Re: Enigma Machine #50

Quick guess! #3 is "walking on air". Pretty late, have to go to bed.

Joan

[Hugh]

Right you are Joan. Hopefully you had a good rest and are able to finish off the rest of them today.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #50

Hey, Hugh...Seems "too simple", but will offer on #8 "Blue Murder". Some of those others seem almost unsolvable! Thanks.

Joan

[Hugh]

So far Joan you are 100%, yes blue murder it is. There are some hard ones but the easier ones are 1, 2, 6, 9,& 12.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #50

Hellooooo...Am I the only person working on these?? Okay, #1 is "forays", #9 is "you're barking up the wrong tree", and here's a large guess...#12 is "Big red Atom" or possibly something to do with an atom bomb. Thanks, Joan

[Hugh]

I guess you are all alone Joan. You are right on #1 & #9 but #12 has nothing to do with atom bombs, but keep at it you are doing great solo.

Cheers,

Hugh

Without much activity this week, it may be appropriate to take another rest for a while and wait for a request for more EM's, what do you think?

Cheers,

Re: Enigma Machine #50

Well, I'd hate to let the group down or leave all the heavy lifting to Joan, so here goes: #2 - Fighting Chance; #4 - There's No Accounting for Taste; #5 - Top Notch; #6 - Jumping the Gun; #7 - Not By a Long Shot; #10 - Chronic Cold; #11 - You Are Too Wise for Me; #12 - Matinee.

[Hugh]

Wow Rick, that was a clean sweep to finish all the rest of them. Glad you took the pressure off Joan. I guess I will continue to post them if you continue to solve them.

Cheers,

Hugh

Keep it going Hugh,

Ranald

Good to hear from you Ranald, your #8 Is correct but #6 is jumping the gun. This is one of the rare times when the team got all the answers.

Cheers,

Hugh
