Is Charlie the artist? Are Fred, Joe and the artist three people? Are they HAM? More people involved? Did Fred want: something different? The same but much more? Did he himself save Joe and the artist? Serious trouble: with the law? With one or more people? Danger? Life-threatening? Financial trouble? | ||

Is Charlie better? As in not sick? As in more skilled? As in something of his is better? Something that he owns? Something that he's made? His plan? Joe's profession relevant? Will Fred be in trouble if he doesn't help? Or if something is discovered? Is his sort of trouble also with the law? Also financial? Artists=painters? Sculptors?

No Something that he's made? No His plan? No Joe's profession relevant? No Will Fred be in trouble if he doesn't help? No Or if something is discovered? Yesish, worth exploring Is his sort of trouble also with the law? No Also financial? No Artists=painters? No but OTRT; beware a FA Sculptors? No Are all artists the same kind of artist?

Are they all from the same country? No but not relevant If we really want to nitpick, Joe, Mike and Fred are from the same country (which is somewhat relevant, but we do not need to identify the country, it could have happened almost anywhere) while Charlie is from a different one; however, the puzzle would work as well if all four of them were from the same country as Charlie. | ||

Fred, Joe and Mike all know Charlie, right? But does Charlie know them? Is Charlie famous? Relationship between Fred and Joe: family? friends? strangers? acquaintances? lovers? colleagues? same questions for the relationship between Fred and Mike, and again for Joe and Mike. Charlie is better than something else--is he better than a physical object? better than a situation? if so, is he better than what was enough to save Joe and Mike from serious trouble? is he (and the outcome he causes) what Fred would have wanted? or is he merely better than Joe and Mike getting into trouble? Does Charlie work out a little deal for them that saves them from the law? does Charlie buy the work of art? Did Joe put his name to Mike's work? Is it important to find out exactly what kind of artists they are? | ||

Fred, Joe and Mike all know Charlie, right? Right But does Charlie know them? No Is Charlie famous? Very much so Relationship between Fred and Joe: family? No friends? Something between this... strangers? acquaintances? ...and this. lovers? No colleagues? In a way :-)) same questions for the relationship between Fred and Mike, Strangers and again for Joe and Mike. Let us say friends Charlie is better than something else--is he better than a physical object? Yes, for a svv of "physical object" better than a situation? No if so, is he better than what was enough to save Joe and Mike from serious trouble? No - he is just enough to achieve that. is he (and the outcome he causes) what Fred would have wanted? No or is he merely better than Joe and Mike getting into trouble? Let us say that he is better than another thing which would have got Joe and Mike into trouble Does Charlie work out a little deal for them that saves them from the law? Not exactly but very laterally OTRT does Charlie buy the work of art? No Did Joe put his name to Mike's work? No Is it important to find out exactly what kind of artists they are? Essential :-)) | ||

If not for Charlie, would it be Fred who gets Joe and Mike into trouble? would he do it deliberately? Does the tattoo symbolise an affiliation with a religious group? political group? social group?

[LTPF list of decades] during which Charlie's movies were made, please. Is it Charlie Chaplin? The FA, was it that Charlie did not perform in the movies? Or that Charlie hailed from the USA, but his movies weren't always filmed there? You gave a 'No' to the question of whether Fred's tattoo was intended to be an image of Charlie. Does this mean that the tattoo's likeness to Charlie happened by accident? Was there an iconic image of Charlie (perhaps the "Charlie" from the puzzle title) upon which Fred's tattoo was based? | ||

So to recap, as I understand it: 1. Joe has a tattoo. Is it of a person? Of Charlie? Someone else? Something else? 2. Fred wants the same tattoo. 3. Mike makes the tattoo, but it turns out wrong. Was it intentional? A prank? Was it both Fred's and Mike's fault? does it look like someone else? Something else? Something embarrassing? 4. The tattoo is changed to an image of Charlie. Does Mike make the change? One of the others? Someone else? 5. It's not what Fred wanted, but good enough that he won't [sue?] Joe and Mike. | ||

