'Cast of Four' & 'Past Troubadour' 3 integers, 2 singers, 1 puzzinger! “Hall-of-Flamer?” “Do it behoove deer to don Reeboks?” “Punningnishment? Nay!... Punyshment? Yay!”

PUZZLERIA! SLICES: OVER 5πe2 SERVED

Schpuzzle of the Week:

3 integers, 2 singers, 1 puzzinger!

Anagram the combined letters in three consecutive integers to spell two singers. ... (That is, two “singers,” not two “signers!” The center-frames in the illustration above are nothing more than a red herring!)

What are these consecutive integers and two singers?

Some singers/things-that-sing: choir, cantor, canary, Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson...

Appetizer Menu

Fortuitous-Yet-Torturitous  Appetizer Menu:

Cast of Four & Past Troubadour  

An actress & three “tressless” actors

1. 🎥Think of a famous actress of the past. Remove the first two letters of her first name and the first and last letters of her last name. Rearrange what remains to spell the first name of her most famous role. 

Now think of the actor who starred with her. Take a first name that rhymes with his character’s first name, along with the actor’s last name. You’ll have another famous actor of the past. 

That particular actor was the first to play a well-known literary character on screen. Rearrange the first and last names of the character to get the first and last names of an actor who played on a long-running classic TV show. The actor has the same first name as the actress’s costar. 

Except the female character, all of these characters had essentially the same job title. The actress’s character was married to someone with that job title. 

Who are the actress and the three actors? 

What were their roles? 

What is the job title? 

Singer, song & “slangy snack”

2. 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯𝅘𝅥𝅰 Name a famous singer and musician of the past. Now think of a hit by the artist that you’d most likely hear at a certain time of year. That song mentions several different foods and drinks. One of the foods mentioned is a slang term for a certain kind of food.

The singer went by a nickname. Remove the last three letters of the singer’s first name at birth. You’ll have the first name of a restauranteur who specialized in the food listed in the song and named his restaurant after himself. 

Now think of another hit by the artist, one that you’re likely to hear about six months away from the first song. Remove the last letter from the first word in the lyrics of the song. You’ll have the last name of someone associated with the food and the restaurant. 

Who is the singer? 

What are the two songs? 

What is the food (and the slang term)? 

What is the restaurant? 

Who is associated with the food and restaurant?

MENU

Puny-Not-Punny Hors d’Oeuvre:

“Punningnishment? Nay! Punyshment? Yay!”

Take a word for “a very small or puny person or thing.”

Replace the second letter of that word with a “c” to get a word that means “to make too small, short, or scanty.”

Replace the second and third letters of that second word with a “k” to get a word that means “to use less of something than is necessary.”

Once more, take the original word for “a very
small or puny person or thing.” This time, remove the first half of this word to get a word for a “small demon, mischievous child or urchin.”

Finally, restore the first half of that original word. But then replace the last two-thirds of that word with “a place to skate.” The result is a word that means “to become smaller.”

What are these five words associated with “decrease, depletion and diminishment?”

Riffing Off Shortz And Hochbaum Entrees:

“Do it behoove deer to don Reeboks?”

Will Shortz’s February 1st NPR Weekend Edition Sunday puzzle challenge, created by Alan Hochbaum of Duluth, Georgia, reads:

Think of two hooved animals. 

Take all the letters of one of them and the last three letters of the other, mix them together, and you’ll get the first and last names of a famous actress. Who is it?

Puzzleria!s Riffing Off Shortz And Hochbaum Entrees read:

ENTREE #1

Name a “man of the soil” who, for a time, became a “man of the maritime,” and who caught many a freshwater cyprinid fish to feed those aboard his craft, including (among a menagerie of many) a critter and its mate (named “Dolly”) that had been invited along for the voyage. 

Dolly and her hubby were the kind of beasts that were homophones of a synonym of holy men who were priests (at least according to the Book of Ogden).

Rearrange the combined letters in:

~ the name of the man of the soil,

~ the name of the cyprinid fish, and

~ a name for the priest that sounds like a beast...

to spell the name of a puzzle-maker.

What are these three names and the name of the puzzle-maker?

(Note: Entree #2 was composed by our friend Tortitude, whose “...Slow but Sure Puzzles” are featured on this week’s Puzzleria!)

ENTREE #2

Think of two hooved animals. Take the shorter name, which is only three letters long, and change the first letter to the letter that precedes it in the alphabet.

What are the animals and who is the actress?

ENTREE #4

Think of a hooved animal and a non-hooved mammal. 

Change one letter from a D to an R. Rearrange all the letters to get the first and last names of a famous actress of the past.

Rearrange all the letters to get the first and last names of a famous actress. 

What are the animal categories, and who is the actress?

Rearrange the remaining letters to get the first and last names of a famous actress. 

What is the animal and who are the actresses?

ENTREE #8

Think of a hooved animal and a bird (the bird name is two words; use just the second word). Change an E to an A. Rearrange the letters to get the first and last names of a famous actress.

Note: Entree #9 was composed by our friend Plantsmith. His “Garden of Puzzley Delights” is regularly, and proudly, featured on Puzzleria!)

ENTREE #9

Take the name of a (from time-to-time) popular video celebrity. 

Mix up the letters to get a hooved animal and an animal that might eat that hooved animal. 

The two left-over letters, in order, spell a sound this predatory creature might try to make (if it could) in an attempt to keep fellow predators from tipping off its prey! 

Who is the celebrity?

What are the hooved-prey animal, predatory creature and sound it might try to make?

