nope

I'll take that, although I was just looking for Google. DING!

Clue: it's to do with math(s). And English.

you should check my profile ZenGum.

Argh. No idea.

Here's one:

We spread no rumors
Do you want a jalopy?
Salute, friend. Salute!

81?

Cheese? (way off, I expect, but you gotta try.)



Incorrect, but thanks for playing.

There is something which is true of each of those lines (as an individual line) which is also true of "four".

And today's new riddle-ku:

They carry most things
They are easy to carry
You can't lift one.


Infi ... I have no idea.

Cheese us my guess too.

We put our faith in cheeses.

dings for cheeeeses.

Hallelujah!

lol My typos make me sound like Gracie.

Since this thread went fuck all to hell (Imma start a thread about starting threads and then not playing, then I'm not going to post in it!) :lol:

Anyhoo, a further hint. Non-merkins won't know it. Merkins will ignore it. So fuck it. ;)

There, now it's googlable.

So I googled. The first hit is your post!

None of the others made much sense, but I'll stab in the dark:

Hee Haw.

Enough already WTF is it

SPOILER ALERT


These are numerical expressions whose numerical value is equal to the number of letters it takes to express them in words.

"Four" is the only natural interger this is true of, but I found these improper fractions to which it also applies.


Was it worth it?

It was, because now the frustration is over!

That's an interesting one sir and well thought of by you.

SAL-ute!

OK, OK. Actually I thought this thread would die after 3 posts. I'm really not very good at Haiku, but I'll try. This one should be easy:

Fog comes on my feet.
Possums recite my names.
I was worshipped once.

little cat's feet...

Cats?

Very good. Fog comes in on little cat's feet (Robert Frost). Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats was the inspiration for the Broadway show "Cats." And cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt.

Bravo!

I figured the first and third reference, but couldn't place the 2nd one, though I saw Cats some years ago. :facepalm:

Oak Tree Abortions
Would make my job easier.
Danger overhead.

falling acorns

Trimming oak branches.
Raking up oak leaves.

Yup, gardening under a huge oak tree in the wind.

Man, your brain is only slightly less impressive than Clodfobbles.

Calves ... legs, or baby cows?

Grain on top of grain remins me of a sesame seed bun, but we've had that.

Or could the second grain be a wooden cutting board, counter top or some such? Bread/dough on a breadboard?

Keep cool, or go off: sounds like some kind of food which must be kept in the fridge, but bread doesn't. Hmm.

Errm [wild stab] ... steak sandwich?

no

it appears I made a difficult one. hints start in 12 hours

milk?

I can has cheeseburger?

Pirates!

(Fools gold = Iron pyrites, minus iron (being unironic) = pirates, yeah???)

Or international talk-like-a-pirate-day. Arrrr.

Err, UT, how does "Grain now found on top of grain" relate to milk?

I thought milk too, but the grains put me off and i was moving towards a reuben sandwick or philly cheesestek.....

and ding on the pirates talk. here was my alternate version:

R R R R R
R R R R R R R
R R R R R

It starts as grain, cows eat it, convert it to milk, and then we put it on our breakfast grains.

I realized that was the hard part so I was going to change it to "Changed grain tops our morning grains" as the hint.

something to do with the Fibonacci numbers or spiral ?

Ooh, I'll have to check with the referee ....

...

... yes, we'll take that, although the exact answer is just U2 (the first line refers to the spy plane, the second to the band, the third to the text abbreviation). DING.


It is indeed the Fibonacci sequence, only jumbled up. I thought that would be easy. I guess I'm a nerd.

Nope, but darn good try.

The eight points are in two rows of four.

Legos!

That's LEGO you silly American. ;)

Ding.

Now what are you going to make with just a single Lego? That's just crazy talk. You need a bin of Legos to really make something.
