I guess it depends on the device, I see two words. It doesn't matter, though, I still didn't get it. Yet.

Haven't gotten C3, either, and I'm tossing a few around for A3.

I actually think I have them all - yay me!!!

Still working on A3 and the bonus.

OH! Funny how setting it aside for a few moments, then glancing back (with half a cup of coffee in me) and the bonus LEAPED off the page at me (not a hint, btw)

Back to C3 and A3.

Just missing C3, it can’t be as easy as what it literally is, can it?

Oh wait I’m missing A3 also. Had it backwards.

No way will anyone get C3; can't see it happening.

^ Oh, bummer. Well then I guess I better start thinking of alternatives. But , it sounds like we’re not going to like the answer, which means that as a group, we can overrule it and give ourselves credit. Doesn’t it?!?? 😄

Rats ! C3 isn’t what seems to be the obvious answer? ☹️ Sheesh, and I have an earworm over that one.

Nope, dont have C3 I guess since it’s not the obvious. I don't have the bonus yet as usual. Will study that one more. And here I thought i was on a roll. 😢

edited: Oh wait!! I just looked at the bonus again and now I suddenly get it!

Rox, this one?

lettersatoz, your post won’t open. ☹️

This is what I’m hearing in my head. We’ll mark our answers correct if they are the same.🙂

To heck with Jasdip’s answer😉

^^ oooh, that’s an even better one.(Mine was an even more obscure 80s one hit wonder, but it’s the one that always comes to mind when people start counting back from 10.…it was Face to Face ”10, 9, 8”.)

😀 I think we all must be on the same wavelength but from Jasdip’s comment we don’t have the right answer. Still thinking 🤓

eta Your last comment now has me thinking about what your song is. Haha, a puzzle within a puzzle. 😁

eta Oops, I’m so preoccupied, I didn’t properly read your whole post. Yes!

Well, I guess I got C3 wrong. But that's dependent on how we rule.

blfenton, lettersatoz has set the tone. Anarchy rules! Oi, oi oi. 😎

Lol, still thinking.

Got them all at first glance except C1 and 2..

Roxsol, that is what I thought for C3 also, but I suppose it’s a no-go so we’ll have to scrub. I can think of one or two other phrases that come to mind. If you want me to give a hint of the way I’m thinking, let me know. It has to do with the line of work I did.

Oh yes please, Outside Playing. I haven’t got any other ideas.

Someone in Mission Control would make the announcement.

Another idea is that we just celebrated it in Times Square.

I could be wrong on both of these ideas. I like the first one best as many may not get it.

missing lettersatoz

(That’s my answer for C3)

A1 Up for grabs

A2 Age before beauty

A3 Travelling south of the border

B1 Adversaries

B2 A fly in the ointment

B3 Walk on By

C1 Tomorrow afternoon

C2 Parting of the red sea

C3 Bo Derek getting older ????

D1 Sandbox

D2 Split level

D3 Mind over matter

And........Rumor mill

I don’t think you had enough question marks after C3!

I mean, I get it, but I’m glad I didn’t say it! 😂

(Got the rest.)

Nope, just nope. There is no way I ever would have come up with that for C3. Nope 😐

Thanks, Jasdip 🤠

Holy Cow - Bo Derek is 65!!!! I did not get that answer BUT in other news I FINALLY got the bonus.

Nope, didn't get C3 at all, not even close. My other solutions were way off and dont even get the Bo Derek answer. I’m just happy I did get the rest.

????????????????????

Is that enough question marks? I mean, really?

I thought C3 was countdown. But Bo Derek? That's a reach to remember her movie "10".

Yeah, ok, I WAS going to feel badly objecting to whatever the answer ended up being, because I hate to be a sore loser, but COME ON!!!!!!!

Just…..no. The answer is countdown, period. I hereby declare all regular Brainiacs correct, and the Puzzle Maker incorrect.

(Thanks, Jasdip - still fun, even when they try to throw us for a loop!)

I thought I had C3 but of course, I didn't. And I think that's an ageist comment.

I also thought countdown but considered Liftoff.

Considering there were dashes after the 5, who would think of anything else but something along these lines?

I agree with everyone on C3! I have absolutely no earthly idea what Bo Dereck might have to do with a countdown!

But I did get all the rest of them right, including the bonus. So I'm claiming 100%!
