Numbers Rackett

[Pendragon]

I found this game elsewhere (Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, to be exact) and tought it might be fun. It goes like this. You take the numbers 1-10 and then use Literaturary Things to express the number, but use inatials only--the player has to fill in the answer. Actually you can use any numbers, but keep them in lists of TEN. OK? Let's go!



One F.O. the C.N. = One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

There are two S. to E. S. = There are two sides to every story

These three were A., A. & P. = The three were Athos, Aramis and Porthos

The four R. of the A. = The four Riders of The Apocalypse

A C. I. D. always has five claws. = A Chinese Imperial Dragon always has five claws.

There are six S. on a D., O. S. A. U. to 7. = There are six sides on a die, opposite sides add up to 7

There are seven D. S. = There are seven Deadly Sins

There are eight S. on a S. S. = There are eight sides on a stop sign

There were nine H. on the H. = There were nine heads on the Hydra

Usually, there are ten F. & T. on a P. = Usually there are ten fingers and toes on a person/primate

Good luck or go bonkers! Wow! Scher shot the lights out! Tod got two more! Finito!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-021.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-021.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-021.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-021.gif

One F.O. the C.N. - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

There are two S. to E. S. - two sides to each story.

These three were A., A. & P. - Athos, Aramis and Porthos.

There are six S. on a D., O. S. A. U. to 7. six sides on a die, opposite sides add up to 7.

There are seven D. S. - deadly sins

The four R. of the A. - four Riders of The Apocalyps

Usually, there are ten F. & T. on a P. - ten fingers and toes on a person

All I can see at the moment. Not something one should look at after 1 am! :p

I hope there are no fantasy related qs. I am not good with those.

Usually, there are ten fingers and toes on a person...

EDIT: Nutbunnies, too slow...

For comic book fans...

A Correctly Identified Deathstrike always has five claws... (per hand...:p).

Yes, I know that's not it, but I couldn't resist :D.

Going for some comic book ones...

The first N-C M of the J L A was G A (easy, right?).
The Seven S of V have no P.
There are three C on each of L H's H. (the first H is optional; do you know his real name?).
G L must recharge his R every twenty-four H.
The H T is one of four F mutated S.
As of now, there have been four R who have played S to B.
The F has two little L B's on his E.
S has had two loves, L L and L L; and one primary enemy, L L.
C (also known as S S) technically has two E, but behaves as if he only has one.
D (also known as M M) technically has two E, but doesn't use them at all.

(I know parts of others but not all) :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

Precisely! Four bulls-eyes for Pendragon! :banana::banana::banana::banana:

If it helps any, the L H in number 3 is also known as W, and the S in number five is simpler than you might think.

EDIT: Correct on the Flash's wardrobe, as well.

[Scheherazade]

S has had two loves, L L and L L; and one primary enemy, L L. - Lana Lang, and Lois Lane; Lex Luther.

These puzzles will keep me awake tonight!

[RobinHood3000]

A bulls-eye for Scher! Very good :banana:!

TERRIBLY sorry--miscounted in number 3. I was thinking about one of his mutant opponents, S (after his operation). Should be three.

If there isn't any "Heckle and Jekyll" or "Richie Rich" then I'll have to sit this one out.

There were seven Wonders of the Ancient World

#1 was correct and as you found out #2 was not Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

Sorry, no new clues on the last two. They are easy. But I see I shall have to increase the difficulty level a tad. Hmmmm..... :confused:

[RobinHood3000]

I'll give you a hint by filling in one of the words:

There are three C on each of L Howlett's H. (Remember what I said about Lady Deathstrike?)

[Pendragon]

I'll give you a hint by filling in one of the words:

There are three C on each of L Howlett's H. (Remember what I said about Lady Deathstrike?)OK Now I know who. You use DC so much that I was confused, plus I'm not used to the fact that they now know his birth name. There are three Claws on each of Logan Howlett's (Wolverine's) Hands. Should have got it from Lady Deathstrike, since they were lovers and both have claws made from the same substance. Now, I feel kinda dumb. :blush: :D :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

Exactamundo--haha, sorry for the mix-up. I was hoping that the presence of the Human Torch, Daredevil, and Cyclops on the list would help set a Marvel precedent for some of the list.

[Pendragon]

Exactamundo--haha, sorry for the mix-up. I was hoping that the presence of the Human Torch, Daredevil, and Cyclops on the list would help set a Marvel precedent for some of the list. It was that extra H. Like I say, I'm not used to them knowing who Logan really is! Not your bad, mine. I don't keep up with the flow! Snikt! :lol:



A New List (Marvel Comics Only)

1.) Odin, the All Father, has but one Eye

2.) I.M. can fire R.R. from both hands.

3.) F.W., the M.S. & H., Goddess of D. are the three children of Loki. (Might have to go to mythology for this one)

4.) C., an Inhuman, member of the A., once joined the Fantastic Four, thus making them five.

5.) There have been at least five incarnations of the G.G., not counting H.G.

6.) Mysterio, Vulture, Electro, Doc Ock, Chamelon & the Sandman. made up The Sinister Six.

