Re: Enigma Machine #40

Hi, Hugh, & all...I have a few answers. #3 is "3 sheets to the wind", #4 is "Measure two times before cut(ting)", #12 is The temperature is going up!" Still considering the others!....Thanks. Joan

Re: Enigma Machine #40

I wasn't much help on the last one, and am still busy working and traveling, but I'll try a couple tonight before getting back to the grind! I agree with the thrust of Joan's first two but would likely say "Measure Twice, Cut Once" for #4 and "Temperature Rising" for #12. Then #5 - Dozen Eggs or One Dozen Eggs; #6 - Two Shakes; #7 - Law and Order or Law 'n' Order; #8 - Poverty; and #10 - the Tables are Turned. Hope that helps to keep things moving till Joan and Ranald pick up the rest. Thanks!

[Hugh]

Joan you got #3 right on but Rick's answers for #4 & #12 are the closest to Doug's. Rick, good to see you back and your other answers are right on except #6 needs a little more work. How about those colored letters.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #40

Thanks, Rick for stepping up!!! I did get another one....#6 "Ready in two shakes".

Tks, Joan

[Hugh]

Right you are Joan. That leaves #1, #2, #9 & #11 I think. Some challenges for Ranald?

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #40

I don't know where the time goes......

#1 You get a pizza in the middle of work #11 A little known geezer.

Ranald

[Hugh]

Welcome back Ranald, we have missed you. A great try on #1 and a surprisingly close answer to Doug's comment on #11. However we are still llooking for the answers to #1 & #11 that agree with Doug.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #40

We're getting there 'eh! I'm pretty sure #9 - Haiku, and wild guesses are: #1 - Pizza with the Works; #2 - Fruitier. I'm sure Ranald is onto something with "little known" but I can't get it to go any further just yet!

[Hugh]

Rick you have #1 & #9 but #2 isn't even close. Yes Ranald was on the right track with little known so keep trying. Only #2 & #11 left to do.

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi Hugh, I do not think Alastair will be able to help.

The following is the link where Doug's Enigma page is on 'electriccanada'.

http://www.electriccanadian.com/life...igma/index.htm

You will notice the Doug's list goes from 1 to 39 !!

Unless Doug has any others, we might be at the end of the fun.... however where did ~40 come from?

Re: Enigma Machine #40

I have puzzles through to 100 but saw no sense on posting up the others until Hugh has gone through them here. Now that Hugh has posted up 40 I'll be adding that to the page.

Having said that I could post them all up but not add the answers until Hugh posts them on here?

Re: Enigma Machine #40

The regulars don't need a head start Alastair! I only have them up to 78 so I will have to get them from you Alastair, also I am missing #54 & #60.

Cheers,

Hugh
