0 hugemonkey Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I thought it was time for some hints for the outstanding ones. A fortnight is 14 days and nights. There are 14 puzzles, so these are all days, holidays and what-not. 1. Portrayer of B. Wilson, C. Wilson and K. Wilson yeilding. The B, C, and K stand for Buffy, Charlie, and Kip. 3. Nice Chip DateOne of these words is called something different in the US. 4. Teritory CrowderAdd the word "day" to the answer and you get another movie title. 6. Drop Jon's dog on a condiment briefly.Jon also has a cat. 10. Butter Square UprisingsThis holiday is only celebrated in MA, ME and WI. 11. Cart of WithdrawlThis is a bit of a stretch but think of synonyms. 13. Dirt Spin Span24 hours 14. Bunked OneEveryone's got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
