ReplyDeleteIn Entrée #8, I believe you mean 6 letters, not 5. Since 12 + 2 - 4 - 4 = 6.
Thank you, geofan. You are correct. I shall therefore correct the text.
DeleteLegoWhoIsThankfulForEditorsLike"ViolinTedditor"NoddgeofanAndOthersWhoInformHimOfHisManyGoofs!
In Entree #10, the fifth and sixth paragraphs seem to be duplicative. Should one be removed?
DeleteGosh, I got a credit and didn't even DO anything for it!

ReplyDeleteTwo very nice Schpuzzle riffs, Nodd... not that I have yet solved them.
DeleteLegoHavingComputerIssues
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThat's okay, Lego, I haven't solved your Schpuzzle yet either. I was able to solve the Hors D'Oeuvre and most of the Entrees, and I may have solved the Slice. I used an author who wrote under a pseudonym and the letters spell three four-letter foods, but in my online search I saw that there were enough twelve-letter author names that multiple answers may be possible. So mine may not be your intended answer.
DeleteI went through a LONG list of 12-letter authors (mostly first and surname, but one or two just a long surname), and got to nearly the bottom before coming even close. I still don't think I have the right answer, because I had to change the third food item to the French spelling to make it work. Sigh...
DeleteI am on Puzzleria!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to all---especially Bobby, because you are on Puzzleria! yet again, and deservedly so!
ReplyDeleteMom and I are fine. We and Bryan and Mia Kate went to eat at Cracker Barrel this evening. Mom and Bryan both had the "Mom's Big Breakfast", which consisted of bacon, eggs, and French toast(Mom didn't finish hers, and she drank Sprite, but I forget what he drank); I had the Maple Bacon Chicken, Bacon Mac'n'Cheese, a House Salad with Ranch Dressing, and a Coke Zero; and Mia Kate had the Meatloaf(I forgot what sides or drink she had). We also had a basket full of biscuits with butter for everybody. Biggest problem tonight: They give you a little bag with only a fork inside. That's all the silverware you get right up front. So we had to ask the waitress(one of many we noticed were working there tonight)to bring a knife. Wouldn't you know just as I pick up the knife, it slips out of my hand and onto the floor?! Now I can't use the very thing I needed to cut my meat in the first place! I still managed somehow, anyway. Bryan said a friend of his from work had the same kind of experience the last time she ate there, and she only needed a spoon to stir her coffee! On the way home, Mom said if they know you're going to order something that will require cutting it to be able to eat it, they should have the knife in that bag with the fork already. I totally agree, 100%. They also had a power outage yesterday in the entire area, from about 11:30am until 4:30 or 5pm. The area also includes a Waffle House, a Burger King, and a Zaxby's, among others. After a couple hours, anyone going out to eat there yesterday for breakfast or lunch had no other choice but to go home. I certainly don't blame them. We also found a couple of "practical" gifts for me this Christmas: a "Dad Joke-A-Day" calendar, and a Pink Floyd T-shirt to go with my Pink Floyd socks from the Music Trivia Night a few months back. I told Mom to go buy them, and I wouldn't watch, and when I unwrap them later, I'll "pretend to be surprised". I think they're still in the back seat, but I won't say anything about it for now. Mia Kate says she also has a record player like I have, and has bought some records to play, but she kind of hasn't been listening to Queen as much as she had been before, but then they had watched "Bohemian Rhapsody" again earlier this week, and she still thinks they were great.
Now, at this point in my post, I usually show my progress so far with the week's new offerings, but last night I really didn't even feel like fooling with it, or my heart wasn't in it, or whatever. Even as I type this, however, I am at least trying to solve the Entrees, if nothing else, and I will try to get those done and show my progress here. OK, I now have all Entrees except #2, #6, and parts of #7(the sprinter)and everything involving the seven-letter surname in #10. Everything else will require hints, Lego and Bobby, but I will work on it(if I can)after I finish this post. Lot of narrowing down will be needed, that's all I can say for now.
Good luck in solving, and please stay safe, and never ever drop whatever silverware you really need on the floor in a restaurant! Cranberry out!
pjbAlsoKnowsRenaeOrderedSomeFoodViaDoorDashRecently,AndTheyBrokeTheDrinkAndItSpilledAllOverTheFood,SoThingsCouldAlwaysBeWorse!
