0 plainglazed Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey Jkb and Wilson, sorry I've neglected this one. Yesterday being a "holiday" here, am expected to squeeze two days of work into one. Had intended to much earlier give some direction. This is more of a puzzle than a riddle. One where there will be a list of answers. The "endless chain" of words just obfuscates where each "clue" starts. May give some more ideas about the structure but am thinking it will become evident after two are solved next to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I first thought that you maybe took normal riddles and then ran them through an online translator and then back again into English but I couldn't figure anything out by thinking that way. And Wilson's guess of 'nine' made me think of Lennon saying 'number nine' over and over in Revolution 9 (Beatles on my mind today ) so I thought maybe a list of song titles that have been double translated but I couldn't find much that way either. So I decided to move on to maybe cryptic clues since they tend to be weirdly worded anyway. It's a big stretch, but it's all I have at the moment. Is not necessary a bit of closed a bit of closed -> cLOSEd -> lose is not necessary (i.e., is unneeded) ->lose lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey DD-not that, in fact, there really are not any cryptic construction style/charade-like play on words at all in this one. Cool idea re the online translator but not that either. And not the song title list. Good thoughts all, please keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Does all the clues or obfuscated begin with "the". I have a question, if your able to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Of course you can ask the question or any other. None of the clues start with the word "the". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 cellular invertion= groutokkie...... nope, the other one. closed orb=not repeated, about chess= moves heavenward=upward in the barricade=caught, stopped deeply inhale=gasp, breathe researcher is not nessary=known this particular instance= now And.. sorry Jkb, none of those. gonna say this but dont give it much mind until later or the end - half of the interpretation is half right for the heavenward interpretation(s). A race/runner? not that Wilson. there is a theme for this list but it is very general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hugemonkey Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 these are idioms or common sayings that have synonyms or misinterpretations substituted? kinda dehyrated per calcified remain = dry as a bone (or bone dry) in the lead about chess heavenward = check up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 poke with a trident thus kaput = fork over? Awesome catch HM, I've been staring at these since he first posted and couldn't come up with anything. that "Put a fork in it, it's done" might be a better interpretation.
