42. Hiawatha’s grandmother, according to Longfellow?

Total guess: Pocahantes?

digamma · 07-08-2003, 10:53 AM

Do you want the case name for #14?

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 11:14 AM

Pocahantes is incorrect.

For #14 I am basically looking for what the concept was.

VPI97 · 07-08-2003, 11:31 AM

I remember reading this story, but I don't know if my explanation of "problem" is what the question is asking...

22 - The problem with Cell 13 is that the "Thinking Machine" escaped by disguising himself as a handyman.

Edit - Then again, that wasn't really a problem...that was the solution (I think?) to a bet between Thinking Machine and the warden...Maybe the "problem" was "How do you escape from a prison cell"?

45 - 7. It's the different number of tetrads in Tetris.

What about 3 dimensional objects though? say you have:

x
xx

You could add one either behind or in front of any of the x's, creating a 3D object, which Tetris doesn't have. I tried to imagine all of these (without the benefit of blocks), but it started to make my brain hurt.

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 11:52 AM

cuervo is on the right track, and it is not nearly as hard as you think...

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 11:55 AM

VPI, you are on the right track there. Maybe if I mentioned 'pipes' it might help you.

dacman · 07-08-2003, 11:56 AM

14) Native American relocation?

You don't think this gets it:

Quote:

I was wrong about 14. It is a reference to a quote by Andrew Jackson in response to John Marshall's decision declaring Jackson's Indian removal policy to be unconstitutional.

Jackson then went on to remove the Indians from Georgia on the Trail of Tears.

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 12:01 PM

I had arrived at a line, a square, an "L", a "T", and a sort of flat "s", which is just a square with one of the sides slid up/down. That is 5 more or less 2D objects. From the image above you could a) add one out from the corner, making more or less a 3D corner. You could add one coming at you from the top x, which would be like adding one in back of the bottom right x? Then also add one in front of bottom right x/inback of top x? So is it 8, or am I still missing some?

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:02 PM

Digamma, you are correct on that one. I must have glossed over it earlier.

cuervo, you are also correct with an answer of 8.

Nicely done!

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 12:04 PM

Was 26 related in some way to M. Butterfly, and 7 in some way to All Creatures Great and Small, or was I on the wrong track completely?

Is 8 some combination of the letters "estit"? "eTits" maybe?

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:14 PM

cuervo, I went back and looked at your answer and it is correct. Herriot was a pen name though, no? Anyway, after a quick bit of research, I credited you with that answer.

26 is absolutly related to M. Butterfly, but re-read the question. It asks about a detail of M. Butterfly, not just for the name.

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:16 PM

Also, my apologies to Anrhy, who did get #8 (est). Another I glossed over. sorry.

Yeah, I just needed a push towards what the question was really looking for.

22 - The problem with cell 13 is that there was an unused drainage pipe connected to it...and that allowed for a prisoner to receive certain 'supplies' from the outside.

That and cell 13 had a rat problem.

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:21 PM

Excellent VPI!

26: He didn't really know, though was convinced at the end (with help) that he had known?

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:31 PM

cuervo, yes, he didn't really know. It was left ambiguous. Well done.

I guess I can throw out a few hints on the unanswered ones....stay tuned.

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:38 PM

Some hints:

2) Andrew Lloyd Webber

20) Starts with birth, ends with death. This is pretty hard to give a hint to.

23) "I knew he was a guinea"

25) fraud and made up names. On second though, this one is pretty darn hard to make the connection...

29) Shakespeare and 73

32) symbol of peace

33) heh. No way to give a clue here.

42) Hiawatha's mother was Wenonah, father was Mudjekeewis. So grandmother was _________ (Daughter of the Moon).

44) Will find a hint, this is not familiar at all to me

49) what is a grand plie and a grand jette?

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 12:42 PM

2 is 'Aspects of Love' (sorry, had to look it up, did so before the clue).

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 12:47 PM

33 - Cornet
29 - Shakespeare Sonnet #73

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 12:50 PM

cuervo, correct on all accounts. I guess I really gave away #29.

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 01:27 PM

Yes, you did. Is 32 'Olive' (olive branch)? Just a flat out guess there...

Marmel · 07-08-2003, 01:37 PM

no, the clue refers to the last name of the person we are looking for.

cuervo72 · 07-08-2003, 01:39 PM

Billie Dove.

Qui Tam is a provision that encourages people aware of fraud against the government to come forward. The Mikado is an opera featuring names that are two word combinations like: Ko-Ko, Nanki-Poo, Peep-Bo, etc... Qui Tam sounds similar to these names.

I can provide a bit more detail if interested.

32.
cuervo was correct with Billie Dove

33.
cuervo was correct with Cornet

41. Hiawatha's grandmother was Daughter of the Moon Nokomis

44.
He was apprenticed until his 18th birthday. Too bad he wasn't apprenticed until he was 18 years old. Not sure on this reference.

49.
a grand plie is when you flex your knees all the way as opposed to a demi plie where you flex your knees a little. A grand jette is a big jump.
