Slaine mac Roth Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) Right then, seeing as how much irritation and annoyance the word scramble game is causing, I thought I'd go right out and try and totally put you in a rubber room by devising the mega-scramble as a one off. This is only one anagram and, I think, if you get a part the rest will fall into place. So, if you're ready, get yopur teeth into this: Trouble frees cold heat trap Ooh, grand Dean stricken blind Since dull roasted bound slum Fold flayed hog, bruise thatch Would moaning silo. Twinge, maul, right tripe Eh, a tumble ruins grand herd Driven out taste, Ian? Reap tall corn. Steal each dot due Drowns tight meals Rabbit! Bring me sunk hen Seem woolly fen Hook thy steaks yet. Finish night, sheath off sting I fart. He cave. Web, From this a reed. The best of luck. Edited March 17, 2005 by Slaine mac Roth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I haven't totally checked this, but as an opening shot - Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion, unobtrusive. Plays the song that's so elusive, and the magic music makes your morning mood. Off on your way, hit the open road, there's magic at your fingers For the Spirit ever lingers, undemanding contact In your happy solitude. Invisible airwaves crackle with life. Bright antennae bristle with the energy Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength bearing a gift beyond price- almost free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Alright then, you asked for it (and this is genuine): Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart, super trio, never quintet, from Canada, solve Scot rotor rhythms Not quite as long but, I think, harder.

Schro Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Let's see, I gave this a go, and came up with.. Thanks Slaine, those are brain cells I'll never get back. I'll try cracking it again, but going to give my brain some rest first. Cheers, Schro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schro Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'm sure the rest of you are close to the top of this mountain, but as for me I'm still at the summit camp at the mountain base huddled in my sleeping bag. I refuse to come out of my tent until I'm offered a wee clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 OK, how about this. Instead of giving you hints which, I must confess I find difficult to think of without giving the whole thing away, I'll give you a random letter from the answer and, from now on, try and add another letter every day until the puzzle is solved. Right then, the first letter in the answer is O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schro Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Let's see. 80 letters total. So total combinations is n! where n is total letters. Before the clue we had.. 80! = 7,160,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ugly combinations to deal with. But now that we know the first letter is "O" that gives us: 80! - 79! = 70,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 less combinations! Which leaves us with only.. 79! = 89,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations left! Let me grab a cheeseburger and I'll do this over lunch hour. Just kidding Slaine. Thanks for the clue. We are grateful. Really. Schro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Of course you realise that if you had focused your awesome intellect on solving the puzzle instead of all that brain mashing claculation, you'd probably have the answer by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
