ANSWERS: Section 6

Well, it's been almost two weeks, so it's time for me to reveal the answers to my "Section 6" puzzle (which you can still solve here, with the easy version here)! Before I do that, however, here are a list of people who have solved it:

• Grant Fikes **
• Lawrence Denes **
• Eric Maddy **
• Yossi Fendel **
• Adam Weaver **
• Sam Levitin **
• Craig Harman *

Now head below the break for the answers, along with some solver comments and pictures with funny captions!

And here are the answers in text format:

RING 1: FOLLOWER, DUCHINS, GANDHI, EXPIRE, VERB, FAKIR

RING 2: VIXEN, HIDING, SHROUD, WOLFLIKE, FABER

RING 3: WORD OF, LIFEBAR, XVID, HENSHIN

RING 4: FABIO, FROWNS, HENDRIX

RING 5: SHOW-OFF, BRINE

RING 6: BOWSER

The starred letters unscramble to spell out SUFFIX

"Why, hello, Princess Peach! Fancy meeting you here!"

Solver Grant Fikes noted that ""Not a leader" should be "One who is not a leader", since "not a leader" and "follower" aren't really synonymous. "I am not a leader." "I am follower." The latter sounds like a caveman, and not even the good kind of caveman who appears in GEICO commercials. :)" [I have since followed his suggestion and changed that clue in all the formats except the original printable version]

Still unsure if Squidward frowns a lot? "Does THIS look unsure to you?"

Solver Adam Weaver's "favorite part of this puzzle was knowing where XVID went, but not 100% sure it wasn't DIVX going the other way."
