Prisoner 1 chooses a card to keep. The choice must be made in a way that enables the other four cards to signal the suit and value of the kept card.

Next time I'll read the OP. Got half of them ...

Hi Mitchman95, Another interesting text of this type has a number of "of"s and asks the reader to count all the "f"s. Usually overlooked are the "f"s in the "of"s. Enjoy the boards. Since this is not a riddle / puzzle I'm moving it to "Others".

Asked, answered, debated, joked and repeated. And closed ...

Hey ... I may be a moderator, but I don't have standards. <_<

I feel for you man ... look at the fame and glory you could have received

Easy on the political satire Besides, Dub-ya does that nucular word spot-on.

Altho it rhymes, and won't fit clue 2 ... nonetheless, I give this to you ..

Can't be, but has to be guessed:

Check yer arithmetic in the spoiler....

Yes!!! On the record-setting 157th post of the competition ... Nikyma closes out the competition with [9]! And almost gets to be on top of the competition, so to speak. Final tally: Itachi-san - 7 Nikyma - 6 LIS - 3 Vishmi - 3 akaslickster - 1 Great job everyone! Back in WWII days women joined the war effort as SPARS WAC WASP and WAVES. Here's evidence.

Once a puzzle is solved it might be moved to a forum of Solved Puzzles. That decision would only have to be made once, by the OP or a moderator. Solved puzzles would still be accessible and perhaps debated. Members simply would be pre-informed that the solution is not still being sought. The current forum might then be called Active Puzzles. Chestnuts would remain a problem undiminished from the current state, but no one [including moi] seems to know of preventive measures. Leave that as a separate issue for now. The spate of resurrection of old threads seems to have been contemporaneous with the sudden popularity of the Brainden Gadget - bless it for bringing many visitors who become members to the site. But I'm wondering whether the gadget feeds a random sample of "whatever is there" [including the ancient stuff] to new users, who then simply respond to the OP without inspecting the entire thread to see whether it's been solved. If so, the gadget could be made to operate only within the Active Puzzles forum, and some of the rehash might be avoided. - bn

Nope.

Diet pizza and the already posted solution works just fine. Locked. Premature ... Keeping the thread open. My bad ...

Yes. How did you get this? Yer way too young!

Vishmi has the penultimate word [12] This was definitely a "back in the =50s" word. Does Butch Wax ring a bell? Good job.

Excellent! Great job.

The latter. There are four cases.

Yes! Great job. I at first was going to use "flush" but that was too suggestive of hand. Straight seemed to be pretty good camoflage. LIS has [4]!

Nope. Why are you waving at lesbos?
