Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

dabigpig... would not expect you to have THAT much difficulty with this, given your statements regarding previous puzzles. specifically puzzle #4.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Cmon DaBigPig. I can give you some hints, but: Google CROSSWORD SOLVER, use wiki and google to your advantage, and MOST of them are really obscure synonyms (hint hint)

Oh, and the grammar on one of them is wrong =S The resident one.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Aghhhh, have been busy...Just posting this to say I actually still am in this, but have been unable to do the puzzles for too long. Will post more scores later, though.









Sup Tass.


Hate the slowdown. Got lucky, didn't have to play more than once.




All right, I'm done for tonight. Sorry about the page stretcher. =P

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

I seem to have lost the ability to AAA anything.



Now I just have to try and hold out for second place.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Solved. and tass, my vocab is my weak point, the bigger the words get the more challenged i become. puzzle #4 didnt have any words longer than 8 letters, so i could get those. i did the first like 20 within about 15 minutes, then got stuck on #s 4, 9, 19, 24 and 26. Three of those words i have never seen before in my life.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

aha! I made a mistake on #1 which made #28 impossible, but I figured it out.

[Tasselfoot]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

hehe... i know what the mistake is. i saw both options immediately, but then decided right away that one was right over the other... and then a later question confirmed it by using the other choice.


there was 1 where the syllable breakdown was really really weird. i forget what it was specifically, but something like it could have been I-NI or IN-I, and there really was zero way to tell which unless you solved others. that was annoying.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Hehe not really Tassel. If you go to ANY dictionary (www.dictionary.com) and you search that word (which i did), it shows the pronounciation, as well as syllable breakdown.

and btw, that was the answer to the fountain of youth.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

*shrugs* i was too lazy, i guess.

[jonathanasdf]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Well, if you were too lazy, and still managed to solve it first, without checking it up on the internet... you are a genious :O

And a pro at FFR.

Anyhow, I have a question about your challenge. Confirmation: Is question 1's answer Q? Also, question 2 gives me a decimal number. It is not supposed to right?

I will work on question 5 and 7 soon. Too lazy to do it now, plus provincials coming up.
