    C'est juste! C'est toi qui est arrive d'un pays francophone, et c'est toi qui reconnait bien des escargots! Gastropod it is, folks, I DID promise it would give that slug-a-bed GMaster a run for his money... WilsonsMum will feed you something more appealing, I suspect.

    kaolin : town in PA : Punxsutawney : groundhog (+2) I used to live in Monroeville and later in Pittsburgh, but I enjoyed names like King of Prussia and Deposit (accent on the DEP), but, as an aficionado of Native American names, little can rival Punxsutawney.

    It's beginning to look like greatly increased global worker productivity--either that or people are tired of 9-letter words. At any rate, I'm leaving in about 45 minutes for the weekend. If you want to have some Masterword fun between before Monday, just skip over my word (and GMaster's lone querying post) and make another word. If nothing happens in the next 45 minutes, there's no reason to play on my word.

    Just my two cents' worth: KISS, and please stay and play. You've got your score up within striking distance; there are four players who could win. You even have time to play!

    It's two days later, Palmer is really a slug-a-bed! Here, I've got a 9-letter word that ought to give Palmer a run for his money:
  17. If I read your answer right, you're saying that the OP is really a trick question, where 10-shot and 11-shot don't matter. You never know with these puzzlemakers, it could be :-) Personally, I suspect that the OP was intended to be a real question, where 10-shot vs. 11-shot might matter as well as who shoots first. So I interpreted it as meaning the warden puts a bullet in a chamber, spins the chambers (the cylinder, I guess), and hands the gun to the first shooter. Therefore, I'm convinced by chicory that going first with the 11-shot is best, and going last with the 11-shot is worst, with any position with the 10-shot being intermediate. So, if I could choose first, I'd avoid the 11-shot (as my opponent would choose to shoot first). I'd either choose the 10-shot, and guarantee the intermediate chances, or choose to go first (and hope my opponent would accidentally choose the 11-shot).
  18. Thank you, I certainly couldn't figure out the right answer without getting the math right (after all, my choice changed from post 18 to post 19). A couple of the others picked C, though. But I'm not that clear thinking.
  19. Assuming I've done my math AND coding correctly,