PJB, I simply HAVE to ask (I have managed to bite my lip, so to speak, all these months/years)...but don't you ever worry about your cholesterol level, with all that 'junk' food that seems to be brimming over with it? I ask from a position of familial high cholesterol; thus seeing what you eat scares me!
DeleteNot to muddy the waters, but according to an article i just read about 30% of Americans have fast food on a daily basis. I live in one of the Food desert areas in Georgia where fast food places have pretty much replaced any more nutritious offerings. I am afraid to check my LDL since moving here. We live less than 100 feet from a Wendy's in our townhouse rental here. There are probably 50 fast food eateries within a quarter mile of us.
DeleteEven more shocking - some 20% of American meals are eaten in cars. Very sad situation and we are all killing ourselves.
But you know a Wendy's loaded potatoe is not so bad. But a daily baconator could be problematic.
UPDATE!
ReplyDeleteBobby, I just figured out both of your puzzles, so you are hereby exempt from hint duties this week! Go out and celebrate!
pjbHatesToAdmit,IfThisIsn'tTheIntendedAnswerHeHasFor#1,ThenIt'sADarnGoodAlternativeAnswer!
ONE MORE UPDATE!
ReplyDeleteJust got the Slice(not much of a meal, IMHO, if that's all you have)!
pjbSaysTheSchpuzzleAndTheDessertWillBothDefinitelyNeedHints,Though
Jeepers, I somehow was late by 24 hours! That is what worrying about Christmas baking does to a person!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read everybody's above, but had a question about the Hors D'O: is the synonym that we remove all together in the clothing word, or are we suppose to just pull out letters in any order to make the synonym? The latter would take forever to try to find!
Never mind, Lego, I just got the Hors D'O.
DeleteWhat are you baking this year? I am attempting to Tres Leches Cake for the first time.
DeleteCan't you just do Harry and David? I got their brochure last week.
DeleteMy favorite item is-of course- the Moose Crunch. Again.
Plantie, since you inquired, my own version of Good Housekeeping's gingerbread (a recipe I found a couple of decades ago in their magazine, but added to, and/or use ONLY light brown sugar and LIGHT Karo syrup...hate the molasses-y type of gingerbread. Also my mom's recipe for candy cane cookies (they are moldable, and the sweetness is all in the icing, not the dough itself), and finally my go-to M&M cookies, rife with extra vanilla and almond extract, which is what makes them SOOO good! I have yet to even get the gingerbread rolled out (It was too stiff from being in the refrig over night), so it's going to be a crush to get it all done in time.
DeleteOh, and I just have a "thing" about not bringing 'bought' goodies when I am responsible for refreshments; I've always been like that. Of course, I used to enjoy baking, especially when my boys were around. It's just a lot of work, now.
DeleteAre the Mand M cookies the ones on the box? With Quaker oats. My Mother in law's favorites were the gingerbread ones.
DeleteSend me that one: mcbertoglio@yahoo.com AKA/ plantsmith.
DeleteYou know growing up in the depression - my grandparents in Portland- used Dark Karo syrup on pancakes. I grew up with that and i still love Karo on pancakes.
DeleteThey also used as a salad dressing mayo- mixed with ketchup.
I don't do that anymore. Every Xmas she made- fudge - real fudge and something i never see anymore- Divinity. PS waxing nostalgic for Xmases of the past.
My favorite phrase in this entire P! is: "add no letters of your choosing"!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got a Yoga Cat's calendar for my DIL in New York. Really cute. They also have a Tuxedo Cats one- calendar that is. We got a Cat Stuffie for the GD. It's kind of ugly and looks more like a -long rectangle pillow. I also saw for the first time Taylor's Time cover of her with Benjamin Buttons. Adorable. I guess it is one of her most popular ones. Who knew.
DeleteHowever, I am not sure about the Petivity litter box that monitors your cat's weight and elimination habits and signals you if something has gone awry. It's a cat's world out there. Sorry to be so catty. As you know, i am easily catstracted.
VT, I know why Lego used that phrasing (he's copying the original), but why did Steve / Will use it? It's like "OK, I pick Z! I pick X! I pick some letter in Klingon!" Why not just "add a letter" because there's only one letter that will work in the puzzle?
DeletePS, do you and your wife have any pets? Not sure you've mentioned that. I know your adult kids have pets. We subscribe to Time, but the issue we got is NOT the cat one! And it's apparently hard to find!
