Classic Mastermind tactic there

By deduction it is Karate, Something, Run.

No idea what the something is, of course!

If only you were an educated man, I would guess Golf!!!

Glenn - 000, that tactic could only win it for somebody else!

Hmm... good point. I'm running out of guesses anyway.

Horseback riding, run, karate?

OK - nearly two weeks have passed. I'll give a clue - I'm doing the missing one again toniht, as I do most Mondays that I'm not sipping Nacional 63 at Quinta do Noval. It is not horseback riding but somebody could get confused in this three day event.

KillerB · Post by **KillerB** » 11:00 Tue 14 Jul 2009

All 220 but Alex and Glenn had taken note of the clue. I did say maybe confused though.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 16:13 Tue 14 Jul 2009

Polo, run, karate?

Derek already guessed the only 3-day event I could think of.

My guesses of Cricket and Cycling were both based on what I thought was the clue - i.e. "not horseback riding (cycling)...three day event (cricket). Did I completely miss the clue? (Glenn seems to have been thinking of the same clue as i was)

Salsa, run, karate.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 23:22 Tue 14 Jul 2009

Orienteering, run, karate?

(That's hiking with a map and compass, in case that's not what it is called in the UK.)

In the UK "Orienteering" means "trying to find your way to bed after an off-line"

Isn't that what spouses are for? I brought mine to NYC for just that purpose!

KillerB · Post by **KillerB** » 09:16 Wed 15 Jul 2009

Still all 220.

I give you an enormous clue and still nobody gets it - it's Mary Poppins all over again. If you don't get this soon I'm going to make a racket and shuttle off to another site.

Post by **DRT** » 09:55 Wed 15 Jul 2009

Badminton, run, karate.

222 - Derek's turn

Just in case nobody is aware that Badminton Horse Trials is the largest three day event in the World.

...and I've been there because my ex-wife used to do Eventing and I didn't manage to get the clue first time round

Need to think of a question - back later today.

I'm off on holiday soon and away with work all next week so needed to get rid of this quickly

The three day clue now has me baffled. How can ARK fit a three day occupation into a Monday evening?

Time travel, run, karate

Errmmm, it wasn't actually Badminton Horse Trials that I did, it was badminton (remember the possible confusion thing that prompted you to go for gym(khana)), hence the racket (spelling for Americans) and shuttle and the reference to Friday Night by the Darkness which mentions badminton, admittedly on a Tuesday, and... oh never mind. I always give you loads of clues and nobody bothers to look them up.

Ben,

You're up - and have been for 2 weeks!!

Which significant bridge did I cross today which was opened in a vintage year?

Post by **DRT** » 22:05 Sun 09 Aug 2009

Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which was opened in 1991?

benread · Post by **benread** » 04:50 Mon 10 Aug 2009

Too easy! I thought of the question as I crossed it, without knowing I had been "in the chair" for two weeks. Over to you.
