0 Guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Patrick Roi perhaps? I would guess a hockey puck to be the cause of his toothache. But he's a goalie, so the mask would prevent that, so maybe a fist or two? This here is a nice piece of riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shakeepuddn Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks grayven. Patrick roi . . . No. Look up meaning of Roi, go for a name. That part is just a clue (though it will easily lead to the riddliculous answer if if you can deconstruct it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part is just a clue (though it will easily lead to the riddliculous answer if if you can deconstruct it). Louis XIV suffered from just about every ailment known to man. Syphilis, gangrene, tapeworm, gout - you name it, he had it. I'd wager chronic toothache was among his many afflictions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shakeepuddn Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Yes on Scotland. Louis . . . no, but right track. Nothing math. All English and literature related. Can be straight relation as in: "Jetson head folliage" = George Bush or with a phonetic twist, as in: "single soldier house for a sweet home without an Al" = barrack abama (Obama) This should ease it up.

0 Shakeepuddn Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Wow! I figured if you guys (and girls) could decipher combo meal, no problem. I guess there’re more mathheads than linguists here. Ok, maybe some clarification is in order: The intro is nothing to the riddle, it’s just a quip about hopping back and forth from periodic table to math table figuring out Yor-ichi-san’s (your itchy son) combo meals, and about how mild and easily slain my first riddles were. My original deconstruction, though tagged on first reply, is an example of what’s required. (Cartesian infinitive = to be) Main riddle is looking for a work of literature: the title can be phonetically reconstructed from clues in section set off by asterisks. Just prior to, are clues as to author, basic plot, main character: “A seasonal put down . . .” Example of method for deciphering: “An article for climactic phenomena pertaining to conflict” An article (the) climactic phenomena (winds) pertaining to (of) conflict (war) Book: The Winds of War Each clue does not neccessarily equate to a single word. It could be a phonetic part. Watch for sequence. Easy . . . right?

If the agent is Mr. James Bond, then that would make the title "Of Human Bondage" making the author William Sommerset Maughham. The Season would be Summer, obviously. Still working out the details though. Very nice riddle! I tend to prefer these of the "math-free" variety. My math skills are well beyond rusty.
