I am a hybrid, a part of two wholes
I became accomplished and then I was sold
But enroute to my new home
Down I rocketed to the frozen bowl
Encased in iron for three days
I lost the courage I had
Found at last by the land's man
I soon began to heal
Never before had I had such love
Harshn...
I have a chain.
I can extend this chain indefinitely.
For beginners, this chain is hard to understand.
They call it magical, yet it is not in reality.
I am used to only declare.
But with this chain, I can finally command.
[Maybe, this chain is made from Io.]
What am I and what is this chain?
"Recalling what" seems an unlikely definition. I suspect either "recalling" is the definition or else &lit. (I don't think "unfeasible" is because the usual word is "infeasible" so I suspect "unfeasible" is contributing to the wordplay.)
If so then an obvious guess is that "terminally unfeasible" is yielding UE. "Say" could be EG and EGUE looks like a fairly natural ending (think "segue" and, though it's a different vowel, "league") but actually there don't appear to be any words matching --EGUE.
I want "recalling what" to be EH< = HE but can't make that work.
I'd like the answer to be MEMORY which fits msh210's remark about not being quite the right part of speech, means "recalling" none the less, and ends in Y, but I can't make any part of the wordplay actually work which is a bit of an obstacle :-).
A family of six is crossing a river with a 2-passenger boat. The family includes the following members: Dad, Mom, Maid, Boy, Girl & Dog. Only the 3 adults can row the boat and the dog counts as a passenger.
The dog will bite if the maid is not present.
Mom will fight with the boy if Dad is not...
A person was killed. There are 4 suspects.
A says C is the killer.
B says C is the killer.
C says that B is lying.
D says that it wasn't him.
There is only one person telling the truth. Who is this person, and why?
To judge from the Google Ngram plot, "unfeasible" was substantially commoner than "infeasible" until somewhere around 1965 when "infeasible" suddenly started to grow, overtaking "unfeasible" in ~1975, at which point usage of "unfeasible" started dropping, and now "infeasible" wins by ~2:1.
I have no idea how representative their corpus actually is.
Yesterday I watched "The man who knew infinity" about the amazing Ramanujan. Inspired by the partitions problem I came up with a puzzle: In how many ways can you partition a 3x3 grid into rectangles and squares?
Good luck!
