Who's The Boss
Game #535: Where in the World?
This private game is moderated by Gizzer. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 8 rounds.
Voting List for Round 6:
Voting instructions will be sent by private message, just to keep the suspense!
As a special reward, I offer an extra challenge to give you something to do during the round. This challenge was intended to be a Fast Forward in the Amazing Braingle Race. The link is at the bottom of this post.
Periodically throughout the round, I will provide the solutions to the remaining challenges. I'll start with the next solution right now.
Challenge 4
dye seed
Solution:
Had I presented the rebus as just
dyeseed
it would have been much easier to see that this is simply the word yes in the word deed. It's amazing what a single space can do, isn't it?
Yes indeed
As we near the end of the Round, I will begin mod firing people, based on their final check-in times, until the numbers are right for the final vote to end the game.
Thanks again for playing!

Challenge 5
Solution:
This one didn't present many problems to those who got this far; it is a simple matter to sound out the symbols.
X psi table buoy becomes Excitable_Boy
By the way, the best-known song from this album is Werewolves of London.

Challenge 6:
34 Saints Acts
Solution:
This is another "in" rebus. The trick this time is realizing that the space between 3 and 4 was removed, making the two digits seem like the number 34.
The opera Four Saints in Three Acts contains the aria Pigeons on the Grass, Alas.

You can work together or separately.
By the way, there is no wiki page that corresponds to the answer. You'll have to contact me for verification.

I guess I wasn't clear. Working together, I meant on this open forum not as the groups or alliances we may have had... but if people want to work it separately, I guess having an open discussion would interfere with that!

Why would you have a bad feeling about the boss losing? It really is the basic intention of the game to find the boss and have him fired first...unless you are the boss or the rat. In this game, it is incidental as we are not looking for the boss, but its a very strange comment to make.

Challenge 7:
рулетка
Solution:
This one posed no problems for anyone, likely because of the number of on-line translation tools. рулетка is roulette in Russian, therefore the answer is Russian_Roulette.

Challenge 8:
I'm not found on the tip of the tongue
But I'm usually quite close by
Add a letter and you will see
That I'll soon take wing and fly.
Solution:
Thinking outside the box was definitely necessary; it is easy to think of a human tongue first. However, the tongue in question is that of a shoe, and on the tip of the lace is the aglet; add an E to create eaglet.
I received a number of very interesting and clever alternate answers though, so kudos to everyone for the effort you put in on this one!

Challenge 9:
Each word in Group 1 has something in common. Each word in Group 2 also has something in common but these commonalities are the complete opposite of each other.
Group 1:
front
lift
keep
end
Group 2:
play
fall
trodden
spout
If you can determine in which group the word holster belongs, and why, you will have the one word answer to this puzzle.
Solution:
Adding the prefix up to the words in Group 1 will result in valid words. Adding the prefix down to the words in Group 2 will result in valid words. Therefore, holster belongs in Group 1, creating the word upholster.
Unfortunately, cdrock never solved this challenge, and so this is the end of the road for him. With 8 challenges solved, cdrock finished alone in 10th place. Congratulations, cd!

Challenge 10:
I can have a lap,
Sometimes I am at hand,
For Bette, I am dark,
And winged in ancient land.
Solution:
No doubt Bette (Davis) was the giveaway on this one, a reference to the 1939 movie Dark Victory.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
The picture can be reconstructed by placing the pieces in the following order:
A L B
C K D
E J I
F G H
I know that some people picked out the red double-decker buses, and one noticed the Gothic architecture. But it is Nelson's Monument that gives away that this is a picture of Trafalgar Square.
I also know that at least one sneaky player collected all the pieces before he solved the challenges.

With less than an hour to go, it's time to start removing the last few players.
Congratulations to TanCW, and his alliance members grilledcheese and HermioneGranger. They completed all the challenges and located Carmen Sandiego for a 7th place finish!

Yes, you can still work on the Fast Forward.
Next:
Congratulations to RGW4 and his alliance partner menz. They completed all the challenges and identified Trafalgar Square for a 5th place finish!
They actually missed 4th place by only 40 minutes!
RGW4 isn't on-line to say good-bye, but I'm sure he'll have stories to tell in the final discussion.

And so, we are down to 4: the She-Wolves and a hobo.
Congratulations to zonahobo for completing all the challenges in 4th place and reaching Trafalgar Square just ahead of RGW4 and menz.
However, he was no match for the pack of She-Wolves: cinnamon30, mocha613 and Smeraldina, who have claimed 1st place! Congratulations, ladies!
However, as we bid a fond farewell to 'bo, it is time for the She-Wolves to turn on each other...
One of them is the Boss!
But which one?
Stay tuned...

Are you kidding me? Ladies! I trusted both of you! Giz, will we be allowed to use what was said elsewhere on Braingle? Like, from our TB?
First off, congratulations to all of you! I really feel... out of place... here in first. You are all such amazing people, and deserve to be here so much more than I do
