Enigma Machine #42

[Hugh]

Here is the next puzzle. I hope we get more participation since the more help makes it easier. Another point of view sometimes gives others an idea that might not happen otherwise. Newbies can get a bigger version of the puzzle by clicking on the small version. Oops, we don't get a smaller version.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #42

Thanks, Joan

Re: Enigma Machine #42

Hi Hugh and Joan... I was having #6 Board room..... and #1 Nickelodeon # Sit and wait ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Joan you have #1, so keep trying.

Cheers,

Hugh

[Hugh]

Ranald you have Doug's Alternate answer for #6 and I think you have a good stab at the answer for #7 and the answer for #1 Joan has already got.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #42

Hi Hugh, change #7 to Sit back and wait

What are 'wood nickels' ?

Ranald

[Hugh]

Yes Ranald, sit back and wait is right, almost like hurry up and wait but more comfortable. Have you ever heard the expression "Don't take any wooden nickels". That's where it came from. I don't know if the origin was in Gananoque Ontario where they used to issue wooden nickels as souvenirs.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #42

Hello, All! Ranald slipped in with #7, just after I figured it out! OK....#8 is "clover-leaf". Still working on the "meats one".

Thanks, Joan

[Hugh]

That must be a 4 Leaf clover Joan you are correct, now get back to the others!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #42

Hey, again....On the #10, "meats under-cooked".

That's all I have! My brain is sizzling! Joan

[Hugh]

Right you are Joan, but it sounds like your brain is overcooked. That leaves #2, #4, #5, #9 & #11.

Cheers,

Hugh
