One quiz at a time

PhilW wrote:Several member of TPF attend a port tasting with special rules on who may drink what. As a consequence of these rules:

DRT + AHB are allowed to drink the Croft together
DRT + JDAW are allowed to drink the Taylor together
PHILW is allowed to drink the Fonseca by himself
JDAW + AHB are allowed to drink the Warre together
Only one person at the tasting is allowed to drink water

By determining the rules of the tasting, propose another attendee and what he/she would be allowed to drink either on their own or together with others.

As yet, I understand nothing. But I do know that a riddle constructed by Phil will have been carefully constructed.

AHB wrote:CMAG is allowed to drink Noval by himself

no.

AHB wrote:RAYC can drink Cruz on his own

No, you can't make RAYC drink it, even if he attended only AHB + DRT could drink it together.

I could drink Graham with Owen. This is while you're all messing around answering this riddle. We'll be next door.

Oh no, I love these kind of puzzles. And all my Graham has gone.

I thought you meant the bottle of '85 I finished off last night. I may have a nip of Graham left in the cupboard...

Where is the ellipsis button on a Mac again?

Some things, I am not allowed to tell you. (Apple-semicolon.)

K, I, S, S, I, N, G. I think is how the rhyme ends.

OK my rules would be;

PhilW wrote:DRT + AHB are allowed to drink the Croft together
DRT + JDAW are allowed to drink the Taylor together
PHILW is allowed to drink the Fonseca by himself
JDAW + AHB are allowed to drink the Warre together
Only one person at the tasting is allowed to drink water

And anybody else could drink what they liked, so Daniel and Glen could drink Warre, Fonseca, Taylor and Croft.

But I suppose this is too radical a solution.

Now you're just saying that to make me blush.

Neither of us are. But there's nobody else here. So what are we to do? Maybe we should go to the Shadowlands.

No, neither individually nor together.

Now now, we must figure out Phil's question. I'm just bad at it.

He may not. LGTrotter would not be allowed to drink the Hutcheson by himself, nor with anyone else!

In case anyone was wondering, adding up the numeric values of the letters in the initials and the name of the Port to attempt to find a pattern appears to be a fruitless exercise.

Not everything about your approach is wrong.

This can't be about initials as Phil doesn't know Owen's initials and didn't use his own in the original question.

But he typed his own

handle in capital letters for some reason. My calculations were based on what Phil typed in the initial question.

We need another clue, principally because none of us have a clue.

Yes exactly, which I think is cheating a little. Presumably what I can drink has to be worked out using my full handle too.

Probably. What is the numeric value of your handle divided by pi and multiplied by infinity? Is it the cube root of Morgan?

You forgot to take away the number Phil first thought of.
