Life destroying procrastination

[helen b]

Oh wow 4 is hard! is it an anagram of haywain or something??? heeeeeelp!

[The Laydee Wins]

I can't do problem 4 at all, I've looked up the Haywain and still can't see how that heps!!! And what about the column with the green arrow? Where's that fit in??????

And I can't be bothered to make little coloured squares for the blocks one right now. Dammit. I can't even be bothered to procrastinate properly!

[The Laydee Wins]

Aaaaarrrggghhh!! This is driving me nuts, I did all the lining up and all that and got what I thought was the answer but the Puzzle Donkey doesn't like it! Am I just stupid??!!!

[The Laydee Wins]

OK, I just realised I'm a very stupid person! I can't explain why cuz it might give away the answer but I really am dumb!!

[Wong]

In that case I must be stupid as well, because after some quick work with MS Paint I've got this. (Don't look if you don't want a spoiler, you have been warned.)

However, the obvious answer there isn't right, and I've also tried the name of the artist... everything!

I've joined the ranks of the un-stupid - past it! Take note of the plural within the title.

my mind can't get past the scrunch up the word one 1.12, i think i will just need to do trial and error until my mind clicks.

the question isn't asking what you think it's asking...
ie: the answer isn't the name of a song


any more thoughts on number 4?

[Wong]

Have a look at my image, and use that as a starting point. You have to do the same thing I did again.

...almost killed me!! I think I need a lie down after that, the site is going to ruin me. Just think logically, and note that it asks to 'Line up the Artists' so if you understand Haywain you are almost halfway there. good luck!

[tenacious e]

thanks, Wong and Rachy.

Think I'll do a bit more studying then get back to it... Wish I hadn't started it now - it's addictive!

[helen b]

But i don't even understand Haywain!! and i looked at your hint, but don't get how it correlates with Haywain! oh bloody hell someone help!!!!!! I have an exam on friday and can't get down to revising until I have done number 4, therefore my whole fture is in the hands of puzzledonkey and sinner people! HEeeeeeeeeeeeeelllpp!

Helen B...first start breathing again!! If you have to look at Wong's hint then think logically about it! You will instantly recognise one of the words. The other word you might not, but if you think that it HAS to have some relevance to Haywain, then what you have to do next should become a little bit clearer. If you are still stuck and are in danger of going mad then email rer4 and i'll try and give you a bigger clue, that won't spoil the fun for the other sinners!

[helen b]

Oh god thank you thank you thank you!! now i can (pretend) to revise!! Maybe mywhole university career has been saved and i shall be returning next year after all!! now for puzzle 5...damnit!!!

[Wong]

I can't do Puzzle 5 either.

(Removed my hint for Puzzle 4 now that you're past it.)

[Rachy]

You think number 5 is hard...wait till you get onto the bitch of question 6!! bloody coloured blocks, stupid puzzle donkey!! If anyone has any friendly hints for number 6, then feel free to nudge me in the right direction.

[tenacious e]

thanks for all the hints on puzzle four - i really needed them.
i actually got puzzle 5 quite quickly...
here are my clues:
1) you hear it in the library
2) simon and garfunkel had a song about it
