plainglazed Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Inquire, it's likely that this you will hear She's not the one, so the other, my dear. Whenever opportunity presents you might say Take it from me, it's not better this way. Announced like a pastimes appropriate host It's the smallest that often bugs you the most. Purposely left hanging, though still not a waste Those fresh too remark, all in good taste. On the surface there's not much for which to see When landing the big roll in this great tragedy. From each of the five you must now find one Still something's to do, before you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hi pg..... vice - lice......??? Hey back at you EDM - thanks for starting this one off - not what I have in mind for that one though. (I'm sure I already responded but maybe it didnt take or it's elsewhere or posted in the wrong place. Sorry for the delay, EDM, whatever happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EDM Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 is this a pow or just a straightforward confusing riddle??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 There are five mini-riddles (one per couplet) each with a one word answer and then the five answers are further involved in a puzzle to find the final answer. Each couplet might contain any numerous kinds of plays on words like homophones, puns, double entendres, etc. (reading them very literally can be helpful). Ultimately though, I would call them what am I's. Here are a couple of links to similar ones from before: PS - your second guess for the third couplet is on track...

0 plainglazed Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hey Wilson - Right on with your logic and in fact, your answer fits the clue better than mine. I was thinking more general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Mite? a wee bit bigger and I'm still torn over your answer for the forth couplet but cant say too much as it could effect the puzzle with the five answer words in the end.

You got me well whipped this time. Haven't got a scooby! in fact, I'd say you deserve a snack. You nailed the fourth one with HERBS (will elaborate on my shaggy issues with your first guess on this one when solved). Right on track for the third just need to justify the first half for which you are at a disadvantage, I think. Also some good stuff on the fifth. The first two I think are the hardest and require a different tactic than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
