Transcript of “Fill-In-The-Blank Puzzles”
Martha, do you remember the quiz we did with one of the quiz guys where they gave us a number with some letters and we had to figure out the phrase that it represented?
Oh, like 10 Y and a D and it was 10 years and a decade, something like that?
Yeah, exactly like that.
Okay.
Well, Keith Erickson has sent us some more and I wanted to try them on you.
Oh, yay.
One W on a U.
One W on a U.
One, one.
Yeah, you remember.
Wheel on a unicycle.
One wheel on a unicycle.
I used to ride a unicycle.
Let’s try something.
Three B-M parentheses, S-H-T-R, close parentheses.
Three B-M.
S-H-T-R.
No idea.
Three blind mice, see how they run.
Oh.
Well, the thing is, at the end of his email, he has two stompers that he couldn’t figure out.
And I wanted to share these with you, Martha, and our listeners to see if they can figure them out.
And we’ll help Keith, and we’ll send the answers along.
We’ll put these on Facebook as well if they’re not already there.
Okay.
So, 5D and a ZC.
5 Zodi? No. 5? That would be 12.
5D and a ZC. It’s difficult.
And here’s another one. I think I know the answer to this, but I’m going to hold back,
And we’ll see what our listeners come up with.
64 S on a C.
64 S?
Yeah, S as in Sam.
On a C.
That’s not the word.
S on a C.
I’m so bad at these.
I don’t know.
If you have the answer to these puzzles, drop us a line, words@waywordradio.org,
Or give us a call, 877-929-9673, and we’ll help Keith out, and we’ll send them along.
We’ll post these on the website as well, all right?
