Wow. Lotsa stuff in one item.

The riddle answer is: “silence”

2) Base of arm of drafting tool / Back of chair
3) Doorknob / Headphones
4) Plant / Hair
5) Drawer pull / Edge of molding strip

Messerschmidt’s is a sad story. I could picture this character head as representing the artist as he looked back on his life. “If I close my eyes and try really hard, the bad things will go away and everything will be back to normal.”

Have a good weekend, everybody!

silence is extremely brittle.

S=0
E=1
M=2
U=3
A=5
T=6
I=7

Division#1:
E*MA=MA, -> E=1
A*MA=100+MA, -> MA=25
this is enough to solve the rest

Division#2:
all the letters had the same values as in Division#1!!
I suppose this was intentional?

Whoa Kitty #2:
1. Joint by head of lamp = Joint on contraption attached to desk (for holding paper down?) <– I’m hoping this one is a legitimate duplication :/
2. Doorknob = Headphone
3. Straight-edge ruler = Bin under desk
4. Plant = Boy’s hair
5. Back of chair = Base of the paper-holer-thingy
6. Drawer handle = Molding on wall
7. Wolverine’s claws = Cat’s stripes

Whoa Kitty #3:
1. Shower head = Hairdryer (kinda looks like telephone, or vacuum…
2. Left faucet knob = Cap on bottle in cabinet
3. Soap = Shampoo bottle in cabinet
4. Towel over shower = Towel in hamper
5. Brush = Broom
6. Belt buckle = Front of radio
7. Cat’s stripes = Toilet seat cover

I really like these puzzles – very cute and enjoyable.

As for the statue, my initial impression was “indignation” or even “stubbornness”, but I feel like there are so many possibilities. I’m going mostly on the furrowed brow and scrunched up nose, which could even imply contempt or disgust. I’m eager to see what everyone else thinks…

Division Math puzzle 1:
S = 0
E = 1
T = 6
A = 5
M = 2
U = 3
3125 / 25 = 125

Division Math puzzle 2:
S = 0
E = 1
T = 6
A = 5
M = 2
U = 3
O = 8
3300 / 125 = 26 remainder 50

I was able to solve each puzzle separately. Only then I noticed that the variables are the same for both puzzles!

I should mention, with Whoa Kitty, tiled elements (floor panels, shower tiles, etc..) will never be used as ‘object doubles’.
