I Can’t Quite Believe I Am This Much of a Genius

OK, not the most modest post title I’ve ever written, but seriously, every time I’ve tried Quina, I’ve managed to get the answer even though it’s insanely difficult. Each time, I get half way though and think “there’s just no way I can do this”. I make silly mistakes, don’t feel like I’ve any solid ground to stand on, and yet, by the end, I pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Ceifa means harvest, by the way. Specifically, it seems to mean harvest using a scythe (gadanha) or sickle (foice), so maybe it means more like “reaping”. And it has a related verb, ceifar, in case you’re wondering.

A fellow learner, Frollein_d, put me onto this game, Quina, which is like a harder version of Termo. To be honest, it’s a little too hard for me. I can do it, but it makes my eyes bubble. It’s definitely worth a look though, if you’re a hardcore puzzle fan.
