assuming hand is right, do we want to pass, guess brazil, or guess finger? (i was confused before when I said we could win). at the moment i lean lightly toward pass.

FINGER	BELL	BOMB	BUFFALO	BOOM
DIAMOND	ROULETTE	PICK	TRIANGLE	KING

That's ok. We are still not behind and have 2 remaining spoilers

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #56 on:** November 08, 2015, 11:10:20 am »

good: 2

ashersky · « **Reply #57 on:** November 08, 2015, 02:26:28 pm »

Definitely WELL

After that...good DAY? good POINT?

Messed up spoiler tag.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #58 on:** November 08, 2015, 03:06:00 pm »

Well

I wasn't thinking of POINT, but you do have a good point. My first instinct was DAY. I'd be good with either, though I lean a little more toward DAY.

ok, so we get three guesses. we have one mammal left and one jester left. we're almost certain to lose if we let them get another turn so we should go for it. BOMB is a clear weapon. my second favorite is BOW. (answers i would also consider, which are weaker: BOOM, STRING).if that theory is correct, then the last jester clue was probably BOW, so we should guess the last mammal clue with our third.

ehunt · « **Reply #66 on:** November 09, 2015, 06:45:09 am »

correction to my last post: there are two jester clues left. not sure i get what's going on anymore. in any event i say we guess the obvious weapon (bomb) and debate more about what the last is.

EgorK · « **Reply #67 on:** November 10, 2015, 12:01:31 am »

Bow is also obvious weapon and can be one from mammal (i. e. you are hunting with bow Finger as last jester crew? You make jests with fingers

Bomb

EgorK · « **Reply #68 on:** November 10, 2015, 12:02:45 am »

I meant gestures. And gestures sounds almost like jester

ipofanes · « **Reply #69 on:** November 10, 2015, 03:07:52 am »

BOMB is red

ehunt · « **Reply #70 on:** November 10, 2015, 05:04:55 am »

bow

i'm scared about finger, but I don't have a better guess yet. Let's talk for a second. My problem with a "jester/gesture" pun is that one also gestures with ones hands. (For that matter, a gesture is a way to POINT...) Like, if our last clue was finger, Ipofanes would've needed to've found some clue that clued FINGER but specifically didn't clue HAND (which was not just a non-word but actively bad for us to guess). And neither Jester nor Mammal can unambiguously be said to single out FINGER and not HAND. I would think that if Ipofanes had been trying to clue FINGER with either of those, he would have been more careful about hand. which in turn makes me think finger isn't one of the answers. But the flip-side is I don't have a better guess.

I agree with you that BOW could relate to a mammal, so there might not be a 3rd "mammal" to find. A jester could also take a bow, if necessary. But that still leaves us one jester clue we straight-up haven't found. in conclusion:

FINGER COMPOUND STRING POINT ROULETTE PICK BRAZIL LOCK TRIANGLE BOOM

of these, one has to relate to jester, and one might relate to mammal. none should relate to weapons, which weakly takes out "boom" for me. i'm really not seeing anything...

feel free to vote for your best guess at this point, I'm clueless and won't blame you if it's wrong! There's no need to drag this out if neither of us knows what's going on.

ehunt · « **Reply #71 on:** November 10, 2015, 07:14:44 am »

note that if i had to guess right now i would guess finger in spite of my last post. it's the only thing i can find that fits. maybe ipofanes just didn't notice hand.

ipofanes · « **Reply #72 on:** November 10, 2015, 07:51:44 am »

BOW is red

The suspense is killing me.

I hope it'll last.
