Thank you sir...I think it did. Should know shortly.

I'm thinking 15, unless she likes going commando half the week.

I just got back from an interview, so I've missed a few. Ken is right about TR. McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist, so TR took the reins. Oh, on the rope thing, as Ken said, C is right because either way, only 10 men worth of force is on either side of the rope.

How about Oriole as it has more than one syllable.

Just woke up....were Andy and John playing Tennis?

Was Mel a depressed window washer who jumped INTO the building?

I'm assuming that ex-directory means an unlisted number. If that's the correct assumption, then 0 would have ex-directory numbers if you randomly pulled them from the directory

Is there a lot of driving (besides Santa's sleigh) at the north pole?

I just received a very nice little Santos Du Mont from Rocket754. I payed on a Saturday and received on a Monday...how's that for fast? pics to follow. Thank you sir. IG

Thanks for helping with the boundaries.... Then I would have to say an Hourglass...lots of grains of sand.

How about the Earth? Billions of moving parts if you just count the Chinese and Indian human population. They may not all help in the telling of time, but they are moving pieces none the less.

Thank you sir...over there perhaps it is, but here, I have a few more hours until I regain my once-a-year, 24-hour title of King of the Castle.

Ken, You're very close...right line of thinking. BTW, I just got back this afternoon from my Grandmother's house (took her to get her cataract removed), so I'm back in the game.

I'll want everyone that wants to play to be able to, so I'll answer this one and then sit out for the next few - I love brain teasers and puzzles if you can't already tell ...they won't eat the eggs because if you think EMS shipping prices and customs delays are bad from China and Taiwan, try shipping penguin eggs from the Antarctic to the Arctic. Forget about tracking numbers

You and Chronomat should film "The Parent Trap 2" together

Unfortunately to eat the cakes in 30 minutes, they would need Bea Arthur's help as well. Three hungry lumberjacks.

The guy from the "I Beat Anorexia" shirt and that skinny Kobiyashi kid that wins the Nathan's Coney hotdog eating championship every year could easily pound down 30 cakes each.

Is a brolly an umbrella?

to quote "Requiem for a Dream"... Back to Back!

Well done Pugwash. Here I was trying to make it all difficult

There's a difference between inertial mass and gravitational mass.

Narikaa, Thank you again for a great game...I appreciate the challenge and I can't wait to have the Mystery Watch revealed! All, Look forward to pics. Best Regards, IG

On further examination, I am convinced that it is for the visually impaired. The disk of the seconds hand is at the end of the hand to be able to see better. Huge high-contrast numbers. I'm not sure if it actually vibrates, but I bet that it talks. EDIT ...OK, so I'm a little late. I keep going even though I'm the winner. I should learn to type faster.

I'm sorry...I meant for the blind My rationale... extra buttons to have the time told to wearer perhaps as both voice (when on dry land) and via vibrations or pulses under water. Very little lume for a dive watch Seeing the brand may become unimportant if you cannot see The "extra crown" looks like a little horn to me Just trying to expand my thinking here
