One quiz at a time

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 19:11 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I just can't think of anything.

So I must fall back on quibbling about the rules. As I understand it I am not allowed to guess again if I guess incorrectly. But if I guess and get no response am I allowed to guess again before that guess has been identified as incorrect? And have that guess audited with the other guess. Not that I have a guess to guess right now. Oh just forget it.

Game of thrones

And we are now on a Nelson.

Everyone stand on one leg until page 112.

Well spotted. Yes you can guess so long as someone else has guessed even if you haven't been told you're wrong.

Rules: hypothetically, Asker goers away to bathe children. Or, better, decant Port. Bob and Charles guess, B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B then C then B. Maybe one of these guesses is correct, probably not. But B can’t guess next: he just has. After C has next guessed, or D or E or F or G, then B can guess again.

At last, children’s bathing done, or better, A returns. If somebody was correct, fine. If not, guessing continues, except that the most recent guesser can’t until somebody else has.

My understanding is that GoT is a rather risqué television series. Not involving androids.

Anybody except LGTrotter may now guess.

But the forfeit is attached to guessing wrong and only after it is identified as wrong are you required to wait for someone else to guess again, perhaps there is some tort law which could help identify whether negligence on the part of the questioner has occurred.

I did have another guess prepared but will patiently wait my turn.

This is a game. Yes, I know, other games have gone wrong, but nonetheless, this is a game. Follow the rules as they have customarily been followed.

I have no idea. It was the first thing I thought of with a repeated number.

Level 22?

No.

Nor that. Surely not a good game for a phone as the board would be too big for the small screen.

I wonder whether the players noticed that this was a clue.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:03 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Me too. I think this is a very good game, but I would like us to try another one for a while.

Othello has a repeated number in it. The letter O is often informally (if incorrectly) used to represent zero, particularly in speech. And the letter L represents the number 50 in Roman numerals. Did anyone specify the numerals being used...?

What is you suggestion?

I don't think we necessarily need a new game, but I do think JDAW has posed a question that only a small section of society could guess. Unless of course he gave us some clues that actually helped.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:10 Wed 16 Oct 2013

There is of course the fact that we are all middle-aged men. Not exactly au fait in the world of mobile phone games. Even the words 'mobile phone games' are probably laughably solecistic, my students would probably be in stitches at this outrageous archaism.

OK, I won't throw my toys out of the pram yet. Or walk off with the ball. Or whatever the correct analogy is. But perhaps someone could guess the answer soon....

Very. Oh yes. Without a doubt. Down with the kids. Fo sho.

Numbers, this has the amusing use of the letter 'm' as a numeral '3'. Phresh!

It's a tough spot being the questioner, I think we can all appreciate the nerves, the inablility to think of suitable clues. I just think we should all be more supportive.

A game, downloaded over a million times, played on a small board, in which the name of the game refers to the smallness of the board.

Both of you: shut up and guess. (One of you waiting a brief moment before doing so.)

It is an excellent game, and was, IIRC, free. Do not download it: it will eat more of your life than you want. At least until you score â‰¥25k.

Unless you have heard of or seen this game I don't think that helps.

I am now going to do what I should have done in the first place and like Sherlock retire with a pound of rough shag (this too may need editing) and come up with the solution by tomorrow morning.
