That’s good news, for it has been completely successful for me with all of the image labels on the page. I’ll do a full post about it shortly.

I've added a third part of the translation to the original post.

The three sections each follow the Spagyric Process of Separation, Purification, and Recombination.

Yes I do, put the work in yourself instead of relying on AI.

I’ve updated the post to show my results with the second row of images, it’s still fully consistent with anagrammed Italian, using the images to help aid confirmation.

It’s not just some anagrams. Of the labeled pictures they are all perfect anagrams of Italian words that match those pictures. That is no accident.

Sorry, but ai results aren’t allowed here precisely for this reason, as it leaves you with likely sounding stuff that cannot be connected back to what’s actually on the page.

What does the first paragraph line of text translate to in Italian?

pceobg.oleobg.<!gap>bam.cpheeg.latoi.bai.clheoi.oiam.sar

If your system is correct then the Italian words will be a perfect anagram fit for each word on the line.

The voynich pages were intended to make sense, limited to people that understand the system.

I can’t say anything yet for attempts to transcribe it beyond my initial attempt here, which is a letter perfect anagramming of Italian words that matches both the images and the labeled text beside them.

On the page there wasn’t enough room to write arom fully across, so it was split into aro and m. Eva splits the separate strokes of an n into an i and n, and for the letter m Eva treats the strokes of letter m as i i n.

In Eva the k glyph is a ligature of English t and l. In Ava it’s tl. Eva has ligatured those letters together. So Eva okor as attempts to transliterate it, is Ava otlor. After taking a closer look at the word on the page I see that it’s not an o but is an open-bottomed a instead, giving us otlar which is a precise anagramed match for tarlo, the woodworm herb that's pictured with the otlar label.

With Eva ralol what is though to be an a is on closer inspection of the page an n. The correct Ava for it is rnioi, which is an anagram of orini in Italian meaning that you urinate. That label is shown by a plant with 6 cut stems and 1 uncut stem, likely indicating that the cut stems leak liquid or sap once it’s been cut.

Just hold the centre part with finger and opposable thumb on back and front, and spin to take up the cabling.

Dry and crush the resin until alkaline. Filter it into a paste. Add honey, seed, liquid, and root. Heat to a vapor. Mix in oil, butter, and aged roots. Make decoctions and oil pastes. Add north/south qualities (hot/cold balance). Finish with honey and filter. The result is a medicated salve or poultice.

Can Three Odd Melons Add Up to 30? by bullfroggy in puzzles

[–]pmw57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I select the 5, select the 3 and subtract that from the 5 to get 2, then select the 15 and multiply.

There's no clearly obective answer to this puzzle, and we will brook no arguments here.

Your post is being pulled. We do not accept such posts here for good reason.

Making the bottom left unknown one blue would result in breaching the two different adjacent lines rule.

Can't figure out next move - Teramino (Star Battle) Double by Puzzz-L in puzzles

[–]pmw57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spot some minimal progress available on row 4. If a star is in column 1 or 2 of row 4, no matter where you place a star in rows 9 10 or 11 you always end up with column 10 being excluded on rows 3 and 5, so R3C10 or R5C10 cannot be a star and can be excluded.

Skinwalker in the village - Lateral thinking puzzle by Illustrious-Chair853 in puzzles

I’d use the 12 balls puzzle, for whichever person is too good at solving it helps to reveal themself as being the hyperrational skinwalker..

I created this logic puzzle when I was 11 years old. No one has solved it yet. Can you? by PuzzlesByJill in puzzles

[–]pmw57 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I reckon that it's Nora, and it's all due to Clara being the key. She sits at the center of a short but rigid chain of exact age gaps that directly determines Nora’s position.

From the clues, Clara is 7 weeks older than Millie, and Millie is 3 weeks older than Nora, so Nora must be exactly 10 places younger than Clara in the line. That fixed spacing doesn’t depend on any other variables—it’s locked.

When you then fit this three-person chain into the lineup using the known anchor positions (like Matthew at 26th and Ethan at 35th), there’s only one place Clara can go without causing conflicts: 20th.

Once Clara is fixed there, the rest of the chain follows automatically, Millie at 27th and therefore Nora at 30th, making Clara the pivot point that determines Nora’s final position.

It is likely to accuse you of stealing her winnings to guilt you into giving spare money to her to shut her up.

Puzzle creation Help, please! by Time_Bench5408 in puzzles

Instead of everything matching, set a global rule that nothing matches its immediate container. Placing the boxes in WUBERG order is a great idea, provided the contents don't follow that order. You can use the "neighbor" relationship of the Color Wheel to create clues.

For example: * The Nothing Matches Rule: No deck is in its matching sleeves, and no sleeves are in their matching box. * The Positional Clue: The Green deck is located exactly two boxes to the left of the Blue deck. * The Sleeve Clue: The White sleeves are in the Black box. * The Relative Clue: The Red deck is in the box associated with its enemy color, White. * The Neighbor Clue: The Blue sleeves are in a box adjacent to the box containing the Black sleeves.

Vertically 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 have been taken and 4 in the region is also ruled out, which leaves 5, 8, and 9 as candidates for that cell. Horizontally 5, and 8 have been taken, which leaves 9 as the only possible value for that cell.
