite so :)

I think lots of Catholic cities have the huge Jesus. There is one outside of Lisbon as well. I was typing my reply as you were posting.

Here is the statue, and if you look down the page, you will see that lots of cities have them:

Might be a puzzle topic: Statues by height:

Of course I hate tall puzzles with huge clues at the top (not good for me).

Excalibrant

Made me think of the little figures kids made out of old-fashioned clothespins many years ago. I did not see a sword, but get it now.

wow, Joel...I forgot all about those. haven't seen a clothespin in years. thanks for the memories comin' into my lil pea-brain

I seem to remember one in particular that someone made into a xmas ornament to look like rudolph

Kurt: Make a puzzle about those. It can go with Kristen's paper plate turkey ;)

lol Tom! maybe I will...

not tonight though. lil sleepy and my happy vicodin's kickin' in. Have a good night, y'all!

Solved logically. Could not figure out what it was until I read the comments.

Great solve! I was hoping for a cork, guess I feel like wine!

totally solvable by logic. Nice solve. Enjoyed it!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Dennis the Peasant: Listen - Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
