However when all of the riddle is solved we will learn of a differnt word for sight. Nope. Each answer has a common thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of what an orator gives. And also where a republican stands on the political spectrum. No. The creative side does control/support the left hand, but this question is talking about a means to support that creative side. No. Although in the vernacular, saturation implies a draining of mental faculties, saturation is used here in the traditional sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 peepul Spoiler for the tree: The peepul or pipal tree is absolutely the type of tree that this was. The personfication bit is what is missing. The tree was called the Bodhi tree. Bodhi is a Pali and Sanskrit word for "awakened". It is said that Siddhartha came up with the Nobel Truths and the subject of this puzzle underneath such a tree. just guessing on some of the right theme words... 1. vista on the starboard side - 2 words right view Spoiler for 1: Correct! 2. legal guarantee with an anticipated outcome - 2 words right purpose or intent/ion Spoiler for 2: Correct: right intention 3. what comes out of a Republican orators mouth - 2 words right speech Spoiler for 3: Correct! 4. doing something per homophonic rite - 2 words right actions Spoiler for 4: Correct! 5. means to support the creative side of the brain - 2 words right thinking Spoiler for 5: Nope.

0 Guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 #5 RIGHT inspiration good try, but looking for a different word. It's what we call the things that people do to survive and support themselves. 9 letters #8 RIGHT density I'll accept~ Right concentration. This answer will make more sense in the context of the big picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
