plainglazed Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 As promised or as threatened, even I cant tell for sure. Solve the couplets below then a twist will tell you more. Spare me, please, take it easy before you again run out. A possible wartime requirment, to serve the troops no doubt. Terribly annoying maybe but it's best to keep still. Recover all the quicker, with me you surely will. Watch and watched too closely, yet into this you fell. Nothing from the looks of it, danger can this spell. It's best to take stock, e'en the toughest days. Better times ahead, but for now its me that pays. Nose is bent out of joint, so maybe its like these. Frustrated expectations, insult me won't you please. To the showers, to your room, to bed, and then to sleep. On a mission, flying, away but heaven can you reap?

0 Guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 this seems like it has something to do with football...is this a day in the life of a professional football player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 progress, but i don't think that's right....I have a feeling it might have something to do with the seasons? starting w/ spring - shower; summer - room(doing something fun/games); Fall - going to bed(double meaning(also getting ready for winter)); Winter - sleep - pretty self-explanatory Very well thougt out and quite plausible. Unfortunately, it's not where I'm coming from. Please keep at it. R.I.P. Wooden Hill Time. G'night. nope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Straight? I'm really running out of inspiration for the last one. Keep coming back to it but still haven't come up with a good guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wilson Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's got to be SENT? The stats are in my favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's got to be SENT? The stats are in my favour. Congratulations, quite well done, complete is now the lot. But one thing still remains, to the answers that you've got. This one's a little different, that I must confess. But something's still the same, I can say, as both the rest. ration, splint, trance, dividend, snub, sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DudleyDude Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 That you don't really need those extra n's... Rations - n = Ratios Splint - n = Split Trance - n = Trace Dividend - n = Devided Snub - n = Sub Sent - n = Set So my first guess for a final answer would be Mathematics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the title give you any help? As for the final answer, the trace bit doesnt quite jive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the final answer, the trace bit doesnt quite jive. no, I didn't even get it until you mentioned it. And even then I had to read it twice As for my "math" answer, I thought that the "split" would be the problem. A "trace" is used in linear algebra so it is a math term, although not probably widely known. I'll keep thinking for a better answer.

0 plainglazed Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Statistics? I guess that works, not what I'm thinking of though. If this draws out I'll concede hopefully before it gets too anticlimactic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 architect? Now that's a different direction than I anticipated on and an interesting one at that. Can see how the six could all be relevent to your guess. The word I'm looking for is more synonymous with each (ok, if you combine the last two).
