Or maybe chocked. Come to think of it.
He thought its smell unpleasant.

This Warre is corked, shame there is a good port underneath struggling to get out.
The ice upon which the oyster stood was tainted?

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

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

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.

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

Ten years?

Re: One quiz at a time

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.

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".djewesbury wrote:Finally we have a comprehensive description of the numerical properties of the square. A little too slow off the mark this time Glenn.Glenn E. wrote:Rows, columns, corner 2x2s, center 2x2, and all outer-edge relative positions rotated by 90 degrees.
But we have an answer.