Another funny cat related story: I recently asked ChatGPT to guess Trinket's middle name, and it was able to do it in three guesses! It is "Marie," which is not the most obscure middle name, I guess.
TortieWhoGaveTrinketAMiddleNameForWhenI'mComplainingAboutHer
No pets. Lot's of outside bird feeders and also the chipmunks are here too. We dog sit for our Grand dog- Jensen - a Morkie when they go on trips. My sister always had cats.
DeleteI guess that Time cover is a collectors item?
Tortie, I got lost trying to figure out to what you were referring relative to me....could you please explain? Was it somehow about the Hors D'O?
DeleteVT, it was about your comment about "add no letters of your choosing." I was just commenting about how the Steve / Will wording about "add a letter of your choosing" seems odd to me.
DeleteBTW, I still don't have the Hors d'Oeuvre nor the Slice. I came up with two possible answers for the Dessert, but they are almost certainly alternative answers. Just not my best puzzle solving week.
Tortie, if I have read all these many posts correctly (down below as well), you have by now solved the HOrs D'O, right? As for the Slice, I still have the wrong answer ,since I had to spell the third item as it is in French. I'd gone down a huge LONG list of authors with the 12 letters, finally got to the one I have now written down and frankly, wasn't about to do any more. So a French-spelled item it is!
DeleteYes, I solved the Hors D'O. I also solved the Slice. The third word is not French. Hint for the Slice: there is a word in Entree #4 that is in the title of one of the author's most famous works.
DeleteThanks, Tortie. I have it now. I had actually tried that author already, but simply missed the proper combination. As I believe pjb said somewhere here, not much of a lunch. I preferred MY three items from the wrong author!!
DeleteSimply can NOT find any metric unit (for the surname in Entree 10) that is seven letters long....8 letters, or other lengths, but not 7. It's too late at night to fight it. Can't solve Entrees 2, 5, or 7 either. Went round and round with all of them.
ReplyDeleteVT, read Entree #10 carefully. It says a fellow whose "name" is a metric unit of mass. The unit is only four letters.
DeleteEntree #2: "Walk" means what the batter gets when the pitcher throws four pitches that are not in the strike zone, and so the batter gets to advance 90 feet without having to get a hit. If you take the word for the four pitches and the word for what is at the end of the 90 feet, plus a preposition, you can arrange them to get the synonym for "walk," and the synonym for "superstar pitchers" will be pretty obvious.
Entree #5: A guy named Anthony whose surname is a European capital in its native language presumably thinks he should get the title referred to.
Entree #7: The philosopher may be better known as a novelist. The painter had a niece with the same first name as "Mary Poppins," and the same surname as the painter. The sprinter had the same first name as a brand of soap.
The metric unit is the first name. I was confused about that at first.
DeleteThis guy is kind of a "cult artist" in that most people haven't heard of him. His name sounds like the first name of one of a members of a more famous supergroup. Oddly, one of the other members of that supergroup was earlier in another group. The "cult artist" was also earlier in that same group, but at a different time.
Thank you, Nodd and Tortitude, for those helpful hints.
DeleteLegoLazy
Thanks, Nodd and Tortie. INdeed, who ever heard of this guy (in #10)...certainly not me (what else is new?) I NEVER would have interpreted the instructions that the first name was the metric unit. Without that, it was impossible to figure out the required last name and profession. I am really, really tired of NEVER having heard of all these folks.
DeleteNodd, I switched to a different author-philosopher (had to read books by both in high school French classes), the same painter as what I already had (though couldn't find the niece you were referring to), but am still completely STUCK on this 100 yard dasher guy. I've googled until I am blue int he face....since his name requires the missing letter, it can't just be put into an anagrammer.
DeleteI'm still totally stuck and at this point, getting ready to scream (like last week), because I keep going back and forth between the two French author/philosophers, but no matter which one I choose, if I stick with the same painter, I can't get what I now think is SUPPOSED to be the (very famous Olympian) dasher's first name. Nothing I try will work out. This isn't good for my heart.
DeleteNodd, re entree 2, thank you, because I NEVER would have interpreted "walk" that way without your description. I managed to find the 'synonym' (again, NO idea whatsoever) and thus the easy pitcher word.
DeleteVT, re: the dasher guy is probably not the guy you're trying. I got into the same pickle. I had never heard of the right answer before, but if you guess the author/philosopher and painter correct, you can get the soap word that is also the name of the sprinter. (No, I had never heard of him before. Yet another obscure person for this week. I think only Lego knows all of this!)
