Re: Enigma Machine #80

HI, all...My brain cells got together, & I have an answer! #8 is "short circuit".

Thanks, Joan

Re: Enigma Machine #80

Hi Hugh, could this be #4 "A brain wave" ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Right Joan, it is indeed a short circuit. Now for #4 Ranald, it is not Doug's answer. It is in fact a single word.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #80

Hi again, Hugh - since the answer to #3 has Scottish overtones, could the answer to #4 be "Bairn"? - Cheers, John.

[Hugh]

Well that is a new slant but it's not Doug's answer John, sorry.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #80

Hey, all...Sitting here with large cat on lap...I think, with the clue from Hugh, #4 is "confusion".

Thanks, Joan

[Hugh]

Sorry Joan that is not the word, the letters shown are in the answer. Keep at it you will get it.

Cheers.

Re: Enigma Machine #80

Just a last try at #4 Hugh - "Brainstorm". Cheers, John.

[Hugh]

That is an excellent alternate answer John, but it's not Doug's. I think the word is actually a song title.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #80

Hi Hugh - all day Saturday I was thinking it was Sunday, so now I've got time for another try at #4: (appropriately) "Scatterbrain". (although I've never heard of a song with this title.) - Cheers, John.

[Hugh]

You've done it again John, that's the word and it finishes EM80.

Cheers,

Hugh
