0 Guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) DEGREES A degree is the relative extent, amount, intensity, or level of something, especially when compared with other things, i.e., a judgement call A degree is also a unit of measurement for temperature, thus a judgement call when temperatures rise A degree is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/360 of a circle, a minute is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60 of a degree, hence down to the minute A degree is also an honor or title awarded by a university or college following the successful completion of a course of study, thus intelligent's prize Edited May 1, 2011 by Dej Mar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To floor someone is to baffle or bewilder them -- i.e., bedevil. Even on the surface, it may seem to bedevil A story is a floor or level in a building.

0 Guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 BEST "Father Knows Best" was an American radio then television comedy series in the 1940s. Something one's father knows, can nary be beat Best can mean better than all others. Best, as a verb, means to gain an advantage over or defeat an opponent. Nothing's better than that, even if in defeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in theory that matter hasn't gone unobserved ahh, clever. guess you know i'm not above sneaking in a homophone now and again. not this time, tho. this one's a little more cryptic; a form you are familiar with I suspect, due to one of your previous responses to One, Two, Red, Blue.

(2) D : DEGREE (3) E ? (4) F : FLOOR (6) G : GRADE (5) A ? (7) B : BEST The words, "degree", "floor", "grade", and "best" are also terms related to the word "scale". There's two ways to discover that which you need know Thence just a short while 'fore the final answer is so The last word of the clue, "so", is also the fifth syllablic note in the tonic sol-fa.

0 plainglazed Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 A few tries chair position tequila! get where you're coming from on the first one above but not quite where i am. the second one is not it but right there. the third, well, though it may be my answer on occasion, not this time.

0 Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Though the SCALE connection may have been coincidental with four of the clue answers, with the additional answers (if they are correct, and possibly still, if not) each do begin with a different letter of the first seven letters of the alphabet: 1 A : AHEAD 2 D : DEGREE 3 C : CITE 4 F : FLOOR 5 E : ENCHILDA 6 G : GRADE 7 B : BEST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Really like benjer3 and Wilson's responses for 3. They certainly fit well. Was hoping that "recognize" bit would better specify the answer for this clue. fabpig has my intended for this one. And Wilson's answer for 1. is really clever. Not mine tho am afraid. Starting to think this one may be a bit vague. At least the first line. I think I've seperated each different approach to the answers within the individual clues with commas. Had a comma after "manner" in this first one but could go either way I think. Am still liking clue 5. and think it's fair. Need to find a different key word to concentrate on and maybe the rest will follow. As a point of order you stand just above Schooled in a manner more superior guv A judgement call when temperatures rise Down to the minute, intelligent's prize - Degree by Dej Mar In this situation, you might recognize me Put it another way, here's where it'll be - Place by fabpig Even on the surface, it may seem to bedevil Yet you know that this story is on the level - Floor by Dej Mar With beans and cheese 'twas previously served And in theory that matter hasn't gone unobserved A determined quality, to replace in kind Any form of schooling, if I be so inclined - Grade by Dej Mar Something one's father knows, can nary be beat Nothing's better than that, even if in defeat - Best by Dej Mar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