ENTREE #10

Think of a pair of hooved animals, the second one boasting 9 letters and a hyphen. Take all the letters of the first animal in order, followed by the 5th 4th, 2nd, 1st, 1st (again), 8th and 9th letters of the second animal. What you’ll get is the first and last names of a famous living actress. 

Who is it?

What are the two hooved animals?

ENTREE #11

Think of a pair of hooved animals, in 7 and 12 letters, in that order. Number the letters 1 through 19. 

The letters corresponding to 1, 7, 12, 3, 1 & 7 spell the first name of a storied college football player, and the letters corresponding to 1, 9, 10 & 11 spell his surname.

The letters corresponding to 15, 8 & 7 and to 1, 9, 10, 11, 7 & 3 spell the nickname given to the player by his coach.

ENTREE #12

Name a hooved (or “hoofed,” if your prefer) animal that is also “fanged.”

Place the name of the animal to the left of the word “fanged.” 

Number these letters from left-to-right, beginning with 1 and ending with a two-digit number.

What is this hooved and fanged animal?

Who is this holy man?

Slice of Dessert Menu

Crème Brûlée Flambé Dessert?:

“Hall-of-Flamer?”

The surname of a (baseball) Hall-of-Famer is a compound word. Its first part, a noun, is the result of its second part, a verb.

Move the first letter of the this athlete’s first name to the beginning of his surname. Divide this modified surname into two equal parts. 

What remains of the first name sounds like an adjective describing the new letter-longer word that follows it. The third word, if you place an “s” at its end, spells what the second word does (in a metaphorical sense).

Who is this Hall-of-Famer?

Schpuzzle of the Week:

Writers of the Purple Prose

Zane Grey, a native of Zanesville, Ohio, was a dentist, minor league baseball player and novelist perhaps best known for authoring “Riders of the Purple Sage.” 

Grey may well have written – but alas did not write – the following line in any of his fictional works:

“I once faced a crafty ________, perched upon the pitcher’s mound like a Greek god atop Olympus. I was patient and worked the count to full – three balls, two strikes. But he then served up a knuckleball that fluttered by like a
butterfly and, like a knucklehead, I swung, missed and struck ___! _____!”

The letters in the first blank are an anagram of the letters in the last two blanks.

What are the three missing words?

‘Tis Patrick’s Cryptic Opus #42!...
(From a Cruciverbal Setter with Fortitude!)
Our good friend and “resident Renaissance Man” Patrick J. Berry (aka cranberry” or PJB) is the proud possessor of a broad spectrum of interests, knowledge, and popular cultural chops.
Music, for instance, is just one of Patrick’s myriad interests. In this, his latest cryptic masterpiece, our favorite cruciverbalist has planted seven crossword clues (six of them “Down,” one of them “Across”) that harmonize to produce a masterful musical theme!
’Tis truly a beautifully phonic, and symphonic, feat! Thus this, Patrick’s 42nd Cryptic Crossword to be featured on Puzzleria!, shall surely challenge your musical chops and sharpen your musical IQ.
We invite you to revel in Patrick’s enigmatic magic, and to share in his knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, joyous noises!
You may want to prpare yourself by solving one-or-more of Patrick’s previous 41 Cryptic Crosswords... just open any one of the links below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
For those who may be new to cryptic crossword puzzles, Patrick has compiled the following list of basic cryptic crossword instructions:

Regarding the Across and Down clues and their format: The number (or numbers) that appear in parentheses at the end of the clue indicate how many letters are in the answer. Multiple numbers in parentheses indicate how letters are distributed in multiple-word answers.

For example, (5) simply indicates a 5-letter answer like “Queen,” (4,4) indicates a 4-plus-4-letter answer like “bass riff,” and (1-4) indicates a 1-letter-plus-4-letter hyphenated answer like “B-Side.”

For further insight on how to decipher these numbered cryptic clues, see Patrick’s “Cryptic Crossword Tutorial” in this link to his November 2017 Cryptic Crossword. 

That Tutorial appears below the filled-in Answer Grid in that edition of Puzzleria!

Name a well-known word that appears to consist of a pair of adjacent numerical prefixes, each with the same number of letters. The apparent prefix on the right, however, does not function as a prefix (it’s on the right!) and derives from a Greek word associated with marketing.

What is this well-known word?

ENTREE #9

Think of a numerical prefix, like the “uni-” in “unicycle” or the “kilo-” in “kilowatt.

Place after this prefix letters that would spell a mathematical constant... if we were to replace a vowel with the next vowel that follows it in the alphabet (a becomes e, e becomes i, i becomes o, etc.).

This prefix, followed by the altered

mathematical constant, spell a food that has an “awfully offal” reputation, even though it is a nutrient-rich source of protein, B vitamins and minerals.

Move the prefix to the end. The result is a kind of dish – not a dish (like revenge!) best served cold, but one best not served at all!

What are this prefix, mathematical constant and dish? 

ENTREE #10 

Morton, feeling depressed and down in the dumpy doldrums, scheduled an appointment with his psychiatrist, Dr. Psyche Trieste, to discuss a change of scenery, of surroundings, of lifestyle, of perspective, of friends, of habits. 

Dr. Trieste listened carefully and patiently, only infrequently asking her patient to clarify and explain his plight more fully. 

After a half-hour of listening to Morton's morosely meandering monologue, the doc prescribed a radical change of scenery...

“Morton,” she said, “there is no more fitting solution and change-of-scenery that I can recommend to you than Asia!”

Within a month, Morton had been lain to rest. His survivors, alas, are accusing Dr. Trieste of murder, and suing her for, psychological malpractice.
