The offical NSC Puzzle Donkey Thread

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

I'm stuck on the f***ing flower. I know nothing about plants so I'm kinda screwed with this one.

The middle clue is the best to start with - zip fastner relates to trousers! That should give you a rather unusual plant that Patrick Moore might approve of!

Just done 4.2.4!

 

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

Aaaaggggrrrhhhh! Here's 4.2.5 - too much FG for my liking!

Or in other words,
f(g(Electrical Power Unit)) f(g(Morning condensate)) f(g(seer)) g(f(conker))



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f(f(g(fog)) g(f(g(f(g(sighted) g(listener))))) f(g(f(g(Within Singing Groups)))))

Right I've got all the words in 4.1.13 in the boxes but I can't get any kind of question out of it let alone an answer!

HELP ME!

You must have the words wrong. The question is obvious when they are correct

I've finally got 4.2.3 - by cheating a bit. Redoing it gave me 7 letters which I plonked in Google and found a forum where someone else had come up with the same letters. They were told the first letter was wrong and there was a letter before it.

Let's just say Gunther would approve of the answer!

Does it spell the word right out or is it an anagram?

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Where do you even start getting the letters from in 4.2.3.?

I assume you trace the journies being described across the map. They 'should' spell out letters.

However the language used is so wolly it's almost impossible to get a clear idea of what they do.

For example the factory workers go to work a usual BEFORE the flooding and the bridge gives out. This means that they can take any number of routes to work!!!

 

[Barnet Seagull]

f*** me that's so stupid! Cheers

Well I'm still a complete

It spells out the word - just add a letter at the beginning. I'm guessing the letter is all of the routes joined up - it looks like an 8 anyway.

As for getting letters, each paragraph is a letter if you trace the routes.

This was the one that threw me. To get the right letter - just use the path of the mothers - avoiding the mill and bridge.

The word your looking for is big with Jordan and small with Tara PT.

Well I've got;

U S T L I T E ?

 

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

Well I've got;

U S T L I T E ?

All right apart from the second t. Looks like an N when I did it.

 

[Lammy]

Well it worked but I don't know how you get an N from that when they are starting from the shops?!?!? They are at bottem in the middle?

 

[Lammy]

Pandion isn't even a word?!?!?

 

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

Pandion isn't even a word?!?!?

I think you'll find that in Latin, it means osprey.

Come on people, get to the next one as I'm stuck again. I've got a nice 5-6 hr journey home from Exeter today so I expect an answer to 4.2.5 when I get back!

 

[Lammy]

Give us a clue then!

 

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

Give us a clue then!

Allow - let
Pandion - opsrey
Inner City - ghetto
Milk Part - whey

That should be a massive clue!

 

[Highfields Seagull]

It's the synonym for brace that's got me stumped.

 

[Lammy]

I think I have something close not sure about the discussion groups though.

What do you type as your answer, the whole lot?

 

[Lammy]

It's the synonym for brace that's got me stumped.

I have that as 'two'
