Re: Enigma Machine #46

A few comments Ranald. #2 what kind of makeup? Should #9 be plural? #10 what colour is the book. #8 is right on but #11 has nothing to do with barges. Good start Ranald!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #46

I'll try #5 - Forgery, #7 - But on Second Thought and #12 - Golden Rule. Nothing easy about the rest, is there!

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Having been GONE all day, you guys got the drop on me! #10 is "little black book". I had many others but someone got to them first.
Just got another....#3 "All about Eve". Perhaps #2 is "red lipstick".

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Rick you got all three and Joan got #3 and Ranald got #9. I figure that leaves #1, #2, #4, #6, #10 & #11. Keep going gang, you're doing great!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Hey, Hugh...I have been looking at this again. How about #2 "Red blush, or blusher", #11 "Grab bar". Thanks,

Joan

[Hugh]

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Sorry Joan, #2 has more to do with amount than colour and #11 is real grabber but how many and in which direction? Keep on trying Joan, you will get it eventually.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #46

HI, Hugh...OK, here goes....#2 is "great big makeup" (or something like.) # 11 is "1 large grabber, 3 small grabbers". I think my largest problem with these is that a male person "invented" them!! heh, heh.... Joan

[Hugh]

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Joan, I admire your persistence, if great big is the same as heavy you are on the right track. Yes there are 4 grabs but more is involved.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #46

I've decided to put you out of your misery and post the answers today. I think everyone is too busy this time of year, so I'm declaring a recess until January 5th. So everyone have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

Cheers,

Hugh

Thanks

Re: Enigma Machine #46

I just love that #11, up fo(u)r grabs, that was brilliant. I thought someone who was mathematically inclined would get #1.

Re: Enigma Machine #46

Hey, all...I've kind of been preoccupied, as my elderly stepmother died recently. I had to do a lot of family things. So, hopefully will be able to rest up after the hols. Things have been too much! Joan
