Well, I think I have the bonus for a change. But hardly any of the others, for a change. I’m only halfway through my first cup of coffee, and I predict this puzzle will see me going through the whole pot!

Good morning, jasdip, and thanks!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!

I have the bonus - yay!

Stuck on 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 at the moment. (if we’re numbering left to right, top to bottom)

Oooh, I have ’an’ answer for 6 and 7; a (probably bad) guess for 5; still nothing for 2 or 8.

First run through and I got nothing. We've had the gobble gobble one before and I don't even have that.

Pot of coffee is nearly empty, and I have pretty good guesses for 8 of them. Maybe my evening wine will loosen the brain cells and I’ll get the rest. Or, Monday morning coffe. Not giving up!

I think I have them all including the bonus…but I’ve thought that before. Thanks Jasdip.

tj

Happy Think About Infinity Day to all! It could be a very long day indeed.

I’ve got guesses for all of them but that doesn’t mean a darn thing. 😁

Thanks, Jasdip

Well I might actually have something for the bonus.

I think I have 8 from the puzzle and no bonus. I’ll be back!

DH is in IT. He may have given me a hint for #8. If he’s right.

I have guesses for everything except #8 and the bonus.

Rusty

Bedtime, so hopefully tomorrow’s coffee yields me 2, 4, 5, 8, and maybe something better for 3.

#8 had me stumped.

I’ve just done some research (homework) on the old Google and have come up with a guess. Never in a million years would I have figured it out on my own and I’m still not sure if I have.

#4 guess is pretty weak ☹️

Tomorrow is another day. 🌞

Thanks for the idea, roxsol, I followed your lead and went Googling, which gives me an idea for #8. No way I'd ever come up with that on my own, but I'll go with it. For now.

Rusty

I have a few of them but not near enough. Most of my guesses are pretty lame. And maybe the bonus for a change.

I have a guess for #8 but it's a real stretch. I know what the letter/numbers mean but.....

I am completely stumped on #9.

blfenton, in my opinion 9 is depicted kind of backwards, assuming I'm right about the answer. I might have written it as "foindieod" though that's sort of a stretch of the pronunciation.

I'm still stumped on 2 -- anyone have any good hints for that one? I'm also not liking my answer for 5 and am sure there must be something better. ?

I thought 9 was backwards, too, but instead I used a comma to make it “right”.

I think, maybe, I know the first part of 8, and I have ideas for the second part but in googling, I can’t find a real-life usage. Hmm.

Absolutely no clue for 5, and I’d need some kind of accent to make my idea for 4 work.

EDITED my clues that I can’t get, because I also can’t count.

HOWEVER, after roxsol’s comment below, I am changing my answer for 2.

I agree with the comma.

I think 8 could be something one would enjoy doing in 2.

My first thought for 8 was what rox just hinted at, but since I overthink these, it may be something Ralphie would use.

tj

Okay, now I’m trying to figure out what tsu is getting at. Ralphie Wiggum, Ralphie from A Christmas Story, Ralph Klein, Ralph Malph?

Christmas Story.

tj

Ahh. Yes! (I had to a bit of research as I’m not that into gems and jewellery) But, yes I can see that working tsu!

That was my first guess for 8, but he had to undo it, so Annie would have had 8, and Ralphie would have an extra syllable.

I don't know if any of you got #8. I'm lost..... The letters must mean a colour.

1 – Unbroken

2 – Highchair

3 – Foul language

4 – Summer

5 – Cattle (cat ill)

6 – Four seasons

7 – Mutate

8 – Coloring/ For coloring.

9 – Indian food

10 – The underdog

11 – The birds and the bees

12 – Tripod.

And...... Extrovert

4 Black adders

5 Sick spell

I got the rest.

tj

Coloring! I should have googled more than the first one!

5 Catscan. I was not happy with that.

4 Tours. Not happy with that either.

And extravert for the bonus but that is the same as extrovert.

Got the rest.

👍 Black adders !

Thank you, Jasdip 🤠

8 is hex code. DH gave me that, and I googled the first to see that it is red. I should have googled the others, and maybe, must maybe, eventually, I might have gotten the answer!

3, I had bird calls, nowing it wasn’t right.

4, closest I could get was ”awesome”, probably because I was thinking about the ”when did this become acceptable” thread and considering accents.

5, nope, I had nothin’.

But, I had the BONUS!

Wow - got the bonus for a change 😃

How is it 'coloring'? I don't get that one at all. I had 'numbers ring'.

And 'cattle'???

And thanks again, Jasdip 🙂

#4 rock 'n roll

#5 cat scan

#8 ring tone - I knew the hex codes stood for colour formulas but wound up with ring tone although it was backwards.

#10 The top dog.

Best part - I actually got the bonus!

Thanks Jasdip - fun as always

I did get the bonus for a change. Easy. Gad, but Coloring? Please explain. Cat ill, hmmmm. Dim view.

I can explain colouring for you. If you google one of the serial number/letter combinations it will show you a colour and the formula for that colour (technically they're called the hex colour codes) something which I just happened to know. So then you have colour - ring or colouring.

So the answer could be Hex Ring as well, I suppose. A pretty good answer, too.

Never did get 2 - duh!!!

I only got 4 because last week we had ’summary’ (Mary + Mary =) , so I solved this the same way.

I had catscan for 5 but knew it wouldnt be right.

And for 8, I googled them all so knew they were colors, but was literally just typing ”but what does the ring have to do with anything” when it dawned on me - haha - cute. Got the rest.

Thanks, Jasdip!

I had 'cat scan' for #5, too, and frankly, I think it is a much better answer than 'cattle'. And after Googling the numbers and letters in #8, I did actually come up with 'for coloring'. I didn't get the bonus, though, and that makes me feel really dumb now that I know the answer, and it seems so obvious.

Rusty

True - I was thinking of 'CAT scan' as well, but that doesn't make sense either. The only thing I can imagine is that if you're used to reading right to left, it would work. I do notice the ESL designation on the bottom right of the graphic, so I'm guessing these are designed for English learners...?

Thank you BL
