Good morning, Jasdip.

I hope you have a great day.

Thanks for the puzzle.

Morning, all! Don't have the answer yet - will give it some thought. But, rox, do you play the daily Tightrope puzzle? Question 4 today made me think of you!

letters, I don’t play it. I’ve never heard of it!

Okay, off to do some research!

LOL! Great game, letters.

I bombed out after question 4. Definitely not my lucky word.

I have an idea. Thanks, Jasdip.

Hmm. A thought comes to mind but I rather doubt it’s the solution….

A thought comes to mind, and regardless of how well it fits I KNOW it’s not the solution!

I looked up Tightrope too. I missed 2 but scored 1670 pts!

i was on a good guessing spree but then luck ran out

Ooh -thanks for the game rec - I tried today's and missed #4, but I got all the rest - fun 🙂

As for this brain game, as usual I'm stumped 😄

LOL! I just got it, I think. It’s a good answer, anyhow. My FIL used to tell a joke sort of along the same line.

Here goes!

Did you get Reversible???

Yes, I did!

Thanks, Jasdip

My FIL joke:

There was a man who lived on a farm with his wife in the middle of nowhere. All they owned was a truck, a few cows, and an old bull. They didn't have much, but they were happy.

One day, the farmer woke up and found that the bull had died. He went to his wife and said, "I take our money into the town and buy us a new bull. I know you need the truck here to keep the farm running, so when I get us a bull, I'll send you a telegraph so you know when to pick us up."

His wife went and got the money and then said goodbye.

The farmer arrived in town late that day and had to get a hotel room. The next morning he only had 401 dollars left. He went to the market and was able to buy a strong, young bull with the 400 dollars. It had been a long time since he had been to town, but as long as the telegraph prices hadn't gone up, he should be able to send a full sentence to his wife with his dollar.

When he arrived at the post office, he said to the telegraph operator: "I need to send a message to my wife so she can pick up my bull and I. How much is a word?"

"Prices went up a few years ago," replied the operator. "A word is 1 dollar."

"Oh no," said the farmer "I can only send one word!"

He thought for a little while and then said, "Ok, send my wife the word 'comfortable.'"

"Comfortable? Are you sure?" asked the operator.

"My wife has a 4th grade education," the farmer replied. "When she reads she has to sound each word out syllable by syllable. She’ll understand.”

Yep, thanks again.

Jasdip - of course I did not get reversible. But, it’s pretty clever.
