Re: Enigma Machine #97

Hi Hugh - two tries for #8: "Lost in thought" and "Think nothing of it".
- Cheers, John.

[Hugh]

Sorry John, but it might help if you recognized the minus sign.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #97

Hey, once again, Hugh...Is #8 "no thoughts at all". Am ready to give up. Joan

[Hugh]

If that's the same as thoughtless you have the answer Joan, good work. Now about that (simpler in my mind) #1, won't somebody come up with the answer please.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #97

Hugh...here's a wild guess....is #1 "car at top of the bridge", OR something like that? Joan

[Hugh]

Joan I admire your persistence but alas that is not the answer, but don't give up.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #97

Hugh..I definitely have given up! Joan

[Hugh]

Joan (and John) you will kick yourself when you get the answer.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #97

Hugh, I believe I may have the answer (or at least AN answer) to #1 - but it is by no means obvious to those who have little or no knowledge of modern vehicles - "Hybrid car".
(I admit I had to Google it to find out if there was such a thing.)
- Cheers, John.
(If the word had been "cattle" I would have got it at once!)

[Hugh]

John you have done it again. Yes a high brid car and that finishes EM 97.

Cheers,

Hugh
