Welcome to this weeks landmark puzzle -- "Men at Sea" found in Esbjerg, Denmark!

You might be familiar with WALDO of "Where's Waldo?" puzzles. Waldo needs your help to find the "Men at Sea" sculpture. He has traveled through several places trying to locate the sculpture and needs your help to piece together the clues to help him finally make it to the awesome landmark for this week in Denmark.

You will need to find Waldo in each of the below scenes and near him is a clue to help in this quest. Also in each scene is hidden the ICON of the "Men at Sea" sculpture. When you find the icon in each scene pay attention to the location of it. There is a 6-column, 6-row overlay of each scene that has the letters A-Z and the digits 0-9. Once the icon is found you can check the overlay and discover the letter or digit clue for that scene.

8 scenes which you will decode into 8 letters or digits, and 8 clues gathered from each Waldo will give you all you need to help direct Waldo to where the "Men at Sea" landmark can be found.... (NOTE: add your result to the following html address: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/ )

Note: Don't search for the icon or Waldo's clues on the overlays. Use overlay just to figure out the letter or digit for that scene.

Happy hunting!

Can you explain what the "Clue" near Waldo represents? For the first 3 scenes I found Waldo, the clue near him and the ICON, but I dont seem to find a relation between them.

When you find them all I think you will figure it out! ;)

BTW- the location of the ICON you find will be switched to a letter or digit when you find the same place on the overlay...

So if you found 3 icons you should have 3 letters/digits with a clue that goes with each..

I've also found everything but have no idea what to do next with the clues.
Any chance of having some help on this?

Took me a while to understand the basics, but I think I got it now :D It's very late for me so I won't finish it now, but I have a whole week, right? :D

Looks very interesting as I love HOGs, it might keep me busy instead of my Steam games hehe!

Found all the waldos and I found all the mennesket ved havet and the letter they represent. Too tired to figure out what to do now.

Ok, I understand the principle, but what are the clues for? it obviously doesn't give you the block in the overlay where to find the ICON since that would be the answer so a little clarification would be nice, thanks a lot.
Is it the position of the corresponding letter or number in the final code?

Found icons and digits, but i don't get how they are related :/

Find same location on overlay as the icon found on that scene. That area is one square in the 6x6 grid with a letter/digit.

Write down the letter/digit that is in the overlay where you found the icon and the clue from Waldo that is on the same scene.

You will get 8 letters/digits and 8 clues for each... once you do that you’ll see the connection.

In outer space I found even the cat before finding the men at sea. Was I blind there in that regard ;-)

You see only its tail.
Also found: Waldo's wife, 4 kids. A black/yellow striped guy (a Dalton? Dalto?), a wizard.
Wouldn't be suprised for there being even more.

I found Chewbacca, Robbie the Robot and some Daleks. I did not find the icon yet though. Troy is making my eyes bleed though so maybe try again tommorrow.

I love the puns in the last one:

I'm stuck at the battle of Troy. I even tried brute force for the code (since I know the position and all possible combinations of the missing letter) but it lead to nothing. So, now I'm wondering what the clues are for...

Tory is indeed an [expletive]. It is the only one I have not solved, despite many an hour. Will cheat and investigate image comparison software.

Wow, Troy really was a chore. I think I've now found all the Wallys and clues, however at first, second and third glance they do not make any sense. Is the order in which on writes down those clues relevant? Sometimes I've written down the where I found the icon first and sometimes where I found Wally plus the clue, depending on what I found first.

Either way, I much appreciate the puzzles!

8 scenes which you will decode into 8 letters or digits, and 8 clues gathered from each Waldo will give you all you need to help direct Waldo to where the "Men at Sea" landmark can be found.... (NOTE: add your result to the following html address: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/ )

Sorry, my reading comprehension failed me, I think I understand now. I will have a look at it again later.

It took me literally seconds to find each Waldo but I haven't found a single Men at Sea icon yet. Are they always black like here?

[edit] OK, found the first one, not black at all...

Finally found all the icons and the letters/digits, and all the clues from each Wally. But I don't know how to solve the puzzle ;(

Look at the overlay for the same place you found the icon-- each square in the 6x6 overlay has a letter or digit in it...

Thus the location of the icon on 8 scenes will give you 8 letters/digits... clues from Waldo will help to finish getting the correct address to add here: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/12345678

replace the 12345678 with the letters/digits you received from each overlay.
