Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) TEQUILA Going out on a limb...fancy using a word from a prior guess It just had to be the last hypothesis that I tried didn't it WORKING=x and POSSUMS=o means that no O can be present Thus: P?SSUMS=o means 0 or 1 S so STAPLE?=oooo No Os so, SPIT??N=oo means SP?T???= or =o or =oo If max for SP?T???=oo then STAPLE?=oooo means ??A?LE=oo or =ooo and thus SP?T???=o or =oo (and not none) As ??A?LE=oo or =ooo means that ?P??IN?=oo or =o (as no Os) Combo of SPIT??N=oo and ?P??IN?=oo or =o means that S??T???= or =o As SP?T???=o or =oo (and not none) and S??T???= or =o (not both) This along with POSSUMS=o means that either: (1) Only P must exist (no T or S); or (2) Only S must exist (no T or P); or (3) Both P & T must exist (no S); or (4) Only T must exist (no P or S). (1) Can be disallowed because if no S or T & only P then POSSUMS=o means no OSTUM and thus ELA??IN=ooooo with ??APLE?=oooo, means ELAPIN are all required OPALINE=xooo is incompatible as the word should have score 6 with only O invalid (2) Can be disallowed because the logical outcome would be that valid letters would be SALE (due to S?A?LES=oooo) and either I (5th) or N (6th) not both due to combo of WORKING=x, S?A?LES=oooo and ELAS?IN=ooooo and two other letters. The two other letters cannot be PTWORKGUMCR nor a second S. Additionally, the word must not start or end with S due to STAPLES=oooo. Only one word even approaches that criteria but fails due to a G = LASAGNE. (3) Can be disallowed because if true SPITOON=oo excludes SOIN and If SOIN were excluded OPALINE=xooo would require ?PAL??E=xooo whereas STAPLES=oooo would require ?TAPLE?=ooo which are incompatible. (4) Means ?TA?LE?=oooo and ELA?TIN=ooooo and thus valid letters are TALE and either I (5th) or N (6th) not both due to this and WORKING=x One additional valid letter from OUM is gleaned from ?O??UM?=o Edited February 18, 2011 by WombatBreath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabpig Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) weekend - ooo cricket - ooo (looking forward to the ICC WC, fabpig?) O yeh. Our first game against the might of Holland. (I think they beat us in the past!) To all non cricket-lovers.....If you get the chance, watch Virender Sehwag bat for India. It might just convert you. Hopefully, that's just cursed him.

fabpig Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 luckily See you've got Zimbabwe 1st. Didn't they embarrass you a couple of years back? My reverse psychology hex on Sehwag didn't exactly work, did it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabpig Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) tendril - singular this time! and I think Shane Watson is probably one of few in the Aussie side that will make it as world class. and the only reason Fosters comes out of Australia is coz even the Aussies won't drink it! There. Upset 2 in 1 fell swoop. Woohoo.
