The Isis Adventure

For everyone working on clue 10, it was solved.


Clue:
Charged with maintaining peace and security, five permanent seats and ten temporary seats, Church House was first, what is the family name of the partner to where no man has gone before.

Answer: abramovitz

I was not on the right track for this one. The answer is the name of the architectural partner to Wallace Kirkman Harrison. Harrison was thelead architect for the United Nations Headquarters in NY.

I was going down the wrong path when it was solved. I had figured out that the United Nations Security Council was also the initials for the UNSC in the game Halo. The first meeting at Church House was on 1/17/1946. 117 is part of the name of the main character in the game Halo. "Where no man has gone before" was the 3rd episode of Star Trek. I was trying to determine the family name to the partner of John-117 in Halo3. Good idea, but wrong.

I don't know if it is allowed, but I would love to see some of the other riddles to see if I can get close to them. I don't know if PMing them or posting them is against the rules. I won't help anyone answer, but you can email me the clues to winston2323@gmail.com.

I don't think PM'ing/emailing the clues is allowed as the riddles are supposed to be solved by the individual. The riddles are not allowed to be posted on this forum until they are solved. They are also not allowed to be posted on any other forum, please see here

But there are currently a few riddles that have been solved and the solutions are available on this forum for you all to see

I understand that you are not allowed to help anyone with the riddles and that they are a personal challenge. I was just hoping that it was allowed that I could be sent some of the remaining riddles to try to figure out. I would not share my possible solutions with anyone and would not find out if they are correct until the correct answer is posted in the forum. The worst thing that could happen is that I could be so confident that I solved the riddle that I would buy another Isis.

Hi Dave,

I understand what you are saying, I just think it's safer if we ask people not to PM or email them. I'm sure you would not break the rules of the game, but unfortunately a small number of people would, as we have seen in the past.

I hope you understand why,

Best wishes,
Karen

How does that fit with Were no man has gone before?

Having seen some of the other answers, it wouldn't surprise me if it was linked to the Kirk in Kirkman.

Captain Kirk of course.
