More than one answer possible here. Question will be considered resolved when 4 answers have been given out of the 20 or so possibilities. For this question, each valid answer is worth 2 points. You may answer more than once.
As usual, no googling.
Give me a word where one finds at least 6 consecutive consonants.
do i get a bonus for 7?Quote:

Well, if 'y' doesn't count then I guess these don't count either :
symphyses, polyphyllous and polychylia
Knightsbridge, London

I'm hopeing proper names count :)
I'll have to wait a bit to see if I can accept Y as a consonant when used in that manner to give Kymera her point(s) before responding to yours, Mat.
How about after the first 4 entries valued at 2 points, I hand out 1 point for those up to number 20? ;)
Hey, I hope you're not trying to shortchange me. You have any idea how far back into my education I had to reach for those last three words? My head still hurts.
As far as I'm concerned Kymera has 4 consonants in it.
Shortchange? Never.Quote:

I'll be fair, even if Kymera has only 3 consonants in it.
Second try :-)
Weedy Willie = 1
Rastus = 9
Wig = 13
Twig = 13
Swig = 13
for a total of 49 parts
That's it!Quote:

No additional questions today. I'm heading off to Cobra's for a while. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
I'm leaving you all with 129 and 132 to deal with.
I will compile all the 6-consonant words over the weekend and post back the scores here for those who try to answer it. I'm keeping the 20 word limit, so the first 20 accepted answers will get points.
Next week I will be in training, so I will not be able to post during lunchtime. Instead, I will try to pop in a few questions in the evening (EST for me).
Thanks for your understanding. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Anyone ever try Avogadro's number, or mole, for this one?Quote:

A boy was 9 the day before yesterday. Next year he will be 12.
How is that possible?
__________
He was born on Dec. 31th.
If today is January 1st, then two days ago on Dec. 30 of last year, he was 9. On Dec. 31 of last year, he turned ten. On Dec. 31st of this year he turns 11. Dec. 31st next year he would turn 12.
He was born during leap year on Feb. 29...Quote:

Same idea, but Machodkis has the "official" answer I was looking for.
He gets the 3 points for indicating Dec. 31 as the birthdate.
Having it on Dec. 30 of the first year would make him 9from that day until the Dec. 30 of the following year, where he would then turn 10.
With a birthday on the 31st, the statement then reflects being 9 on the 30th.
Aye, tis true. I typed the wrong damn date. :sad:Quote:
