PUZZLE 454


Attention new players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle –

-- --- ------------ -- ---- --- ------- ----- ---- -- --,

---- --- ------ ---- -- ---- --- ------- --- -- --.

I'll select O. I'm off for the day, so I'm sure that by the time I return, the puzzle will be done. It isn't out of the realm of possibilities that another one could be completed as well! You guys rock the puzzles! Enjoy your day!!

Yes, Kirsten had the correct quote - and showed me the error of my ways, as one more letter is in the wrong place. I'm correcting it with this post, and adding Pinot's Mom C.


I- the Constit-tion is -hat the S--re-e Co-rt sa-s it is,

then the stri-e -one is -hat the ---ires sa- it is.

Wow, I just got home and am amazed that the puzzle is still going. Alas, I can't solve it either. So...

I'll guess M please.

We have a winner!! Quietly, Karen watched and waited, and then pounced :)

She said she will do the next puzzle.

If the Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is, then the strike zone is what the umpires say it is.

I'm reading a book about baseball umpires, and this quote was in it. When I tried to find it on-line, I couldn't - so figured I would pull a Karen :)

I need to apologize to those across the ocean - I didn't think, until it was posted, that baseball is mostly foreign to you all.

Well, I almost got to play! HAHA

Congratulations Karen!

Thank you for the thought Grace, because I don't understand the quote even now that the puzzle is solved. :D

Thank you for the thought Grace, because I don't understand the quote even now that the puzzle is solved. :D

I wonder if I can explain somewhat. Better yet, this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_zone) can explain it better.

Every umpire seems to have his own variations on a theme.

As for the first half, our Supreme Court can, and often does, interpret the Constitution contrary to what some feel is correct.

Have I helped - or just made things worse :confused:

Thank you, that was most helpful! I fully understand now.
