You live in Killville. Can you stay alive?
bonanova replied to bonanova's question in New Logic/Math Puzzles
Hi marchawg and welcome to the Den. Nice job. Can you do this for an odd number of killers? -
Thirteen objects are buried in the following prose. Uncover them, then consider a place where all of them might actually be found. The bistro we lunched at threw us out when we asked for a key to the washroom. Showing no mercy the waiter who ejected us mentioned his plan to call the law next, if we didn't pay for ketchup we'd ordered. My wife responded angrily, saying she didn't order ketchup, her soup was putrid, and her fish rubbery. She added that she would rank the chef lower than any other in his occupation.

FWIW - It's the type of spiral whose radius increases linearly with angle. The Archimedean spiral: r = a + bθ

Because I admit that's a possibility. Def a fav. If something compelling does not come up by week's end, I'll call this one solved. Nice one in any event.

So I'm writing this wordlist puzzle, as I did once before. This time, as I'm ignoring a slightly painful reminder of an afternoon visit to my dentist, I list ten kind-of random words on a sheet of paper. I notice that I've listed a bench * JC a case * HK a degree * JC a knife * HK a sensei * HK <-- corrected spelling a thief * HK a tube * CL some mentors * HK and I've also pulled something off * JC charged something * CL As before, I let my pencil slice through the list, twice, dividing each word into three parts of lengths 1, 2, 3 or 4 letters. I sort the parts by length and alphabetize them. When I find there are 11 4-letter parts, I split one of them into equal halves. Then I see that each of the words has an ACHE in it! What are the odds? A subliminal tribute to my dentist, no doubt. Anyway, here are the pieces. A B D D M R R R S T [10] AT CO IM PE PO TE TE TR [8] BLE DET LOR [3] ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE ACHE [10] I reassembled the words and noted that if I re-arrange the 2nd letters of the words, I get something that Bill wrote. What is it? * CL

I wonder if this would suggest the answer?

Way to go!
