Re: Enigma Machine #88

Hi Hugh, I'll try #1 "Tricycle" and #8 "Undercover policeman" #11 "Stick in the mud" #12 "One over the eight".

Ranald

[Hugh]

Good start Ranald, you got #1, #8 & #11. That's not a "1" in #12.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #88

Hey, guys...Here's some of my brainiac answers....#3 is "I'm over you", #4 is "double dribble" (as in basketball), #7 is "plans oft go awry", #10 is "99.9", & #12 is "I overate". I've had a few experiences in #3 in my own life..Ha! PS: #11 is "stick in the mud".

Smile, Joan

Re: Enigma Machine #88

Joan, your second #3 makes interesting reading..... even without the 'Ha?' lol

Ranald

[Hugh]

Good stuff Joan! You got #4, #10 & #12 and I like your answer to #7 which I will add as an alternate answer.

Cheers,

Hugh

Here it is Friday and only half of the clues have been solved. Do we need to take a holiday or leave the puzzle up longer?

Cheers,

Hi Hugh, without John, we seem to be in 'dry land', he might be in the process of copying a book, for Alastair.

What about leaving it for a week, and see what happens ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Good idea Ranald. I'll do that.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #88

Hi to all - I've been away most of this week doing a few jobs at the place I'm moving to; just got back today but I'll have a try at some of these. Looks like #2, #3, #5, #6, #7 & #9 are the ones left, so: #2 could be "Home on the range", #3: "I'm bigger than you" (?) #5 "Count on me", #7 "Alternate plans" or "Change of plans". All I can think of for #9 is "Two goes into eight four times" which doesn't seem relevant to anything. Nothing for #6 yet but I'll look again tomorrow.
Cheers to all, John.

[Hugh]

Well John you cleared up a lot which only leaves #6. Good work as usual!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #88

Well done John.... what about for #6 "My ancestors" ?
