I'm going to take a chance with this puzzle: I think it'll either flop or go really well. I'm hoping it's not too much of a pain in the fundament, but what the hey. At the very least, I hope you give it a shot, and if it flops, it flops. The instructions will give examples (in red) to guide you along. Instructions: Each of the items in the list is a clue, similar to idiomuzzles or short connections, to another word. (Ex: "sensing a sense" would be FEEL; "a sad bird" would be DOVE (as in mourning dove). Once all the words in the list have been determined, sets of them must be phonetically put together to make a phrase, word, title, etc. There are five phrases/words/whatnots, all of which are part of a single set. (Ex. If you had DOVE, DREAMS, EL, FEEL, NATURE, and THEN, you could put them together like this: FEEL-DOVE-DREAMS (Field of Dreams) and THEN-NATURE-EL (The Natural), which would be in the set of baseball movies.) Once this first set is discovered, you must determine the "odd one out" among the five (you can guess, or you can just ask which one it is and I'll tell you). The odd one out gives a clue to a second, more personal connection which connects the other four in the set. (Ex: If the movies were Field of Dreams, The Natural, Eight Men Out, Bull Durham, and Stealing Home: Stealing Home would be the odd man out, and the second connection would be "movies which are in my house right now.") Got it? I hope so. If not, don't worry, it's much simpler than you might think. Anyway, here's the list (words are in alphabetical order): What is the final connection between: -a planetary resident, -the new average, -a collect feeling, -a boss, -the highest one not to make the grade, -a Middle Eastern country, -a well-known Christmas baby, -a game's first half, -unusual redness, -a hacker, -a sign from a greater authority, -one of the smaller digits, -a bisected drum, -a workmen's location, and -where knights are often from? Good luck; you'll need it. | ||

OOOOoooOOooOoh... this sounds interesting. Are all of the jumps from your phrases to the sound-alikes essentially single jumps (i.e., from "sensing a sense" to "feel," not from "sensing..." to "feel" to some third word)? Wrote my guesses as to actual words in regular font and my clarification questions in italics... Planetary resident: alien? New average: Cee? Bee? Average as in arithmetic mean? or grade? or neither Collect feeling: Is this related to calling collect? Boss: enemy? chief? Not making grade: F plus? Eff? M.E. country: Iran? Iraq? Christmas baby: Jesus? Game's first half: Is this related to a specific game? sport? Unusual redness: {with regards to a person, like a sunburn? or just any random thing that might have an unusual redness to it?} Hacker: lumberjack? sneaker? hacker re:computers? Sign: omen? Smaller digit: toe? pinky/ie? Bisected drum: percu? ssion? timp? Am I vaguely on the right track here? Workmen's location: site? Knights are from: Orders? UK? | ||

OOOOoooOOooOoh... this sounds interesting. Are all of the jumps from your phrases to the sound-alikes essentially single jumps (i.e., from "sensing a sense" to "feel," not from "sensing..." to "feel" to some third word)? Pretty much, yes. There may be some further extrapolation about certain words in the clue, but no extra jumps will be needed. Wrote my guesses as to actual words in regular font and my clarification questions in italics... Planetary resident: alien? No New average: Cee? Bee? Close enough; I was just looking for B, which should answer the rest of these questions. Average as in arithmetic mean? or grade? or neither Collect feeling: Is this related to calling collect? No Boss: enemy? chief? Referring to a chief, but that's not the right word. Not making grade: F plus? Eff? Right idea, but no. M.E. country: Iran? Iraq? Neither Christmas baby: Jesus? No Game's first half: Is this related to a specific game? Yes sport? Some consider it a sport; others do not. Unusual redness: {with regards to a person, like a sunburn? No or just any random thing that might have an unusual redness to it? Also no. This clue is a bit trickier; it's more like a cryptic clue.} Hacker: lumberjack? sneaker? Neither hacker re:computers? No Sign: omen? No Smaller digit: toe? pinky/ie? Right idea, wrong appendage. Bisected drum: percu? ssion? timp? Neither, but... Am I vaguely on the right track here? Not vaguely, but very! Workmen's location: site? No Knights are from: Orders? UK? Neither The new average -> B (In academics, B has replaced C as the average grade. Teachers complain a lot about this.) | ||

