    The Case of the Missing Card ...

    [​IMG] <-- which playing card goes here ?
    Hint 1 : Clubs and Spades (the black suits) are shown in black, Diamonds and Hearts (the red suits) are shown in grey.
    Hint 2 : Each column follows the same pattern.
    Hint 3 : Each bottom card is the sum of the two above it.
    Hint 4 : are positive -
    are negative.

    :( so far still no solution found :(
    (and I don't think "merry go round" is right?) [if that would be right, sorry for being a spoilsport]

    I'm sticking with 'three little pigs' for the final square. :D

    The only one I'm having trouble with is stick. Still thinking about that one.

    I've been trying to work something around the capital letters and 'shift' (key).

    (I added the final two hints to the 'Missing Card' one.)

    Why do these two pictures actually show pretty much the same things ?

    Okay, the silence is deafening on this last one.

    Don't overthink it, just consider what you might call each picture. (The answer is worth the effort.)

    One hint - it would have been simpler if the terminal had been called a station instead.

    :)

    To me, the second picture looks like a crusty bus station.

    :( Sorry, nothing comes in mind for me, it looks to me like if this has to do with playing with words :(

    Okay, what if the first one looked like this :

    [​IMG]

    What does she look like ? What's being emphasized in both those pictures ?
