0 Guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Seth was tense? I kinda wish it was. The solution is less elegant than that... eight letters, four for first name, one for last name initial, three for emotion (which I realize limits it to sad and mad, so I'll go ahead and say, yep, the little boy is sad) However, there is a specific way to get to the solution... so I'm hoping it will be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Uh, there is no M for mad. There is no mad. I just meant, the only three letter emotions I can think of off the top of my head are mad and sad. I gave away that the emotion is going to be three letters... so I went ahead and said, it's sad.

0 deannaart Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Man this thing is melting my brain. I really think it's on the wrong forum. I'm trying to follow along, but it's feeling a little like the blind leading the blind. Certainly not to say any thing bad about the riddle itself!!!! Fine riddle. My brain is just misplaced in this one I guess. Good luck Lotus and Glycerine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably better classified as "ciphers" but I think that this category is the closest. I have seen other ciphers posted here before. Woah! I just posted a cross topic hint.

Obviously don't have to answer if it will ruin it, but I just don't know where to go. What confuses me is how one of the answers can be SAD when only two of those letters are in the "Given letters." So, what do the "given letters" have to do with the given words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