DeleteVT, I sympathize; the sprinter is indeed very hard to find online. (There appear to be multiple sprinters that ran 9 flat.) This particular one was not an Olympian. His first name is a soap and a black market item; his last name is the same as the last name of an Alamo fighter played by an actor whose first name is slang for "own up to" and whose last name is part of a kind of roll (the kind you bake).
DeleteWell, Nodd, that leaves out Usain and Carl. Back to the 'starting block' so to speak... ha ha ha.
DeleteClue for VT: it was for the 100 yard dash, not the 100 meter. So some time ago, before metrication of track events.
DeleteAnd VT, just in case, there are two painters that could qualify for the "French painter" part of the clue. They differ in only one letter. You want the one that comes first in alphabetical order.
DeleteThanks, Tortie. That IS the painter I have mostly been using. So given that I have a choice of two author-philosophers, this helps pin down what letters might be left for the elusive 100 yard dasher (yes, I have been trying to look up YARD instead of meters. But Google keeps fighting back!)
DeleteFINALLY FIGURED IT OUT...thanks to the soap name hint...duh....am just now looking up the relevant 100 yd dasher....
DeleteWHY doesn't that guy show up in google unless you already know his name? Seems he STILL holds the record, it's atrocious that he goes ignored.
DeleteHi, everyone. Yeesh, not a lot of progress this week! It's possible that my brain just wasn't working right yesterday, but I couldn't even solve many of the Entrees. I'd get a partial answer, and then the last one didn't work. In any case, I did solve the Schpuzzle, the Apps, and most of the Entrees, however.
ReplyDeleteName a band that is well-known to most fans of classic rock. Add in the first name of someone who is famous-to-us. Rearrange the letters to produce the first and last names of a singer who only had one big hit, and is somewhat known to oldies fans. The title of the singer’s hit mentions the first name of someone who is famous-to-us.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the classic rock band? Who is the singer? What’s the song? What are the first names of the two people who are famous-to-us?
Hello, all.
ReplyDeleteHave solved all except the Hors d'oeuvre, Slice, Entrées #1 and #4, and the Dessert.
Entrée #4 is frustrating. The only well-known Alfred requires a B added (one other would require two added letters -- not allowed). This fixes the added letter as B. Following this, the best-known Isaac requires a second O, which is no longer available, owing to the B already used.
If one instead assumes the best-known Charles and Isaac, one obtains a residue of ERLD, which corresponds to no well-known Alfred.
Or could one or more of the answers be fictional scientists from pop culture (which this blog tends to favor)?
The "Alfred" is a psychotherapist.
DeleteLegoWhoIsJustAPsycho
ok, got it
DeleteGeo, the Hors D'O....as per what I had originally asked about, the synonym for 'female' IS all together in the clothing word, and in fact, is at the start of that word. Hope that helps..
DeleteThat helped me. I saw yet another synonym for "female" in the clothing word, and got nowhere with the resulting letters to be anagrammed. Can't believe I glossed over the beginning of the word! How thoughtless!
DeletepjbSaysThankYouToViolinTeddyForTheHint,AndDon'tBeWorriedAboutHisCholesterol,AsHeDoesMuchBetterThanHeMakesItSoundJustTalkingAboutThatFriday'sSemiregularMealOut,OrAnyDrive-ThroughTripsAlsoMentionedInThePast(OurHealthiestMealsAreTheBoxOnesFromFactorAndHelloFresh)
VT, got it. I had even considered that same word, but with a different synonym of "female" contained within that same word. But removing that other synonym got me nowhere.
DeleteHa, went through the same process as geo and pjb!
DeleteThat is SO funny, all three of you. Would you believe that I had to THINK about the 'other' synonym word contained in the item of clothing, because I hadn't even noticed it?
DeleteRe the hidden cholesterol reply above, pjb: still everyone one of those unhealthy, fat-clogging meals does NOT help your arteries, or anyone's....have you had yours tested? Perhaps your family has abnormally LOW cholesterol? In which case, you would be very very lucky.
