The goal is to go from red to orange to green. Note that below "alpaca" and "cheese" are separate concepts, but "beautiful evening" is one concept as is "ringing bell". alpaca cheese saved the beautiful evening from the ringing bell.

Milk and dairy are involved, but that's not the next step by itself what you say when you get your picture taken? ringing bell=alarm? school bell? this, but once again, not the next step by itself fire drill? tornado drill? So we have llama milk saved the beautiful evening from the ringing bell Kayleetonkslupin (Kayleetonkslupin) New member Username: Kayleetonkslupin Post Number: 901 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 6:37 pm:        cream? butter? yak butter? hmm, on that note, the chimes used in Tibetan monasteries? prayer chimes? *played Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time too much* Woodworm (Woodworm) New member Username: Woodworm Post Number: 2215 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 6:47 pm:        Can I just check that the 'saved the' and 'from the' are not part of the idiom (as there seem to be two different styles)? Beautiful evening = sunset? (Whence ... boulevard? strip? Waterloo?) Ringing bell = peal? toll? dong? ding? ding-dong? (whence ... fight, battle or similar?) His Holiness the Dalai Lama?

Llama - Emperor's New Groove relevant not in the slightest.

Gregoryuconn (Gregoryuconn) New member Username: Gregoryuconn Post Number: 187 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 12:21 am:        Can I just check that the 'saved the' and 'from the' are not part of the idiom (as there seem to be two different styles)? yes. only the colored text is part of the puzzle. It's just that when there were two consecutive words in the puzzle, sometimes it's a phrase, and sometimes it's two individual words. Sorry Beautiful evening = sunset? (Whence ... boulevard? strip? Waterloo?) no Ringing bell = peal? toll? dong? ding? ding-dong? (whence ... fight, battle or similar?) Sound of the bell doesn't matter. It's a school bell, therefore ... His Holiness the Dalai Lama? Phonetically "Dalai", which is what matters. You can try to find the phonetically equivalent word, or you can find the other words, at which point it will be obvious. Llama farmer? The Llama song? Here's what we have: Dalai cheese saved the beautiful evening from the ringing bell Dalai is meant to be read phonetically rather than as that word itself, and you know the ringing bell is a school bell, now be more specific. Milk - cheese? Cow? Dairy is relevant. You are not looking for a specific kind of dairy product though. Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 7163 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 12:27 am:        Dalai: pronounced "Dal-I"? "Daily"? Are we looking for a type of cheese? Something that is eaten with cheese? A phrase including "cheese"? Or "cheese" as in "what people say when they get their picture taken"? Maybe fans of the Green Bay Packers - "cheeseheads"?

(for the bell, in case you're wondering) Cheese/milk--maybe "whey" (which is then meant to be interpreted as "way"?

Gregoryuconn (Gregoryuconn) New member Username: Gregoryuconn Post Number: 189 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 3:30 am:        Dalai: pronounced "Dal-I"? "Daily"? Dal-ee Are we looking for a type of cheese? Something that is eaten with cheese? A phrase including "cheese"? none of these Or "cheese" as in "what people say when they get their picture taken"? Maybe fans of the Green Bay Packers - "cheeseheads"? But these are further off. Cheese is relevant as a dairy product, but you are not looking for a kind of cheese or a kind of dairy product. Lunch(time)? recess? last period? this is closest. It may be correct, depending on what you mean by "last period". (for the bell, in case you're wondering) Cheese/milk--maybe "whey" (which is then meant to be interpreted as "way"? no Dalai = Dolly? Yes! So it's Dolly cheese saved the beautiful evening from the ringing bell.

Assembly? Tardy? Gregoryuconn (Gregoryuconn) New member Username: Gregoryuconn Post Number: 191 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 3:54 am:        Cheese -> dairy product -> maid? No. It is not cheese -> dairy product. The next word is connected to cheese as a result of dairy, but is not actually a dairy term. School bell - end of the day? a synonym for this Assembly? Tardy?

No Giving "Dolly sheep", the cloned animal? good thought. Since people seem to be struggling on the cheese, I'll give you a hint: Where is the cheese made? Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 7179 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 3:07 pm:        On a farm? School bell - dismissal? Freedom? Gregoryuconn (Gregoryuconn) New member Username: Gregoryuconn Post Number: 197 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 6:03 pm:        On a farm? Specifically where is that farm? School bell - dismissal? this one Freedom? Oh, and after looking at other idiomuzzles I think I need to make something clear: The end phrase is not an idiom, just a regular, factual, statement. Sorry if this caused any confusion. Anyway, we now have Dolly cheese saved the beuatiful evening from the dismissal.

Woodworm (Woodworm) New member Username: Woodworm Post Number: 2246 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 8:42 pm:        I think we have some classic Anglo-American confusions on this puzzle! Dismissal from employment is called the 'sack', while a dismissal in cricket might be a 'catch', and I thought baseball might be similar. But it probably isn't. And never in a million years would a Brit pronounce Dalai as Dolly! Most Brits wouldn't know about Wisconsin cheese either. But hey, I'm learning ... Now then, Dolly Madison is a brand of cakes. Is the answer one of their slogans?

Dismissal -> fire? bingo! Evacuation? Thinking of an occurrence during the War of 1812 here...is this it? yes.... now either stop or figure out how we get to that point. Now then, Dolly Madison is a brand of cakes. Is the answer one of their slogans? No We have Dolly Madison saved the beautiful evening from the fire.

If you eat it you won't get thinner! *****SPOILER*** It is indeed Dolly Madison saved the picture from the fire Which is a reference to when she saved the George Washington picture from the White House fire in the War of 1812. I will not explain the lateral significance of the title, as it is laterally relevant to a new puzzle I am making.
