Right-Click and save the picture on your PC and then look at it. The size is actually much bigger. I have made it smaller to fit onto my page.

Lets take an example. Consider MALI. Expand each of the letters of MALI to produce Malaysia Australia Lesotho and India, now do the same step again e.g.: India becomes Indonesia Nepal Denmark Italy Angola and so on. Now, you have to do the process in reverse. Given above is a square spiral with country names and some capitals. You have to compress the spiral by forming country names and capitals out of the letters obtained in the previous step. In the end, you will get one word, which will be the magic word for this clue. Note: This word is an ordinary English word, not the name of a country or a capital.

A confused message or a confused sender?

The secret meeting of the gobush organisation had just concluded. The committee chairman Mikale Jockson was subjected to a barrage of questions from the members, the subject of the questions ranging from the future of the organisation, to the changes which would be in effect from the coming year. After the meeting, Jackson submitted his report to the CEO of gobush, Big Bush. Big Bush took this report to the Board of Directors and they came out with a new set of recommendations for all the lower level managers of the GoBush organisation. So, he wrote a mail to all managers of GoBush about these recommendations and how he wanted them to be implemented. But, in the near past, the secret activities of GoMonica spies had massively increased. So, he sent the following encrypted mail. Crack the code and you will know where to go next. Btw, mind the punctuation.

Prime Time Bingo

The Cyprus Government, after noticing the increasing popularity of Bingo has decided to telecast live Bingo Games on all its channels during the “Prime Time” slot everyday. Below are the cards that were used on the first live game. Amazingly, there was a hidden word which could be derived from these cards. (the alignment of the Bingo cards and the space between each card is not relevant to the puzzle, just that i have not been able to get the HTML right!)

Who is Aphrodite?Today, the name Aphrodite evokes images of alluring beauty, sensuality, and passion. The goddess is best known, perhaps, as a divine matchmaker and agent of sensual desire and infatuation, whose magical charms were enough to entice even the gods into acts of lust and illicit love.

But, where does that put Monica Lewinsky? If Elton John sang “Candle in the wind” for Diana, why shouldn’t Eminem sing “Don’t Push me” for monica? T I am very unhappy H by the manner E in which H Ben Johnson I attempted the Boston marathon D in 2005. D He should have sprinted E the entire distance, instead, N in protest of the ban imposed on him, W he crawled for the distance of 13 kms and then rolled on the ground for the rest of the distance! O This angered Madonna who sang “Did you do it?” as a protest song for ben Johnson. R The famous rock band, Eagles got into the fray D and vacated their house and moved into I the hotel, California. S Not to be outdone by an eagle, the vulture in the Jungle Book M started singing “Thats what friends are for”. A Ultimately, a careless act by G Monica led to this I cacophony of C american I musicians occupying A centerstage in World War II. N But, as we all know, World War II never happened, it was actually a fiction novel written by Stephen Hawkins.

Queen Aphrodite is famous for her liaisons with various heroes and gods. Aphrodite’s adulterous dalliance was the source of much amusement to the gods of Olympus. Her torrid love affair with Adonis ended tragically. According to one version of the myth, the goddess is said to have been murdered by her cousin, Antigonus.Her romance with Anchises, finally, is one of the most ancient traditions surrounding the goddess.
