Re: Enigma Machine #28

HI, Hugh...

Just opened & printed this off. #3 is "look before you leap". #6 is "few & far between". #8 is "I'm underpaid"
Need to peruse the others at length, before trying again.

Thanks, Joan

[Hugh]

You are 100% right again Joan. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #28

Rick and Ranald, where are you? Now is your big chance, Joan is busy and there are a number of easy ones to do.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #28

Thanks to Hugh for checking up on me! I'm just back after a month under the big skies of southern Saskatchewan with sporadic internet access, so am a little rusty, but here goes to add to Joan's good work: #5 - According to Hoyle (A cord in two Hoyle: clever!); #10 - One step forward, two steps back; #11 - parallel universe; #12 - Feeling on Top of the World".

[Hugh]

That would be 100% Rick, glad to see you back, Hope B.C. is sunny enough fo you.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #28

Thanks Hugh, BC is much sunnier than Saskatchewan this year! I really am rusty tho', and can only add #9 - "Monster Prize" this morning. I've been looking at something like "Capitalization" for #2 and "Re-doer" or "Red Door" for #4, but they don't seem quite right so I'll just put them out there for now! Have a good day!

[Hugh]

Your #9 is correct but the others are going to need work Rick. Maybe it's time for Ranald to make a contribution.

Cheers,

Hugh

[Rick]

Re: Enigma Machine #28

Yes Ranald and Joan, I'm definitely floundering now. But maybe #2 - "Capitalization".

[Hugh]

Maybe not Rick, I have a different answer for #2. Colour is important.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #28

HI, all...Just back today....With that hint above, I'd say.....#2. is "pollution" (i.e. Blue SHUN?)

Joan

[Hugh]

Close Joan but no cigar, maybe your next try will get it. I think Ranald could have gotten this if he tried.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #28

Egads Hugh, #2 - Ablution! Serves me right for being cheap on the toner when I print these off. Thanks!
