Aww phillip, It's taken me 7 months to get 1 of Supe's puzzles (it took me 6.5 months to understand one), an I thought I'd finally dragged him down to my level. Then you introduce that.

So easy with NINE WINES inside you.

Hey, sorry - missed you out, peacey (this goes back to the nicknames thing - if you've a monosyllabyllic name, people add 'y' or 'ie' to your name to make it more nicknamey.) Yes I know Peace*out isn't, but everybody calls you 'peace'. Now and again, I think I'm fab as well. Thankyou. And a very nice picture it is, too (yours I mean).

WOW, thanks! I'm guessing that people don't realise they're mispronouncing. I remember listening to a radio show about nuclear power and the DJ pronounced it "nukular". One lady emailed in to complain about his mispronunciation and he read it out: "The word is 'nukular', not 'nukular', as you're pronouncing it!" (Spells it out) "'N-U-C-L-E-A-R', - 'nukular'".

"It should be 'LION', not 'loin'", she screamed. "they SING 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'. Well you can forget that, mate".

Hi Brain Star....Welcome to th den. Unforunately, this particular riddle was last accessd over 3 years ago, and I suspect the then participants are no longer aorund......
-
Hey Wom, no need to take 5 off yourself and Thal beat me to the logic, so I don't deserve 5 either. Yeah the logic was a bit loose, but I think everyone that saw it understood it. Anyway let's try BRASSY

This has been posted at least once before. (and responses are rarely as quick as you're expecting - especially with USA still in bed). And you spilt some crap on your avatar.
-
I'd much rather you thought of me looking sorta fab like The avatar goes with the name. And the name comes from..........ah, well, thereby hangs another thread.
-
USA is still asleep.......plus you've posted it as 'solved'

CLOWNS - if 0 then R is 2nd bcos cRowns = 1

Totally agree with your observations Aaryan. When I see Wolfgang's avatar, I think of somebody incredibly intelligent, yet completely gentle (I think it's a caricature of Albert Einstein, btw) - there is no way you could get annoyed with this guy. When I first saw Maurice's avatar ( now signature picture), thought of him as Mr T - and especially this advert - heh heh - and substituted the Snickers bar for a board eraser he was throwing at his students.......now I know he's just a pussycat. Superprismatic's looks a bit futuristic, yet intelligent. K-man's and DudleyDude's look very simplistic - but they want you to be their friends, by the very fact that they're almost child-like (the avatars, not them personally!). I'm sure others can come up with other examples.

I appreciate that's not what you meant. Just being facetious (and getting it in before anybody else did )

The thing that needs defining is "AT THE SAME SPEED".. Des this mean revolutions/time period, or distance travelled at surface/time period.
-
The 2 are just about homophonous in Strine .....now I realise what Steph meant when she said she'd been down on the dick. (neighbours).

Further to the above about AutoHotkey: It starts up - and runs in the background - when you start your PC. This is to enable the Scripts to run (it's considered non-intrusive). Go to MSCONFIG to disable the startup. It's portable: AutoHotkey provide a compiler which will convert your Scripts to an EXE file which will run on any PC, even if AutoHotkey isn't installed on it. And, no, I'm not an AHK salesman! (if you can sell something that's free) I just like it.

CHANGELESSNESS

POTENTIOMETERS Hardest part is counting how many letters in your guess.....

My 2 cents. I started programming way back when, using languages such as PL/I, REXX, various SCRIPT shells, etc. Since I turned to PC programming, I've tried several languages with varying degrees of satisfaction. I find JAVA messy, but have friends who love it. I've written a few macro's for EXCEL/OpenOffice spreadsheet and didn't much like it to start, but must admit that it grew on me. I'm currently doing most of my new stuff using AutoHotKey. I wouldn't consider it 'elegant' (getting used to how-to-assign-variables is a PitA) , but have got to really like it - the further I dig, the more function it seems to have. (and it's FREE!) I think what I'm saying is this. Programming language is a personal preference. Some languages you'll like immediately. Some might grow on you. Some you'll never like. But try as many as you can.

Hi Nick, Dunno if this is any help: errmsglink
