"A previous (8) of the dormitory (8) a snake into the room of the (8) engineering student."
RESIDENT - INSERTED - TRENDIES. (It's the best I could come up with)

You got the first two right. What word (the superlative form is used here) is often used to describe engineers?

I had "the classroom," but abandoned it because it doesn't "describe" a schoolmaster.

It's not a proportion, so each cut takes 15 minutes, and to split it into four pieces you would need to make 3 cuts.

Commiserations to the Canadian Lumber Board. 2 hours 37 minutes was barking up the wrong tree.

In that case, this is the nerdiest answer - ever, and one I would ever use in polite company. :wink:

Neither. If at each turn, you can add subtract or change a letter, you can probably produce a large number (most?) of the words in the language starting with a single word. On the other hand, the language is finite, so you can't go on forever (without repetition).

Good idea.
There has been a feeble response from the EU crowd. The nearest answer came from a peer of the realm who sent in:

Jack and Jill were working in a factory. One day the
supervisor approaches Jill and says, "Jill. I'm afraid I'm
going to have to lay you or Jack off." Jill replies, "Well,
you better lay Jackoff because I'm too tired."

That was very ?'pail'. :wink:

(DAD BEDDED A BAD BAD BABE)

Mark, you have replaced Captain Marvel (or, possibly Wonder Woman) as my new super hero. Laughing


For the rest of you poor non-super heroes one way to solve this problem is:


+ Question 20 should be E as noted.

+ Question 1 cannot be A or B and question 2 cannot be B because of question 1

+ The pair 10 and 16 have answers A and D respectively.

+ The pair 6 and 17 do not have answers A,C,E. Question 2 says that question 16 and 17 cannot have the same answer leaving only answer B acceptable for question 17 and D for 6.

+ Question 13 says that the answer A can be removed from question 3,5,7,19 and 13 itself because than the answer C will be correct. Therefore, answer C for 13 and A for 9 are not correct. We know that question 17 has answer B so answer E is wrong as well. The answer A for question 11 conflicts with question 1, leaving only D as an answer to question 13.

+ Question 15 has answer A and so does question 12.

+ Question 9 and 10 cannot have the same answer and so with 10 and 11. Answers D,E for question 2 are not right.

+ Question 7 leaves answers A,C,E possible for question 8. The available answers to 3 and 4 also remove answer A.

+ Question 2 removes the answers: D for 5, E for 7, A&D for 14, B for 18 and E for 19.

+ The answer B is not correct for 5 and so answer E is not right for the first question.

+ Answer D for 5 was removed. Thus, we can remove D for question 4.

+ The sum of answers A or E is 6 or 8 (question 8). Because of question 1 the answer to question 4 must be the remaining odd number 5 - answer B.

+ Question 3 may have answer B or D (odd number) leaving answer E for 5.

+ Questions 5 and 20 have answer E so B is not correct for 3 leaving only D. So the answer to question 1 is D and the answer to question 8 is E.

+ All answers E for all remaining questions are wrong.

+ Question 9 and question 8 cannot have the same answer (E) leaving answer A for 2 and D for 7.

+ There are 5 answers A (question 4) 3 answers E (question 3) and more than 5 answers D (question 14) leaving only answer A suitable for 18.

+ Answer B is not correct for 9 (conflict with 11) and also C is wrong,leaving only D.

+ Question 1-10 are filled so the answer for 11 is B.

+ There are three questions with answer B (4,11,17), two open questions(14,19) and according to 18 there should be five B answers so we fill B for 14 and 19.

+ A good check is to count the number of D answers which is 7 right like the answer to 14.

So now you know. :wink:
