A Message from The Gent

To any curious readers:

This thread first began its life in September 2006, when it operated in a different format to the current one. The original Intelli-Thread front page was deleted and replaced with the Intelli-Castle front page in July 2013. If you are interested in looking through some of the earlier pages of the thread, you may find that the discussions therein make more sense if you have seen the original front page, which I have stored in our old guild.

Alternatively, if you would like to visit the Intelli-Thread Puzzle Archive (which used to be stored in this post) you will find it here.

Fuzzles,
G.

Wonderful idea you have here. I think I might have to stick around, seeing as this seems a likely place to find intelligent conversation. 3nodding Oh, and here's the answer to your Letter Challenge.

Luna's Answer

MULE

GALE

GAIA

I definitely think I'll subscribe to the thread. 3nodding

Try not to make it too tricky. I just happen to have a rather sizable vocabulary, as well as a penchant for logic problems and word puzzles. whee Say, I could probably help out if you decide to include riddles as part of your thread. I find riddles are an excellent way to excercise the gray matter. 3nodding

Difficulty will vary, in any case, depending upon the number of letters currently in my inventory. rofl

That sounds an excellent idea. You are very welcome to submit riddles and other puzzles. In fact, if any other people are interested in doing so, I may add an extra section for submitted puzzles. 3nodding

This is a wonderful topic! This will be going in my subscribed threads as well. It's nice to see someone in this wide, wild Gaian world who knows the merits of a good vocabulary, functioning grammar, and tactful manners. I think the puzzles will be a lot of fun as well.

Hmm, I was just reading about Oscar Wilde last night as I was researching dandyism. I go spoony over fops and dandies, I'm afraid.

Well, anyway, here's to hoping I get to use the word "defenestrate" in some context in this thread. It seems the most likely place on Gaia for this to happen.

[Lunaria Sangrael]

Cool factoids. ^w^ I've got a couple of nice riddles for you to put up, and I'll PM you the answers.

First Riddle

Buckets, barrels, baskets, cans.
What must you fill with empty hands?

Second Riddle

The builder doesn't need me,
the buyer doesn't use me,
the user doesn't want me.

What am I?

I hope you can put these to good use! 4laugh

Thank you very much, madam.

There are many worse things to go spoony over, if I may say so. And I do hope this thread attracts many more people who enjoy such words as "defenestrate".

Thank you very much. smile It's good to find another inventor of puzzles. I will add them to the front page, if that is all right with you. 3nodding Credited, of course.

[Trekkette]

I just found this and I think I love it! I can't wait until you start with the questions because I'm terrible at word puzzle things. I like that you post random facts. Lots of fun!

[The Intelli-Gent]

Letter challenges won't always be word puzzles, so don't worry. 3nodding But the in-thread questions will be easier.

Those will be starting in a day or two. I would like time to get a little more interest in the thread first. wink

Nothing to see here... just somewhere to put this.
