Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 googly! (a cricket bowling delivery that curves opposite the expected, cool!) Using your own spreadsheet, MrEd, "googly" would render this: eraser : __ editor : o senses : __ yogurt : xoo jockey : xx yesman : o kungfu : x cooler : xxo sniper : __ pumpup : __ cowboy : xxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainEd Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, after I posted, I saw that if it doesn't have a C, it has a J--leaves googly out. And I only tossed in googol to check on the possibility of 3 o's--it's the only word that came to mind with 3 of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[looks around for wild geese] Telling you what is wrong with that statement would give it all away, unfortunately. I am happy to know that I can manage to confuse top notch "thesaurians" such as yourself. (I'm sure there's a word for vocabulary buffs, but it escapes me.)

Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 new problem: googol = x, cooler = xxo but we know there is no g, e or r, so c,o,o,l has to be at least 3 but o,o,o,l is only 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainEd Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) WM: oooh, aaah! we've been sitting on it all this time... Grayven: Good choice, and very educational. I was careful to check for the possibility of multiple Os, but neglected multiple Cs, as you thought we might! (By the way, "googol" has been a word since 1938, and was known to kids reading puzzle books in the 50's (I know, I was one)) Edited April 13, 2009 by CaptainEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 coccyx!!!!! Very good! I was almost set to give out a hint "bone up on your anatomy" or some such.

(By the way, "googol" has been a word since 1938, and was known to kids reading puzzle books in the 50's (I know, I was one)) I've gotten so used to "google" that I forgot how "googol" was spelled. I knew the word, but pop culture got me. "sitting on it..." Priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
