0 CaptainEd Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Plainglazed, you’ve added even more mystery to rocdocmac’s puzzle.

0 CaptainEd Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I need a better Babelfish; I feel like the character Easy in Cahoots Macbeth. It is very funny seeing both of you (and presumably the rest of the Den) know what you’re talking about, while I am clueless. Thanks for trying to help, Rocdocmac. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rocdocmac Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Plainglazed ... Reveal hidden contents 5 is correct. Answer the second sequence too and then we can reveal the reasons why. 2nd one a bit trickier, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rocdocmac Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) That's one possibility! Reveal hidden contents Depending on language: CH (Scottish/German ”ch”), Χ (Greek chi/Russian xa), Ĥ (Esperanto), phonetic χ or Š (Croatian), phonetic ʃ Edited April 20, 2019 by rocdocmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I must admit I am also incredibly lost... Reveal hidden contents Does it have something to do with the pronunciation of the number with the given letter/phonemes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rocdocmac Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Reveal hidden contents In the first instance (E I S H 5), 4 letters plus one numeral occur in the sequence. No pronunciation involved. In the second case (T M O CH 0), "CH" is not a pronunciation, but merely a representation of the digraph "ch". Three letters, one digraph and one numeral involved. I called the original OP an interjection sequence since the word "eish" (pronounced "aysh") incidentally appears in the sequence. It has nothing to do with the solution, however! You can google its meaning. Edited April 23, 2019 by rocdocmac part moved to spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CaptainEd Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Another derailed train of thought: Reveal hidden contents Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene, Hyperbolic(?), 5-dimensional (???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamebirde Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Reveal hidden contents something to do with unicode maybe? it can't have to do with the order of the letters of the alphabet...

0 Thalia Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Seems pretty obscure. Gave up and found it using Google.

0 flamebirde Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Seems I'm the only one left in the dark now... but I will perservere: Reveal hidden contents Latin/Greek alphabets?

0 Thalia Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) flamebirde Reveal hidden contents "language" in quotes.

0 Thalia Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 You figured it "ou"? Lol. Just caught on to Captain Ed's hint. Was wondering why that wording was nagging at me... If you didn't get it, I was going to recommend listening to the song Message in a Bottle. That ending aught to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
