    Just to let you all know, one of the ILites solved it through a private message. Please pay attention to the words in my last two messages.

    Please ignore #8594 above as it is supposed to have been posted in Positivity thread. I don't like anyone to assume that is a clue.

    Since one ILites has already solved my Puzzle, I will wait until tomorrow evening and then post my answers unless I hear from someone to wait.

    Answer to Puzzle #8582

    [​IMG]

    Now it is time to get the cat out of the bag. The answer is

    Boeing CST-100 Starliner

    Row 1 - Image 1 - This image was specifically created to make it easier for women. It is eye liner to indicate the word "Liner" in the answer.

    Row 1 - Image 2 - Atlas statue image is to indicate the Starliner is put in the space through ULA Atlas V rocket at 6:36 a.m. Friday, Dec. 20, 2019.

    Row 1 - Image 3 - The Big Ben is to indicate that Starliner did not dock with International Space Station because of the clock issue it encountered.

    Row 1 - Image 4 - The famous Chatrpathi Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai which faced a terrorist attack in the last decade. The short form "CST" gives away part of the name of the answer.

    Row 2 - Image 1 - Boeing aircraft is to indicate the first part of the full name "Boeing".

    Row 2 - Image 2 - $100 bills are to indicate "100" in the name.

    Row 2 - Image 3 & 4 - To provide a clue that the answer is something to do with micro-gravity. These two images are how the flame behaves in gravity and it would behave in micro-gravity. This famous images might have been seen by many

    Row 2 - Image 5 - Stars to indicate part of the name.

    Row 2, Image 5+ Row 1, Image 1 = Star+liner = Starliner

    Row 2, Image 1 + Row 1, image 4 + Row 2, Image 2 + Row 2, Image 5 + Row 1, Image 1 = "Boeing CST-100 Starliner"

    Since it was put into space only on December 20, 2019, it is not necessary to go too far into the history.

    Hint 1 - tagging @kkrish to indicate it is something to do with space.

    Hint 2 - The word "space" used in one of my posts above.

    Hint 3 - Seeking attention Row 2, Image 3 & 4 to indicate micro-gravity.

    Credit: @kkrish solved it through private message. Thanks Kamala for making me feel good that this puzzle is something solvable.

    All answers are in one place here Boeing CST-100 Starliner - Wikipedia.


    Thanks for trying this puzzle and I hope everyone enjoyed solving this puzzle. Wish you a wonderful 2020.

    thank you @Viswamitra
    Tagging me was a clue I did catch on. :) The Boeing plane and the stars also led me to think in that direction.
    Wishing you and your family a Happy 2020!
