The Mystery of Alphabet
I recently visited Legoland, in California. One of my interesting memories of the trip turned out to be the long and winding road to get there. The road where I also came across this unique mystery. I saw solid, single letters of the alphabet, firmly fixed on the side of the road.
First I saw the letter "L" almost as big as the height of a christmas tree, "this could be fun for kids" I thought. Then came equally big, the letter "E", and then to my surprise the letter "C" (!) and the "O".
"ok ! its the mystery of a broken letter G, for LEGO" , I told myself.
But as I went on and waited for another L or an I, my eyes grew wider and wider with suspense and surprise. It was nothing like I expected. What did I see ?

Just to be the first comment i would say this has something to do with maybe the cities around the legoland
"But as I went on and waited for another L or an I,..."
After copying this into Word and changing the font, the second letter is a capital i, not a lower case L.
Why would they be looking for a letter i? Makes no sense to me.
Yeah, the i tripped me up too!
After looking at Google maps, there does appear to be 8 big letters on the road leading up to legoland, so i dont know why there would be a surprise on the second L. unless at that point you can see something in the park, like a hug rollercoaster?
A broken L ?
There was an 'S' and a 'D'.
It was closed.
but then it would say LECOSD, wouldn't it?
google street map is not enabled if only :)
check windows.live maps , you can see them, i think in birds eye view
I believe he was looking at it from the wrong direction, and it was "0)3J" the tail end of "F=e^-i(0)3j," which totally works, and is a helpful mathematical diving tip for anyone leaving Legoland.
Actually, I think it was French:
"Le coeur brûle,":"The heart burns."
Aha ! i can also see few of them in Windows Live Map , I am not sure how many are there
It was a long and winding road. Presumably it twisted left and right as well as up hill and down valley.
I still think it was "closed".
The letters will have been hidden from view and not necessarily been sighted in their intended order....
until, that is, a peak was reached and all was revealed, much to the dismay of the visitor.
What a great moment that would be...upon reaching the hill on which Legoland sits and gazing out on its broad vistas, finally the intriguing and seemingly random series letters are presented to you in their proper arrangement:
"CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE - PLEASE PICK UP A VOUCHER FROM THE BOOTH ATTENDANT FOR ONE (1) FREE VISIT TO LEGOLAND ETHIOPIA."
I have 2 ideas. The first, is that maybe it was something backwards. and the second, is just because he saw the "L" first doesn't mean it's the first letter. Or it could be both.
maybe an helicopter? L-E-CO?
maybe he saw legoland! it got nothing to do with the letters!
it was definately "closed" he wasnt looking at the "legoland" letters
But as I went on and waited for another L or an I, my eyes grew wider and wider with suspense and surprise. It was nothing like I expected. What did I see ?
He saw nothing.
leco is some kind of company i think. its an acrinum.
Are we ever going to get the answer to this 'cause... this bothers me.
Closed for the Season.
Answers? link in the home page says a week later teh answers will be posted
Was is tuesday or wendsday in january when he visited? if yes, then he read closedd
We visted there a few years ago and as I recall the letters spelled WELCOME. The description implies the L came first, but he only said he saw the L first, then the E. Then again the comment 'a broken G, for LEGO' seems to suggest the order was LECO, so maybe it is something else...
Chris you are a genius !
I could only be WELCOME
ok it was W E L C O M E jumbled
, thats the only thing which is possible
A mixed welcome, if you will!!
Haha.
Other than that, no idea. Hmm.....
I have elfengis about dan's answer
I dont have elfengis about it. I elfe that if this is one of those answers and not something neet or cool, im going to be upset. This one is bugging me, and i rally want to know the answer
I am quite sure the answer is W E L C O M E as said by everybody above.
Don't you agree HWDIV?
If the road was twisting and turning, then maybe it was welcome, but he saw the letters in a diffrent order, other than that my guess is that maybe it is an acronym for something.(example:FBI=federal bureau of investigation) maybe leco is a short form of something. i dunno.
It say swelcome we go there all of the time....
What the hell Raj?
It can't be welcome, it's in the wrong order and it doesn't explain the "suspense and surprise" and "nothing like I expected."
over two weeks with no solution?
Forget the "G"... it's this blog that's broken!
Sorry guys, been a bit tied up
