Pinpoint #565 Walkthrough & Analysis
Puzzle Overview
Pinpoint 565 strings together #1Meetings, #2Class, #3Stones, #4Lines, and #5Ropes — a timeline that swerves from conference rooms to lecture halls, lakefronts, amusement parks, and playgrounds. The only connector sturdy enough for all five is the verb “skip”: you can skip a meeting, skip class, skip stones, skip the line, and skip rope.
How the Solution Emerged
Meetings, class, stones, lines, and ropes all tie back to common scenarios where you literally or figuratively skip something: skip a meeting, skip class, skip stones on water, skip the line, or skip rope. The repeated verb is the glue.
Common wrong guesses
Waiting in lines
Meetings and classes rarely involve queuing, so a line-focused connector ignores most clues.
Playground equipment
Only ropes qualify; meetings, classes, and queue-jumping aren’t pieces of equipment.
