He likes them bare and naked.

That's choked.
Or maybe chocked. Come to think of it.
He thought its smell unpleasant.

My husband never ever gets embarrassed about anything ever.

Closest yet. But why?

There was also one answer that had potential, but, sorry, just wrong.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:00 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Come on someone, I have a guess.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 23:02 Wed 04 Dec 2013

He thought it smelled of soap from the oyster man counter thingy.

Talisker 18 YO, with a small splash of water?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:03 Wed 04 Dec 2013

It was pregnant.

Do they get pregnant?

A woman came and sat next to him at the bar next smelling strongly of perfume. And talking about her failed relationships.

No soap.

I thought they were bisexual.

It was an oyster shed. We were the only customers. And I don’t wear perfume.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:11 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Some other being had secreted itself into the oyster's shell and, well, gone orf.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:15 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Good guess, but nope.

You think everything's bisexual.

This Warre is corked, shame there is a good port underneath struggling to get out.

The ice upon which the oyster stood was tainted?

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:17 Wed 04 Dec 2013

All the oysters were fresh from the sea, naked, dressed identically. The small ones were delicious. Why? What is it about the small oysters?

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:18 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Oh, and the one he didn't like would be great to be used as a nice soap dish.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:19 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Fresh from the sea. No ice.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 23:21 Wed 04 Dec 2013

I should be able to guess this now but I am just not familiar enough with the little beggars. Where's D Rockerfeller Jewesbury when you need him?

Being 'artistic' I shouldn't wonder.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:28 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Bisexual does not mean hermaphrodite. Was it male?

Too big and smelly I understand, but more seems to be needed.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:33 Wed 04 Dec 2013

No. They are hermaphrodites. Please excuse the previous silly playfulness. It (the bisexual part) was in an article I recently saw about oysters. I'll have to look that up again. In the meantime, no, it wasn't male.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:36 Wed 04 Dec 2013

The oyster had an observable quality which made it predictably less sweet. What is that quality? Mr Somerset is getting very warm!

Post by **DRT** » 23:38 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Was the large one a different type of oyster?

Are you finding Julian's obsessive compulsive vivalve - oops, I mean bivalve - proclivities starting to wear thin?

It smelled of Royal Oporto.

Some have two genders according to Wikipedia!

Post by **DRT** » 23:40 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Was the seventh oyster farmed and the others wild?

Nurse! He's out of bed again.

Oh and what about it's age, does that come into it?

Post by **DRT** » 23:45 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Were the first six served with custard and clotted cream?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:52 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Was the smelly old big one not as pert and neat as he likes his bivalves?

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:53 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Ooooo. Very good, Mr Somerset. Yes. Keep going. You're almost there!

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 23:56 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Now you're teasing.

Do I have to guess the exact age at which they become too old for Julian?

Ten years?

Post by **DRT** » 23:58 Wed 04 Dec 2013

25 years?

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 23:58 Wed 04 Dec 2013

Yes! That's it! The one thing that was different was its age. Julian wanted just one more, and the oyster man wanted to impress us. So he pulled out this HUGE oyster and proceeded to tell us about its age (it was 15 years) and that the larger they are, the older, and also more sour. Yes, Julian likes his bivalves pert and neat.

But we have an answer.
Finally we have a comprehensive description of the numerical properties of the square. A little too slow off the mark this time Glenn.

only just seen this. Not quite comprehensive though; diagonals too (previously mentioned by jdaw) and also opposite outer mid-pairs as well as corners. Four of these cases could be generalised to "the sum of all four values in any single selected position while rotating the board 90 degrees each time".

I think you mean me. Lovely question. I may have to go and lie down to think of the next one. And my name is Owen, but call me Mr Somerset if it pleases you.

Yes. You called it Mr Somerset (the name sticks for me). You're up.

Owen Somerset, I think we both got that answer. It was, as they say, a little bit you, a little bit me.
Meanwhile Phil has got an answer to yesterday's quiz handy!
