Thread: Mystery Woody Hands

Hey Mr C, whats the prize for getting right?

Cheers

Is the Hand clue a reference to hand tools?

Therefore is number 1 Woodborer?

HH.

Hey Mr C, whats the prize for getting right?

The honour of knowing that you can recognise the right hands of four eminent woodworkers that you may never have met.

No, that is not a clue, I'm just being polite

Maybe someone could put something up. I don't know, a bottle of Shellawax maybe?

The presence of the coasters on the table indicates that this group has foregathered in some low hostelry with the intention of consuming spirituous licquors. That's no help in eliminating any member of this BB - the majority of whom have an obvious preference for almost any form of grog.

In the fourth photo there is evidence of what looks like a mint lolly and a cup of capuccino. This is clearly intended as a distraction, a red herring. It's intended to make us think that at least one member of the group is some sort of sophisticate. Who the hell could that be?

I'm waiting for more clues before I venture an opinion.

If you tell me who they are, I'll put up an economy-size jar of MFKL

Uhmm.....recognise from where.....a curtained hole in a kings cross establishment?

If you tell me who they are

I could do that Col, but then you would have to be disqualified from the competition

One last thing, I wont reveal any of the identities until all four have been guessed in the correct order - but tomorrow I'll start the old black peg, white peg routine. Here is a free one: one white peg.

Say what? :confused: :confused:

Mastermind: silly game we played as kids:

The play of the game goes as follows:

1) One player, known as the Codemaker, secretly places the 4 Code Pegs in the 4 holes, which are then covered by flipping over the plastic shield to conceal them from the opponent's sight. The Codemaker can use any combination of the 6 colors he chooses. He can also use 2 or more Code Pegs of the same color if he wishes.

2) The other player, known as the Codebreaker, sits opposite the Codemaker and places Code Pegs in the 1st row of the Code Peg holes (closest to him). The Codebreaker is attempting to duplicate the exact colors and positions of the secret code.

3) The Codemaker responds by placing 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 Key Pegs in the Key Peg holes on the 1st row as follows:

(b) A black Key Peg to indicate a Code Peg of the right color and in the right position (without indication of which Code Peg it corresponds to).

(b) A white Key Peg to indicate a Code Peg of the right color but in the wrong position.

(b) No Key Peg to indicate a wrong color that does not appear in the secret code.
.
There is nothing about the placement of the Key Pegs to indicate which particular Code Pegs are meant. It is part of the challenge of the game for the Codebreaker to figure out which Code Pegs correspond to particular Key Pegs. The response when 2 pegs of the same color appear in the secret code and/or in the Codebreaker's row can cause some confusion. The basic principles are that one Key Peg corresponds to one Code Peg and, that black Key Peg takes precedence over a white one

Silent, this is very addictive, more addictive than the X-factor.

Who are they? Can we identify all of them? Where was the pub? How much did they drink? What did they drink? Was it VB or XXXX? Who ate the mint lolly? Are they married or are they single? Are they homosexual, bisexual or nonsexual?

I can’t wait!! :confused:

Just SMS the number of your favourite hand to 123 123 and you'll go in the draw to win 'biggest loser' of the year.

So I got one right??, HH, I knew I recognised one of those hands from somewhere

Cheers

Correct, Mr Squizz, the name of one individual has been guessed correctly but, sadly, attached to the wrong hand.