Planetary resident: animal? Middle East country: Egypt? Israel? Jordan? Kuwait? Oman? Smaller digit: Did you see 'toe'? I can't think of appendages other than hand and foot, so I'm hoping you might have missed this one... Bisected drum: Is the pre-bisected drum a snare? timpani? bongo? tomtom (why do I get the feeling it's this)? Tom? | ||

Planetary resident: animal? No, but it's a specific animal Middle East country: Egypt? Israel? Jordan? Kuwait? Oman? None of these Smaller digit: Did you see 'toe'? I can't think of appendages other than hand and foot, so I'm hoping you might have missed this one... When you said pinkie I thought of the pinky toe. Don't ask why because I don't know either. It's part of the hand, but not the pinkie. Bisected drum: Is the pre-bisected drum a snare? timpani? bongo? tomtom (why do I get the feeling it's this)? Because it's correct? =) Tom? Yep! The new average -> B A bisected drum -> TOM (half of "tomtom") | ||

When you said pinkie I thought of the pinky toe. Ahh, I see. Probably because I put toe first. That's all right, it's been figured out :-) -a planetary resident: animal probably starting with A? aardvark? albatross? antelope? alligator? -B -a collect feeling: collect as in accumulating a number of items? as in the prayer? -a boss: head? leader? overseer? -the highest one not to make the grade: failure? flop? Does highest involve elevation? numbers? use of drugs? -a Middle Eastern country: Bahrain? Lebanon? Cyprus? -a well-known Christmas baby: Can I invoke the LTPF list of centuries? -a game's first half: (related to a specific game that some consider a sport) golf? tag? is it multiplayer? involves cards? dice? -unusual redness: sore? rose? -a hacker: cougher? -a sign from a greater authority: sign like a sign on a building or a road sign? -THUMB -TOM -a workmen's location: highway? trailer? -where knights are often from: literature? Germany? Middle Ages? Britain? | ||

When you said pinkie I thought of the pinky toe. Ahh, I see. Probably because I put toe first. That's all right, it's been figured out :-) -a planetary resident: animal probably starting with A? Yes aardvark? albatross? antelope? alligator? Nope. Wrong planet -B -a collect feeling: /i{collect as in accumulating a number of items? as in the prayer?} No. Part of a phrase -a boss: head? leader? overseer? All good synonyms but No -the highest one not to make the grade: failure? flop? Neither. You had the right idea with academics Does highest involve elevation? numbers? use of drugs? None of these -a Middle Eastern country: Bahrain? Lebanon? This one Cyprus? -a well-known Christmas baby: Can I invoke the LTPF list of centuries? Hmmm...20th, but I believe you have an FA -a game's first half: (related to a specific game that some consider a sport) golf? tag? is it multiplayer? involves cards? dice? No to all -unusual redness: sore? rose? Neither but see below -a hacker: cougher? Nope. You're right in that it depends on a different definition of "hack" than is obvious -a sign from a greater authority: sign like a sign on a building or a road sign? It is a road sign -- good one -THUMB -TOM -a workmen's location: highway? trailer? Neither -where knights are often from: literature? Germany? Middle Ages? Britain? No to all but you're getting OTRT with "literature" Unusual redness - Rare? Exactly. The new average -> B A Middle Eastern country -> LEBANON Unusual redness -> RARE (double definition) One of the smaller digits -> THUMB A bisected drum -> TOM | ||

A collect feeling= composed? No, but see next answer Or some variation on the term? Not "variation," more like "synonym" A well-known Christmas baby= Santa (as in Santa Baby, the song)? No, not that song (thankfully) A game's first half= something children play? Anyone can play it As in hopscotch No (in which case, I'd guess "hop" as the first half) You have the right idea of what I meant by "first half" ? A sign from a greater authority= stop? Yes A workmen's location= work? office? or more likely, pub? No to all Where knights are often from= their mothers? :P No, but clever history? Right idea, wrong word A Collect feeling - Gathered? No By games first half do you mean a period of play? No or are we being cryptic and it's the first half of the word like Scra for Scrabble? Yes (but not this game) A sign from a higher authority -> STOP (stop sign, the DOT is the "higher authority") HINTS: A collect feeling: Part of a phrase; a synonym for "composed" A well-known Christmas baby: From a song; not a Christmas song A game's first half: The first half of the name of the game A workmen's location: Figure out the specific workmen Where knights are often from: A synonym of "history" that is often used in relation to knights | ||