7.) G., a C., head of the T.G., can blow the house with a pair of sevens. = Gambit/Cajun/Theives Guild

8.) Eight is the N. of L. on O.s Horse.

9.) Nine is part of the symbol of Hydra, bossed by B.V.S. & V.

10.) The evil Mandarin gains his powers from ten Magic Rings, five on each hand.

Good luck! 4 down to the Archer! (And a few less initials!)http://www.smileyville.net/user/wolverine2.gifhttp://www.smileyville.net/user/spidy.gifhttp://www.smileyville.net/user/matrix.gif

[RobinHood3000]

Gambit, a Cajun, head of the...??...can blow the house with a pair of sevens.

[Pendragon]

Gambit, a Cajun, head of the...??...can blow the house with a pair of sevens.Since you gave me such a great hint, and you know the Hero, I will tell you the rest. In N'awlens, Gabit was head of the Theives Guild. There's a bit of triva for your next triva game! :D Popcorn for my friend the Archer, garcon! http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

[RobinHood3000]

Number 6 is an interesting one...

Filling them in as I go along: 6.) M., Venom, E., Doctor Octopus, Carnage, & the Sandman made up The Sinister Six.

[Pendragon]

Number 6 is an interesting one...

Filling them in as I go along: 6.) M., Venom, E., Doctor Octopus, Carnage, & the Sandman made up The Sinister Six.Two are right: Doc Ock & The Sandman. Carnage & Venom are basically loners. So we'll fill in those two. That will help that much. One hint: Only four members of the original Sinister Six are still with the group, and you named one of those, the other you named is supposedly dead, but in comicbook land you never know.... :brow: :D :nod:

[Pendragon]

Hummmmm..... Even after adding in hints I'm failing to get any respondse....

#1 Think Norse Mythology

#2 Tony Stark

#3 Since they are the children of Loki, check Norse Mythology: But a hint: F.W. is scheduled to meet Odin at Ragnarok. The M.S. is scheduled to take on Thor. And H. Goddess of D. is different in the comics than in mythology, but still head of Vallahalla.

The girl in #4 has a name that could be a gemstone or a very fancy drinking glass.

Let me think. #5 should be easy. Forget the number and focus on the initals. Two very similar characters, similar costumes (except colors), similiar MO's, same last name.

#6 OK, Robin got Dock Ock and Sandman. The other four are a master of disguise, a special effects expert, a living dynamo, and a carrion bird.

#8 Returns to Norse Mythology

#9 You are given The Hydra Organization: BVS wears The Satan Claw and is infectied with a virus that kills others with just his touch. V. is also known as Lady Hydra.

#10 Think Chinese.

I hate to give this much away, but I want people to be able to answer the questions. :D :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

1. Odin, something, Eye?

6. Chameleon, Mysterio, Vulture

10. Somebody, magic rings?, five on each hand

[Nightshade]

looks lkike an interwestingf game hadnt visited before sadly Never red comics reallly.
:D

[Pendragon]

1. Odin, something, Eye?

6. Chameleon, Mysterio, Vulture

10. Somebody, magic rings?, five on each hand

Feeling very generous today (besides you gave me hints on your character) so I'll give you all of them.

#1 Is indeed Odin, he was the All-Father, and had only one Eye. (There was a wild story arc where Thor has an adventure with the Lost Eye of Odin. Weird!)

#6 These three are right, the E. is Electro.

#10 is the Mandarin, who uses the 10 Magic Rings, Five on each hand.

6.) Mysterio, Vulture, Electro, Doc Ock, Chamelon & the Sandman. made up The Sinister Six.

#2) 2.5 is the number of C. in a T.A.F (The C. stands for Children)

2.5 is the number of Children in a Typical American (Average? - no, that would be redundant) Family

#1 5 = S. and R. of the P. (Very famous building for the American Defense Department)

5 = Sides and ? of the Pentagon

#3 11 = M. per S. in A. F. (Think U.S.A. sports)

5. How many toes have I, I wonder? Five on one foot, and five on the other.
6. Six equals one half of a dozenQuite true. And surprising also, since I thought some of the others more easy. Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif

#8 Eight Tentacles on a Squid? I don't think this is right because I looked it up and they have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Back to the drawing board. These are harder than the last bunch.

[Pendragon]

#8 Eight Tentacles on a Squid? I don't think this is right because I looked it up and they have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Back to the drawing board. These are harder than the last bunch.That is the answer. Popcorn? http://www.smileyville.net/user/partytime2.gif I make no distinction between "arms" and "tentacles" on the things myself, as I have heard them called both by scientists, but then we would have the question is "eight" right then? Hummm? Holy Calamari! Harder? Think so? And yet a single word could break the whole puzzle so everyone would answer it correctly....Yeesss, indeed!
http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/traurig/k055.gif

[RobinHood3000]

In point of clarification--squid have ten limbs; 8 are arms, and two are tentacles, the tentacles being distinguished by significantly greater length and either hooks or large suction cups on the end.

Example here. (http://www.membrana.ru/images/articles/1141237433-0.jpeg)
