0 plainglazed Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hey dD, been gone for awhile but have enjoyed in pieces from the sidelines... singular prof's helpers owe follower Mr. Lange -- split up over bond startups singular prof's helpres = TA(s) owe follower = P (as in the letter after O) Mr. Lange = Artie = RT bond startups = OO(7 as in Bond, James Bond) split up over puts OO in RT = ROOT TAPROOT? nailed this one... averages doubly halved averges = PAR doubly = EE; halved = E PARE? different kind of average here Cut and pasted the above from your BIG riddle. averages doubly halved averges = MUS as in the Greek letter often used in statistics for average; plural doubly = EE; halved = E MUSE? Family as in "Royal" Family so maybe just KING? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