DeleteTo the best of my knowledge, I have never been informed of any cholesterol problems whenever I've had a checkup in recent years. As for my family's collective cholesterol history, I've never really even asked Mom about that. I do know we've had kidney problems running in our family, that much is true. In terms of sodium, we usually try not to buy any foods that go too much over 300 grams(especially if it shows FOUR digits!). Mom does say I shouldn't be having midnight snacks, though. "Too many carbs," she says. But I think I've got everything under control. If we do have "abnormally low" cholesterol, I'll certainly find out. If you're really that concerned about me, then here's what I'll do: Starting next week, I'll just mention that we ate out, and that's it. Didn't realize it would be TMI, but I'm fine with that.

ReplyDeleteHints:
ReplyDelete1. The article of apparel might be worn by a literary character whose name contains an object that they use. If you replace the object in the character's name with the second word in the article of clothing, then you will get another article of clothing.
2. Take the capital of a country that borders the 9-letter country and add the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th letters of a country that borders that country. You will get a food of the nationality.
Thanks, Bobby. Very nice hints. 'Preciate it.
DeleteLegoWhoWillProvideHintsForHisPuzzlesLateSundayOrEarlyMonday
Add an "M" to the "food of the nationality" and rearrange to name a concern in the US and many other countries.
DeleteBobby, I'd forgotten if your mother's name is Eileen, but my mother just pointed out she emailed the nicest, kindest message to my brother Bryan earlier! He and Renae are taking my youngest niece Maddy back up to Baltimore today for more physical therapy(poor thing), so he won't get the message until much later. But I do appreciate Eileen's kind words about me, and I'm sure they ring true with everyone else here as well. Bobby, I offer my sincerest thanks to your mother for caring enough to send a message, and I promise to never have any unkind things to say about you, even if I can't solve your puzzles right away. Many thanks to her again! She has made my day!
DeletepjbKnowsHowImportantOne'sMotherCanBeInOne'sLife,Definitely
Really nice hints! I feel like hint #2, especially, could have been a puzzle in its own right.
Delete1. Lancelot uses a lance and wears chain mail. If you replace "lance" in Lancelot with "mail", then you get maillot. This was a puzzle on December 11, 2020.
Delete2. Latvia borders Lithuania, and Estonia borders Latvia. The capital of Latvia is Riga. Rigatoni is an Italian food. This was a puzzle on February 26, 2021.
Has anyone solved the dessert yet? (There are so many comments by now, in so many strings, that I find it impossible to search in order to find out.) I am also still stuck on Entree 5. I tried Nodd's Anthony hint from yesterday, but got nowhere.
ReplyDeleteFor #5, try Adam's apple, but use a different body part associated with Adam.
DeleteI don't have the Dessert yet. I have two possible alternatives, plus another TV show that's giving some words that seem promising, but I can't seem to put it together.
DeleteFunnily enough, I found a movie title that works with an exclamation that sounds natural. I have never heard of the movie before, but the leading actor is reasonably well-known.
Other than the Dessert, I'm still missing the phrase that SPRING-LOADED anagrams to (the crop one).
The crop phrase begins with the first word in a rhyme about spring showers.
DeleteWell, I feel silly now. That was one word I didn't try. Got it now!
DeleteThanks, Nodd. I had had the correct second word for #5 all along, but had just never selected the right letter to make the first word; your hint helped me finally see what that word should be.
DeleteA Hint for the Dessert that is actually a Riff of the Dessert!:
ReplyDeleteAfter The Deluge Dessert:
Dove extends an olive branch...
Add the letter "L" to the letters of a popular television show to spell what Noah might have exclaimed when the dove returned to him with a leafy olive branch in its beak.
What is the television show?
What might Noah have exclaimed?
Hint: Noah's exclamation (both in the original Dessert and also in this Riff) was an exclamation of gratitude. Oh, and Noah was no ornithologist!
What is the television show?
What might Noah have exclaimed?
LegoMisterBlunderful
Got it now.
DeleteHurrah. I just thought of the correct phrase of gratitude, reverse anagrammed it and saw the TV show, which I had to check even WAS a TV show. Would never have been able to find the show otherwise...just way too many titles to choose from, and for those of us who no longer watch TV (except OPB and so forth ont he computer), it was an utter impossiblity.
DeleteLooking back, I think that was the easiest way to solve it. I wasn't even sure if the show in Lego''s puzzlel was a current one or not, so I really went through a bunch of shows.

Three-course four-letter-each lunch
The author himself was eating this three-course lunch at a restaurant. While taking a sip of water between bites he sensed a trickle of wetness tickling his chin, then trickling further downward to his Adam's apple (not on the menu). Enraged, the author arose from his seat and threw the leaking glass waiterward!
