Bonus Puzzle: Do you feel lucky punk?
« on: April 06, 2011, 12:16:28 PM »
PM me the answer.  Do not post it here.


Bonus Puzzle #1 (4/6/11)

I found this fun one today.   I will flip a coin for each person to send me the answer by the end of tomorrow.  Heads, you get 10 points.  Tails, you lose 5 points.  If you want to do it just for fun, let me know that in your PM, you'll get no points.



First, underline the body part hiding in the consecutive letters in each of the eight groups below.  Then figure out how to swap the eight body parts among the groups so that each replaced item and its exterior letters will form a common English word.

Is it a fair coin? I guess I should've asked before answering...

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

I only collect unfair ones.  You're right, you should have asked before answering.

I'm not falling for this one.

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

I'm just kidding, it's a fair coin.

Only a few takers so far...

I should do this one in hopes of getting a negative balance.  I'll ponder it, but I'm kinda busy.

Lacerda and Jaepheth both sent the correct answer.  Coin was flipped.  Lacerda got 10 points.  Jaepheth lost 5 points.

That's what you get for questioning the coin, Jaepheth!

Hey, at least I didn't disparage the boot.
