One quiz at a time

Post by **DRT** » 21:45 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I have just discovered that there are over 700,000 games available on Android. There doesn't appear to be anyone who has created a list of those used by pedantic mathematicians on London buses.

I Don't Know And Never Will 66?

He will be back soon. He told us earlier it takes 10-20 minutes

It was a good clue. Not sufficiently easy for you, though.

It is going to be such an anti-climax when we discover that none of us have ever heard of this game.

A ‟simple yet hugely addictive and challenging puzzle”.

What I really need to know is should I pay £18.99 for Krohn 2003?

I'm sorry but I can't think of an answer.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 21:59 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Circles? Bloody Circles?

Nonomatic?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:06 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Is it a game called 3.33? I think we had that on the ZX Spectrum. Didn't know they'd ported it to Android.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:06 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I give you Julio Iglesias;

Comes under the title of meaningless drivel.

Please explain how six posts can have elapsed without this clue sufficing?

The Krohn ’63 was impressive.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:12 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I typed it into google and got a large number of games that seemed to have roughly this order of words to describe them.

Besides I was listening to Julio.

After one glass, the GB70 (popped and poured) is every bit as good as I thought it would be.

In truth this is the only Julio Iglesias thing I have heard. I will brush up though if I must.

Derek, did you send Owen that message about the tasting he was asking about? How would he get those details?

Oh I know - Four By Four By Four By Four. It's a 4-Dimensional Connect Four.

How can www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22simple+yet ... +puzzle%22 be difficult?

OK, that question hasn’t worked well.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:23 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Not my turn.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:24 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Is there nothing more productive to be doing. I could iron some newspapers, I wonder if there could be another clue...

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:25 Wed 16 Oct 2013

A game in which one has to make rows of four, played on a slightly larger square board.

That question works beautifully, within the confines of the title of the thread.

Does anybody have a guess? I have but it's not my go.

Asteriods?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:33 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Is it "connect four on a grid of six by six"?

Post by **DRT** » 22:33 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I've got it!!!

Tetris 4x4?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:35 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Ahhh - Donkey Kong? (RB's guess)

OK, the quiet conspiracy of let’s-pretend-not-to-know is wearing thin. It is 7x7, which I highly recommend. Open question: first to ask is question master.

And if nobody does, I will tomorrow.

Post by **DRT** » 22:41 Wed 16 Oct 2013

I think we should make JDAW go again.

Ayes to the right, nos to the left...

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:43 Wed 16 Oct 2013

This very evening a bottle of Port was opened in the Wiseman household, and finished. What?

And it has been mentioned on this forum within the last month or so, in a comment directed at a regular player of this game.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:43 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Foul! You can't give the answer away just because we didn't get it! No no. No more questions for Julian. Until he guesses correctly.

I have a really, really boring question - even more boring than Julian's - and frighteningly, also numerical in bent. But I think a boring question is not what we need now.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:44 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Too late. I have asked.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:45 Wed 16 Oct 2013

JDAW up again for me.

And just for the record I really am that obtuse, mostly.

Or Daniel, just to be on the safe side.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:45 Wed 16 Oct 2013

Then the answer is Morgan 1991.

In some ways, very close. In others ways, not so much.

Where does all this Warre LBV hide until its maturity?

Smith Woodhouse 1991?
