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?

monster · 09-19-2011, 08:09 AM

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

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.

Today's carry-over riddlekus are

eight points in two rows
snugly fit to make a house
outnumber humans

Clue: they hurt your feet.
Clue: we're going to have an argument about whether it is a countable or uncountable noun.
Clue: you probably have some in your house.

Eight thirty-four one
five fifty-five two thirteen
three one twenty-one

Clue: was the Da Vinci Code that long ago?
Clue: ask a pineapple.

An eye in the sky
Irish eyes with bleeding hearts
textual ditto

Clue: They are led by the good, in Latin.
Clue: One was shot down, once.

... 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.

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.
