0 tiger_lily111 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Nothing still. Sorry, we seem to be down to some of the more difficult ones! Maybe I'll have to modify or add some information if people are still stuck tomorrow ... I hope you're still having fun though! Keep trying! (Remember, if at first you don't succeed ... hack into it and make it right!) Edit for: Athena, your answer for #13 isn't right, but it *was* one I thought of putting in!

0 tiger_lily111 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ha, and for "evening" I meant Left Coast of USA, even though I'll be in the south east. So for some of you it would definitely be "tonight" ... or tomorrow. Sorry for any confusion! Will update the thread when I am able, thanks for your patience!

0 Guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So to recap again: Answered: 1, 3, 4, 5 (both), 7, 9, 11, 12 Unanswered: 2, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15 8. Intimate/imitate? 10. Sorry/sorrow! 13. Grievous/egregious? 14. Intimate/imminent? For 12, I had to use an online dictionary to find a definition of "booby" that wasn't blue-footed. Turns out it can also mean a stupid person. That would've been very ironic had it's definition been "an ignorant person." My guess for 12: Crass/class? My own mini riddle for you! 13 modified: He ______ took offense at such ______ actions Surely/Surly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
