Let’s see… We have seven copies of a painting of Eve (seven faces of…?), a bearded dude with a white necklace, the nurses from M_A_S_H, some numbers that I think are part of an ENIGMA-cracking effort, a British bomb squad, Herbie the Love Bug, one of the boot camp scenes from Full Metal Jacket, a Prius, a musical note, and a tattoo of M_A_S_H characters. I’m guessing that each image somehow represents a movie, and that the connection is some actor who’s been in all of them, but more than that, I can’t say. ---

Before this thread moves into **14 k of g in f p d** territory, I’d like for the OP to confirm that he knows the answer. ---

Yes, I know the answer. I thought up the puzzle, and found the pictures. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > I don’t think anyone’s going to get it. Of course not. It’s like when you have a tune in your mind, and you try to tap it out, say on a table, for someone else. To you, it sounds like the tune in your mind, because you synch it; but to the other person, it’s just incoherent tapping. That’s what this “puzzle” is. ---

“Seven eves” is a palindrome. Dunno if that’s part of it, but its interesting. ETA: as is “a toyota” for the prius. Perhaps all the images can be made palindromes. ---

“Radar” might actually be “soot tattoos”. Still don’t have the half note or that guy in the upper left. ---