[LTPF list of decades] during which Charlie's movies were made, please. See the next answer Is it Charlie Chaplin? Yes The FA, was it that Charlie did not perform in the movies? Or that Charlie hailed from the USA, but his movies weren't always filmed there? Neither. I was possibly nitpicking but the FA was about the present tense of the verb "perform" as he, obviously, is already dead. You gave a 'No' to the question of whether Fred's tattoo was intended to be an image of Charlie. Does this mean that the tattoo's likeness to Charlie happened by accident? No, it doesn't. Perhaps it would have been better to answer "Yope". See my answers to Galfisk below - although Fred's tattoo now IS an image of Charlie, it was originally intended to be something else. Was there an iconic image of Charlie (perhaps the "Charlie" from the puzzle title) upon which Fred's tattoo was based? Yes So to recap, as I understand it: 1. Joe has a tattoo. Yes Is it of a person? Yes Of Charlie? No Someone else? Yes Something else? No 2. Fred wants the same tattoo. Yes 3. Mike makes the tattoo, but it turns out wrong.Yes Was it intentional? Yes A prank? Yes Was it both Fred's and Mike's fault? No does it look like someone else? Something else? Yes Something embarrassing? Yes indeed 4. The tattoo is changed to an image of Charlie. Yes Does Mike make the change? Yes One of the others? No Someone else? No 5. It's not what Fred wanted, but good enough that he won't [sue?] Joe and Mike. Exactly so. Your understanding is very accurate. It now remains to establish: - what was the original image on Fred's back, - and how come Mike tattooed it first. | ||

When you say the image of Charlie, do you mean an actual picture of Charlie? or something that represents him? If the former: is it of Charlie's head? his whole body? is he wearing his hat? carrying his cane? Is it relevant whether the tattoo was on Fred's lower or upper back? did Mike give him a tail? Was the image Mike did originally a rude one? eg. genitals, middle finger etc.. or just embarrassing for Fred? Why Mike tattooed it: something about Fred's physical appearance? something about his character? something Fred said? | ||

Hmmm... Has Fred been hitting on Joe? Like courting him? Definitely not. Like attacking him? Possibly. Has Joe reason to be offended with Fred? Yes (or at least he thinks so) Does Joe think that Fred has been "behaving like a dick" towards him? Very probably. No need to know the exact cause, just that Joe was cross with Fred. Would it help to find out what Joe's tattoo was, and why Fred wanted the same one? Not really. The only reason was that Fred liked Joe's tattoo. You said it would help to know their social circle: are they upper class? middle? lower? This Is their field artistic? performing arts related? scientific? sporty? Neither Would it be helpful to know what Joe's tattoo was? See above Was it the case that Joe was upset/annoyed that Fred wanted to get the same tattoo as Joe, so Joe convinced Mike to give Fred a 'different' tattoo? Joe did convince Mike to do the tattoo but not for this reason. I think you've guessed enough for me to publish the ***************SPOILER**************** Joe, Fred and Mike are petty criminals. Joe is tattooed all over his body, and he has a picture of a curvy nude girl on his chest. Fred likes it very much and wants to have the same tattoo. Joe promises that he would arrange it with his tattoo artist. However, Fred previously had a quarrel with Joe who still has a grudge against him. So, Joe convinces Mike the tattoo artist to play a prank on Fred. Mike tells Fred that his chest is too hairy for him to do the tattoo and that it has to be on his back. Instead of anaesthetics, they give Fred alcohol; when he is completely drunk, he falls asleep and Mike tattoos the symbol of male genitals on his back instead of the promised girl. When Fred gets home and looks in the mirror, he is appalled. He calls the police and (I especially liked this bit) tells them that he had a larger-than-life penis and testicles on his back. Fred then sues Joe and Mike, and the court orders that they should remedy what they've done. Mike offers to change the offending picture to one of Charlie Chaplin, and Fred agrees that he would drop the case. I leave to your fertile imagination what did Mike do to the original picture. Thank you all for participating in this puzzle. Thanks to you, it went very fast and that's something I like. | ||
