I‘m sure today’s pig-themed screen shot quiz is on the way, but I found these to be a little bit more challenging. Wired online posted these little brain busters from a board game designer named James Ernest at “The Amazing Society,” a Web game developer in Issaquah, Washington.
While there are a bunch of these, I found the one I copied below to be a good one (since it stumped me – and it shouldn’t have!):
Answer this clue using only the following letters once each:
AEHIMNOPTX
Your clue is: SIMON OR RIVER ________?
Using each letter only once, there are actually two answers with the provided letters.
see the answer below the seats!
Phoenix (the actor and Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man
and
Tam (from “Serenity” / Firefly)
Dude, is it totally sad that as soon as I saw Simon the first things I thought of was this:
No. Not sad at all.
Actually, to be completely honest, THIS is the first thing that came to mind:
It’s a good thing the Serenity screening is coming up again in a few months. It’s been almost a year since I last saw Serenity!
I immediately thought TAM, but I was trying to make one word or phrase that included all the letters. And I didn’t think Phoenix at all.
