Re: Enigma Machine #20

Hey, Hugh...I just got this copied. #1 is Too little, Too late, #2 is small talk, #6 is "pipe down!" ,#8 is tickled pink, #9 is "three strikes, you're out!", #3 (I think!) is either "the sheep family"...or family of sheep. Have ideas on some others, but will bow out now...to allow Ranald, & Rick a chance!!! Joan

[Hugh]

Your #3 is not quite right, but it is about family. All the rest are 100%, so congratulations on them.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #20

Thanks to Joan for breaking the ice (and picking up all the easy ones)! I'll try #3 - Black Sheep in the Family; #4 -Running a Little Behind; and #12 - (At) This Point in Time. Has anyone heard from Ranald lately?

[Hugh]

Good tries Rick. #4 & #12 are perfect but could you add a little to #3? Well done again and I guess we have lost Ranald.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #20

Good grief.... he's back !

3: the ram and ewe are family of sheep

5: solar energy

6: down the pipe

11: With a little luck

11: one sugar please.

Ranald or his ghost ;)

[Hugh]

Glad to see you back Ranald, I thought we had lost you. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #20

Excuse me will I smack myself on the head for number 7, but I can always claim I had it, but couldn't log in. It looks like we're all up and running again, so off to #21!

Re: Enigma Machine #20

Hugh... Doug has sent me copies of the Enigma puzzles so I have now created a page for them at http://www.electriccanadian.com/lifestyle/enigma

My intention is to add the ones up to 20 very quickly and then I'll start adding them once a week to match with your postings in here. I thought this might help get more people coming in to try them out. I'd also mention each issue as it comes out in the newsletter.

And on that basis I'm wondering if I should create a sub forum under this one dedicated to the Enigma Machine?

I currently have up the first 9 puzzles and as Doug has now sent me 10 - 20 I'll try and get these up tomorrow.
