Smugle or Strugle? – Dispatches From Smegle

[Flap Jack]

Howdy doodly do, folks! As we’ve now had 2 weeks of the Difficult Daily, I thought it might be prudent to move discussions of the day’s puzzle and our scores to a dedicated thread, so we’re not just bloating the comments of the “Reintroducing Smegle” post all the time. Let that be for more general feedback (or bug reports).

And of course, if you get any share-worthy frames in Casual Continuous, feel free to post those here too!

To start us off,

5/6

Somewhat tricky, but once I’d got the right series I felt confident I could narrow it down enough not to fail.

Also, what do you think: should this thread be spoiler-free, or not? I’m leaning towards not – because I generally prefer to do the Difficult Daily myself before hearing about others’ scores anyway, and it would be cool to speak openly without having to wait until the next day – but only if there’s consensus on it.

I’ve said it before but it’s really I teresting how only seeing one square completely changes your persecption of the colour and material of the things in the shot until more around it is revealed 

[Flap Jack]

Yeah, I totally thought that square was part of a Series 1-2 spacesuit initially.

I thought that first square reveal was Krtyen’s arm initially. Only reason I landed on series VII to begin with.

It’s not right as this would be the sixth day working backwards

Me too. It was the colour mix.

Snap. A fairly “generic” screenshot today that gave away basically nothing about which episode it was, but I hit the right series first time out and just ran through the episodes.

Was trying to work out what the weird red circles were, then realised they must be part of Kryten’s Krysis outfit. Then realised they weren’t, but lucked out anyway.
