Puzzle #616

[Catty1]

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 are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

There's still a vowel or two left. ;)

It's just the last name I am stuck on!

[cassiesmom]

The name is tripping me up. May I try a G, please.

[Karen]

And a K, please!

[phesina]

U, please.

[Catty1]

No Gs. Sorry, cassiesmom! And OMG I missed an "a". Better go check who guessed that letter! SORRY, Asiel!

People who say they sleep l-ke a baby usually don't ha-e one.

Leo Burke

[Karen]

Well now it is obvious, but I disagree with Mr. Burke. It's the parents who tend to be sleep-deprived around babies, the babies sleep just fine when they want to! ;)

Only a person from Chicago would guess a G (trying to make the last name Burge, like the former police detective who was convicted of torturing suspects for confessions. :rolleyes:!

[Karen]

That was another possibility I considered, but as you guessed "G" before me, I know between us we'd get it! In fact, that's why I hadn;t been sure, I knew Burge was a possibility as much as Burke was, once the "B" was revealed!

[Catty1]

Okay, I got two PMs, one each from Karen and cassiesmom. I don't know who sent theirs first. So - you can decide between the two of you who hosts the next puzzle!

The answer, as you said, was: "People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. Leo Burke"

And Karen, I think Leo was referring to people without babies - as you said, the parents of a new baby are often sleep-deprived.

I'll start a new puzzle tomorrow, as cassiesmom just did one, hope that's okay with her!
