Subject: Questions from GOW's Blog
Date: Dec 03 08

I have been consistently posting riddles and questions on my blog, but in order to expand the challenge for more people, I will post the questions here.

Keep an eye out for new questions on this post.



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

373 is "shooting an albatross". At golf, it means you scored a 2 on a Par 5. At sea, it means you are now forever cursed, like in the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

374 is not as simple as NO and ONE. One of the words is 5 letters long. Both words are usually followed by the same 3 letter words on signs.

375 is 2. Section 1 is always the essay, and Section 10 is always a writing section. Sections 2-9 can be any category, and are not set.

376 is not from The Simpsons, but from TV nonetheless. Believe it or not, I am currently wearing a T-shirt that is dedicated to this character.

377 is still up for grabs. Both the 7 and 9 letter strings are not words, they are just letters put together.

378 is the sunglasses wearing dictator of Libya Gkqhaddifyi (the combination of all 3)

374 is a random guess. I should write more omelet questions.

376 is not a character from an animated show. I need to find a Bender shirt...

376. How about ALF, he loved his food and lived in the laundry before moving into the attic.

374. I've got For Sale - For Lease but it doesn't fit the clue as the three letter word comes before, not after.

No, that's right, AussieDrongo. It says to words FOLLOWS the three letter word. I misread the clue, I was trying to put the word before the three letter word.

Way to go, AD. :-)

Actually, here is what GOW wrote: "Both words are usually followed by the same 3 letter words on signs."

The answer is For Sale/For Lease. Good job. I'll have to adjust the exact wording in my original, but at least it was gotten nonetheless.

Back down to five, so I'll post the unanswered questions again:

225. Take a two word phrases meaning “amazing”. Change the first letter, and place the first word directly in the middle of the second word. You now get another word meaning “amazing”. What are the words?

274. What is the significance of this list, to the best of my research? Germany, France, United Kingdom, the North Sea, France, Saudi Arabia, United States, China, United States, Germany

344. Take the name of a worldwide leader. Move the last letter of his name 9 letters up the alphabet. Then switch his first and last name. You now get, phonetically, a phrase that is used worldwide. Who and what is it?

376. What abode does the character who always has been eating/drinking something for the last 4 or so hours before he makes his entrance live in?

377. Take a 7-letter string that most people see everyday. If you add an ‘E’ and an ‘I’ between the 1st/2nd spots and the 4th/5th spots respectively, you now get a 9-letter string that everyone should be familiar with. What are the strings?

376. Matt Foley (Chris Farley) lives in a van down by the river. He was down in the basement drinking coffee for about four hours before he made his entrance.

376 is the 35-year old, thrice divorced motivational speaker. On the famous Spade/Applegate episode of SNL, he was drinking coffee. But in the series of about 10 appearances, he is always eating/drinking something before appearing. When he was a 'motivational Santa' (Youtube if you don't know), he was eating candy canes.

Also, my shirt. http://tshirtgroove.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/in-a-van-down-by-the-river-tshirt.jpg

377 is DFGHJKL and DEFGHIJKLMN.

I was going to post 6 last night, but other news came on. I will have questions tonight.

Wow, DaBomb, way to go for the dfghjkl and defghijkl. I so totally had that, I figured it was "defghijkl" but could not for the life of me figure out what "dfghjkl" meant. lol. Turns out it was right in front of me the entire time. lol. I even typed it into the Google search bar! :-) Haha.

Like I said before, I was going to have some questions for last night, but about 10:30 pm, the person I was chatting with on Facebook brought to my attention some other news. I thought it was big enough news for him to get his own question. I like to use recent news, and this will probably be the last time I'll ever be able to write a question about Osama with looking like a terrorist.

Remember, the 400th Question is coming up! Go to the other thread in the Brain Teasers for conditions, and be sure to send me a wordplay and trivia question posthaste!


379. What finishes these analogies? Blue : Square :: Yellow : Triangle :: Red : Circle :: Green : _____?

380. What are the only 2 movies to ever be on a list of AFI’s Top 100 movies that are just two words, and the first word is completely within the second word of the movie, in the same order? For example, if ‘Ray Bradbury’, as bRAdburY contains the letters RAY, and are still in the same order.

381. The welcome sign to what US town is made up of 5 pieces of wood, a wood post, and a western font?

382. Some science fiction fans have adorned their iPads and Kindles with a protective case that has what two comforting words?

383. Take a two word phrase that is associated with many people’s childhood. In the phrase, replace the ‘W’ with ‘AD’, and replace the ‘NB’ with ‘LR’. You now get another two word phrase that is still associated with many people’s childhood. What are the memories?

384. What does the ‘bin’ of Osama bin Laden’s name mean?
