    Sooo close, but you're off by one. "Six" is "hex". Close enough.

    Your turn.

    Ok, how about detecting something notable in this sentence:

    One time the forest felt strange.

    It's an anagram of another sentence that means exactly the same thing.

    Yeah, I was lazy. If anyone can come up with that anagram I'd be impressed though.

    Truth be told, I have lots interest in the thread because some questions do not seem to offer enough mental excitement for me; I like it when I reach for pen and paper, so to speak, and work something out.

    Strange felt the forest one time.

    There's your anagram



    Next one.

    Everything was hunky dory until the phone rang -not one of my pet sounds at that time in the morning- like a dummy, I grabbed it off the wall. Hi! What's going on? I said in my best Steve McQueen voice. The Woman on the other end sounded different class. “You gotta help me” she said. I held the phone closer, that voice had more raw power than a loaded revolver. “My place has been ransacked, some of my vinyl is missing, but I don't know which ones.” It's a sign o' the times doll,” I drawled, “but nevermind, I'm on the case!”


    There were at least 13 albums missing from her record collection. All top one hundred greatest of all time stuff, how many can you name? Bonus points for the artists.


    Sorry scher no pencil needed.

    First three:

    Hunky Dory - David Bowie

    Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys

    Revolver - The Beatles


    Is it singles as well? Because Prince's Sign O' The Times, Off the Wall by Michael Jackson, What's Going On? by Four Non-Blondes, and few that seem to be obscured

    Slightly faster than the speed of light - whenever light gets there, dark has already arrived and sitting comfortably on the couch with a stein of beer
