Well…I have *something* for 14…not sure I love it but i guess it works. Pretty sure I’m not going to get 11 or 13 without hints, though, so fire away if you have ’em.

Hint for 13. Servant

Hint for 11. Divvy up the remainder….couper la poire en deux.

Thanks, roxsol! Now I think I have 13, but I still don't understand 11...

Carol, the hint for 11 is a phrase my dad used when compromising on a deal. It seemed fair🙂

I do not have #1. Why is the one I cant get something everyone one else gets? A couple of others are shaky but at least I have something.

@patriciae_gw - keep trying until there’s no possibility remaining to be considered! 😉

Thanks, roxsol - got 11! Will keep looking at 13 but nothing is coming to me yet….

Okay, got 13. But 11?

AAAAHH……got 13! Yay! Thanks!

Will try to think of another hint for 11, but roxsol’s did it for me, so not sure if i can come up with something better.

Does it have anything to do with pears? or just the divvying up, compromise stuff?

Oh, and how about 17? I just now kinda sorta got something but I don’t like it.

Lol, bpath it has nothing to do with pears unless there’s an odd one left from a shared fruit basket and you want to make it fair.

Clue for 17, one word. Shyster

(maybe)

Okay, I think I have the same answer for 17, roxsol.

For 11, well, I’m going to have to think on it some more!

Maybe you should think about it some more over a delicious banana and ice cream dessert….

Any hints for #3?

Rusty

Rusty, when two couples go to the movies together, they’re on a ….

Thank you Lettesatoz. I was mulling this while I grocery shopped.

Got it, Roxsol, thanks!

Rusty

I’m not reading discussiob/hints yet. Barely making headway and very frustrated.

I’ve finally gotten back to this and made some headway too, FOAS. Funny, some of the ones others had trouble with i got right away, and some I am struggling with seem to be easy for others. I still need 4, 11, 14 and 19.

I share the latter three, but #4? Really? Literally the easiest one on the board! 😂 All in good fun; I expect to be kicking myself, too, later tonight.

Well, for 3 I had something different!

Still cannot get 11, I’ll slap myself upside the head when I see the answer.

I have answers now for all but 19 and 20. But I'm not at all confidant with some of them, mainly 8, 9, & 12.

Rusty

I'm off to bed, so S.O.B. if you don't want the results :-)

1. Leave no stone unturned

2. Foot in the door

3. Go on a double date

4. Green with envy

5. Look me square in the eye

6. Broken promise

7. Pull up alongside to the curb

8. Excuse me

9. High-grade performance

10. Take on a big job

11. Split the difference

12. He came out of nowhere

13. Wait on hand and foot

14. Suit to a T

15. Know it forwards and backward

16. A period in history

17. Crooked lawyer

18. Get up on the wrong side of the bed

19. Sign on the dotted line

20. Disorderly conduct

I think I have 11 now - thanks rox 🙂

I see 'solution' in the title, but no solution...?

Jasdip, are you playing tricks on us now?

Rusty

I think there will be quite a bit of slapping on the head going on after this one. 🤓

And my tired brain kicked in finally and I got #4. I am really slipping with this puzzle.

And now I see the answer to 14 and 19. I sort of have something for 11 after re-reading the clues, but totally unsure.

OutsidePlaying, this is another clue for 11:

THEDIF FERENCE

😀 I sure hope it’s right😳

@Jasdip, your solution is not showing up.

Got 11!

Okay, I wonder if Jasdip’s post didn’t work because of one of the answers. The letter T in 14 got caught in the filters, maybe.

Darn that Trudeau!

Yes, roxsol! Got it. SMH!

Very strange as I see it from last night. I don't see anything that would flag it.

1. Leave no stone unturned

2. Foot in the door

3. Go on a double date

4. Green with envy

5. Look me square in the eye

1. Broken promise

7. Pull up alongside to the curb

8. Excuse me

9. High-grade performance

10. Take on a big job

11. Split the difference

12. He came out of nowhere

13. Wait on hand and foot

14. Suit to a T

15. Know it forwards and backward

16. A period in history

17. Crooked lawyer

18. Get up on the wrong side of the bed

19. Sign on the dotted line

20. Disorderly conduct

I had ”get up out of bed” but otherwise, thanks to a little help from my friends, got ’em all! Thanks, Jasdip!

I had get up on the right side of the bed. Oh, and undertake a big job.

Thanks, Jasdip 😀

For 3, I had ”undergo an epiphany”, but I couldn’t account for there being TWO epiphanies.

18, I had ”get up from bed”. Close enough, because I don’t see where they got ”wrong side of bed”.

Thanks, jasdip! And i took full advantage of the answers not showing up, and got 11 at 3am thanks to roxsol’s last hint.

I got the same as bpath for #3 and the answer for #11 doesn't make sense to me. For #17 the letters look wavy to me so I had waive a lawyer and for #18 I also had just simply "get out of bed".

I may get the answers wrong but the puzzles still make me think.

Thanks Jasdip!

I had 'Get up from bed' for 18, too. Definitely slapping my head this morning over 19 and 20, how in the world could I NOT get them! ! ! But I didn't. Sheesh! ! But I got all the rest right!

Rusty

I had 'undergo epiphanies', 'pull up to the curb', never got 9, 'undertake a big job', 'he's in the middle of nowhere', 'suits down to a T', and 'get up out of bed'. 13 out of 20 correct.

Oops! I missed #7, I had 'pull up to the curb', too. I don't know anyone who would actually have the word 'alongside' in that sentence.

Rusty

Isnt that redundant to say ’alongside to’? i also had ‘pull up to’. I think we can give ourselves credit, as using ‘alongside’ might be a regional use, as many of these things are. I also had ’get out of bed’ All those similar answers make sense to me. How would you know it’s the wrong side?

I too was grateful the answers werent there yet since i was behind this time. and thanks to friends who helped out, I got them all.

3. i couldnt get past the date even though these haven’t been political

9. pull off an A+ performance

13. Had nothing

14. taking in a suit

17. waive lawyer

19. had nothing

not a good showing for foas!

ETA - Rusty I said ”next to” instead of ”alingside” and gave myself full credit.

I guess get up on the wrong side of the bed is supposed to be a good clue because Get is not the first word and it should be the first word. Bed is the first word we read. So get is literally on the wrong side of bed.

With 8 - 6 = 2 I'm guessing that we are supposed to notice that eight and six are different numbers from each other. Two different things = split the difference.

Sometimes this is such a guessing game. I'm sure eventually it has a rhythm to it but I haven't caught on.

I read too quizkly. I had get up on the RIGHT side of the bes also, and I’d say that’s better.

yeonaasky if I’m understanding correctly i think you’re overthining the equation. thw difference between 8 and 6 is 2, and the 2 is split. So split the difference.

yeonassky - Keep at it. I've been playing this since the beginning and I still don't get them all. But I have to admit that I am seeing more and more patterns and figuring more of them out.

My worst one so far.

Yeonassky, the result of a subtraction problem is called the ’difference’. This wasn’t the first time we’ve had to go back to our school days math class lately. Other terms like sine and pi have factored into recent puzzles too…answers the age old question, ”when am I ever going to need to know this?” 😄
