Enigma Machine #63

[Hugh]

John, a great contribution. By my calculation #3 is still up for discussion even though the answer is close, it's not close enough.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

OK Hugh, for #3 I'll try "rock climbing" instead - #1 is still driving me nuts!

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Hi Hugh, yes I'm still here..... #1 Three cheers for forums ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Yes John rock climbing it is and Ranald you are very close with that answer and a possible alternate answer if the bottom line was 4 UMs. Which forum is it?

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Hi Hugh, first.... good for John. I thought it might be a football/hockey team name, but do not know any of the teams.

I will find out when you put up the answers lol

Ranald

[Hugh]

It's not a team Ranald and you are very familiar with it.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Hi Hugh, I don't think this is correct, but #1 Three cheers for mums ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Ranald you are right, mums is incorrect.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Should I say 'Mums the word', an old war time expression ?

Thank you for the help Hugh.

Ranald

[Hugh]

Sorry Ranald, but think what is familiar about EM.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Hi Hugh - could it be "three cheers for Eminem"? (not that I'm a fan.) An em is a measurement used in printing, but I can't think of any way to tie this in. If E stood for Elizabeth and M for Majesty it could be "Three cheers for the Queen", although this would make more sense if it was ER. (This is far-fetched, but I'm clutching at straws now.) Ta-ta, John.

[Hugh]

Good try John, but that is not it. You will all be surprised and embarrassed when you find out.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #63

Frankly, Hugh...I personally am ready to see the answers. It's been almost too long, & those of us who work this, have already guessed!:crazy::unimpressed:

Thanks, Joan

I'm going in for surgery on Monday and was trying to drag this out until the weekend. Last weekend my wife & I went to Stratford for our anniversary so I was not able to follow our regular routine.

Cheers,
