Teh Gimmickry - Test Your Extensive Knowledge and Riddle Solving

Ok - I'm a long way behind - but have finally got to 6 with no help thus far - but am stuck.

Nature - lots of swirly colours.

Clues / hints would be appreciated.

My brain is going numb.... :)
 
Doh! - I had typed the answer in before - but must have mispelt it!!
Many thanks.


Edit:

Ok - now got to 15 - and stumped.
Am thinking that maybe an "air" from Handel's Water Music has a different name?

Well I just got a hint from Nullmask, so I will post it just because I am a nice guy. I haven't figured the answer out yet, but if someone gets it before me, I would appreciate some reciprocating help.

Here you go: Hint for 15=- "a renamed air" means another word. A word that has "air" in it, a word that points to your head... somewhere.
- the above hint should give you a good start, but the word "waves" has all to do with the answer too. Catch what I mean with my first hint and you should figure it out pretty soon.
 
hey! I just got the same email from nullmask, and I was going to post it, but it looks like someone else beat me to it.

I was thinking that the word "hair" has "air" in it. And hair can be wavy. But alas, the answer was not hair. Notice how he says "...somewhere." I think the different word with "air" in it could have a variation such as "where" or "wear"

So where does that leave us? "A word that points to your head." brain (brainwaves?), hair, headwear such as hats, hairdos (flock of seagulls?). These are things related to the head, but what points to the head. ARRow?

I don't know. I was hoping that I would think of something during my rambling, but it appears I haven't. I hope someone else thinks of something.
 
Hallelujah! I got the answer! Thank you JkXlr8R! It's about damn time, too. But now I am totally confused about nullmask's clues :rolleyes:
Everyone should be able to get it with that last clue, but if not, I will help you.

I wish I had time to tackle the next one now, but alas, I have exams to study for :(
 
I'm still a bit confused. Can I find the answer under surface wave on wiki?
 
yay, thanks JkXl8r, I got it. now for 16...first thing that popped into my head was that it had to do with illegal drugs. Of course first thing you think of usually isn't the answer....*sigh*
 
Woot! All done. Once you get to the last page, the "hall of fame" form is broken. You fill it out and get a cgi error. That's classy.

All in all, Gimmickry 1 was waaaay better than this one. Completely unrelated clues & answers don't qualify as challenging. It's just stupid. This and the broken ending make for a real mess.

Obligatory Quizling plug- the Something Awful boys are already on stage 6!
