Rebus Puzzle – Step-It-Up

I have created a rebus puzzle with a hidden message in it – can you find out what it says?

Finding different words to make the hidden words were a bit difficult for me to do, because some pictures might be hard to guess like the Z’s for some audience; but let me give you a hint: the Z’s are NOT related to sleeping!

Message hint: It is a type of popular food in NZ. It has many names, but we call it the adjective it makes when it cooks!

Please comment below if you think you have solved it, or even if you have no idea!!

Rebus Puzzles – Kick Start

I created a story using emojis. Can you understand this puzzle?

If you can’t, I have a emoji glossary so you can read it!

The summer ☀️ is killing me! It is scorching 🔥 📥side and 📤. Does🧍1️⃣ feel the same 🛣️? Literally! 🪰s are buzzing around everywhere, it’s 🚗ing me 🤪! When 👁️ swat them away, they seem to always come 🔙, like a 🪃. It’s like they’re asking for a swatting. And my 🍭, they 🫠 into a warm, gooey-but 😋-mess. Sometimes when it’s so 🔥, 👁️ miss the ❄️. But that rarely happens. Even though 👁️ feel like an 🧊 way past its melting ☝️, the ☀️ just is too 🔥 to be 😮‍💨 with it. It 🔆ns the 🛣️, and ♨️s us up from the 📥 out. What more can we 🙏 for? We have to be thankful for this ✨   🦸hero.

Next time we can’t 👊 the ♨️, 🤷 not just 🦘 in front of the 🪭 and consider that it could be “God’s 🌲t”?

Tangrams – Step-It-Up

I solved 4 advanced Tangram puzzles!

To describe the pictures using math vocab:

The football picture(top left) used reflection symmetry for the football, because the red and blue isosceles triangles have exactly the same angles, and together makes a square. The arms and legs of the picture are made up of shapes that have acute angles.

The wolf picture(top right) is using shapes with their vertices pointing to the top left, which is what the wolf is doing. The head(red, green, blue shapes) and the torso(pink triangle) look like the tail of the wolf(rhombus), but on a bigger scale(proportional/corresponding area). The shapes of the wolf look slanted to the left, like a rhombus(tail of wolf).

The Sydney Opera House(bottom left) uses most of the 3-sided polygons with their vertices pointing upward, like a castle or mountain.

The scorpion picture(bottom right) uses reflection symmetry with two isosceles triangles(blue and pink) to make another larger sized isosceles. The red triangle in-between the smaller blue triangle and the rhombus looks similar to the larger sized isosceles polygon(proportional/corresponding area. They also both have vertices pointing upwards.

How would you describe these images?
