Puzzle 145

Well here we go again! :P Good luck everyone!


Here 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.

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
for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the puzzle, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. 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.

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 your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points) :p

Sorry MOFF H has allready been guessed.:(


Here is the puzzle everyone. I should get some guesses now because it is really easy!;) Good Luck evryone as this is going to be neck and neck.

Researchers at two uni-ersities ha-e disco-ered that blood o- both the

European and
A-rican hed-eho-s contains a lipoprotein identical to one o- those -ound in

human
blood. This lipoprotein contributes to the -ormation o- clots that cause

heart attac-s.
In the past, this particular lipoprotein was only -ound in humans and a -ew

nonhuman
primates. Research is presently bein- conducted and our pric-ly little -riends

may
e-entually contriute a solution to a human health problem.

I've sent a guess :D

Congrats to you Randi! You are the big winner for the day. So what are you going to do next? He he!

Thanks to all who played and I hope you found this fun. Here is the completed puzzle as guessed by Randi:




Researchers at two universities have discovered that blood of both the European

and African hedgehogs contains a lipoprotein identical to one of those found in

human blood. This lipoprotein contributes to the formation of clots that cause

heart attacks. In the past, this particular lipoprotein was only found in humans

and a few nonhuman primates. Research is presently being conducted and our

prickly little friends may eventually contribute a solution to a human health

problem.


Isn't this interesting?

I'll start the next tomorrow, so everybody can have a little break!:D

sounds good to me. Especially cuz I have to go to a wedding in three hours, don't want to miss the vowels, he he!:D

Congrats Randi! :)
