@juicifer CCCC: You're first to enter sleep near unknown island, with advertisement about Burmese city (9)
I forgot I had this clue idea when I was trying to solve that clue
y_ in nap + y + i + (da /w)< = naypyidaw
w/ backwards looks like it should be \w and not /w :P
@Jafe yep!
00:58
CCCC: A republic's leaders meet here and neuter disfigured drug mule (9)
01:40
@Jafe n gerulmud*
that's right

CCCC: Band from Georgia, perhaps (11)
 
1 hour later…
03:21
any chance perhaps is an anagrind here
I don't think so, as far as I've tried.
Heck, we don't know whether the Georgia here is the country or the US state.
04:23
If only there were a music group called Vasileiadou.
Well, 'FROMGEORGIA' has 11 letters...
I don't see any band names with two G's, though.
Maybe a synonym for 'band'?
Nah, they're all too short.
Georgia = GA?
Perhaps = PERCHANCE?
GAPER CHANCE???
Where is the definition? Is this a lit.?
@oAlt?
05:03
I have no idea unfortunately
Neither do I.
 
1 hour later…
06:30
Maybe a ddef.?
06:41
maybe
06:58
Band & from Georgia, perhaps
or Band from & Georgia, perhaps
or Band from Georgia & perhaps?
ASSOCIATION, PARTNERSHIP, BROTHERHOOD...
07:50
Does anybody know how one could try to solve this?
I'm guessing if someone did they'd try to solve it
I feel like we need some sort of hint...
08:14
I don't see any wordplay indicators, except for 'perhaps'...
I think I'll start a band called OrgiAperHap.

Q: Seth and Cain take turns picking numbers from 1 to 50. Who wins?

Will.Octagon.GibsonSeth and Cain play a game. They take turns, and on each turn a player chooses a pair of integers from 1 to 50 inclusive. One integer in the pair must be twice the other, and the players cannot choose any integers used previously. The first player who is unable to choose such a pair loses the game...

@msh210 Are you from Georgia though?
08:25
doesn't matter unless this is an &lit
...we still don't know if it's the country or the state.
What type of clue even is this?
...that's part of figuring it out
@PolygonPotpourri … or neither.
08:26
It could be an &lit, an extraction, an anagram, a ddef, or just something we haven't considered
Take letters of 'band' out of a synonym of 'Georgia'!?!?
Georgia BARNES!?
People named Georgia?
Georgia MIDDLEMAN!?
Last name to Georgia or first name to Georgia isn't a bad thought, especially because "X name, perhaps" is something similar I've done. I don't find it likely though, because "from" isn't really a splitter so the def would need to be "Band from" or something
@PrinceNorthLæraðr I feel like 'from' could very well be a splitter, though. 'Coming from'? Pearls 'from' Egypt?
08:31
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh maybe but I wouldn't like it then
we literally just had this conversation
@PrinceNorthLæraðr When?
Not you and I, I was talking about me and someone else
@PrinceNorthLæraðr I know, but could you give me a link, please?
[DEF] from [WORDPLAY] and [WORDPLAY] from [DEF] okay yeah I suppose it could work
@PolygonPotpourri No, because I don't know where
@PrinceNorthLæraðr Ah. Okay.
08:34
The thing is, I don't know if [DEF] from [another DEF] works grammatically
In this case, if "from" is a splitter, it's essentially working as two double definitions and that's not a splitter I can buy
Others may disagree though, so I'm not throwing it out of the realm of possibility
@PrinceNorthLæraðr why not?
I misread that
It's possible, like a short letter to band like TAPE or something?
But then it would need to be an &lit with a synonym of PERHAPS
Georgia - (band) + PERHAPS = "band from georgia, perhaps"
I swear this is sports related because it's Jucifer
Are there any sports players named Georgia
'ASSOCIATION, PARTNERSHIP, BROTHERHOOD...' <- possible words for 'band'
Oh! Maybe it's like a basketball team or something
Southern Pride is the name for the marching band of Georgia Southern University located in Statesboro, Georgia. At over 200 members strong and featuring students from every College and Department on campus, the university's marching band celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2007. Southern Pride performs at all home football games, select away athletic events, parades, and as an exhibition band at marching contests throughout the state and region. Southern Pride has also performed at halftime for the Atlanta Falcons, pregame for the Atlanta Braves, and has had members of its drumline perform on the...
08:39
The only 11-letter one I can find on Wikipedia is GREENJACKETS.
Is SILVERBACKS a band?
Yes
Though I don't know how big they are
It's an ice hockey team.
Yes, but they're also a band
CONCEIVABLY and maybe POTENTIALLY are 11-letter perhapses.
@PrinceNorthLæraðr Searched it, found it.
08:41
Seems a bit small though, and more likely a coincidence
@msh210 POTENT + I + ALLY???
No way,
@PolygonPotpourri I agree
@msh210 Wdym?
The Atlanta Silverbacks FC were an American professional soccer club based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1998 as Atlanta Ruckus, the club played in many leagues over the years before folding after the 2015 season. The team played its home games at Atlanta Silverbacks Park, a large soccer complex featuring a 5,000-seat soccer-specific stadium in Atlanta, 15 miles northeast of downtown. The team's colors were red, black, grey, and white. The club had 2 independent supporter groups, Westside 109 and the Atlanta Ultras. The Ultras were established in 2011 & were known to support both the Silverbacks...
I agree there's no way it's POTENT + I + ALLY.
@PrinceNorthLæraðr that's a band from Ga., but what's the wordplay?
@msh210 It's "from Georgia perhaps" and then "band" is the other definition
I don't think it works though, I'm not very convinced of it
You could try, though!
Meh. I don't think Jucifer would write something like this
Also because there's a band name for most conceivable normal sounding names
I think I'd be more convinced if there was a wikipedia page for it
It seems to indie to be fair
Yeah, definitely.
08:47
@PrinceNorthLæraðr "from Georgia perhaps" can't really clue the name of a group from Ga.
@msh210 Yeah, probably.
why not, specifically?
oh, it's confederate ddef (= band as a verb; = from Ga perhaps as an adj.)
^ @juicifer
@PrinceNorthLæraðr because "from Georgia perhaps" is an adjective
08:49
or I guess technically it can be an adverb also, but not a noun anyway
duh, mismatch of part of spech
I'd forgotten about that
@msh210 Nice find
@PrinceNorthLæraðr thanks
ah nice
@msh210 Great find!
thx
08:52
@msh210 So, next clue?
I'll make sure that that solution was juicifer's intention, first.
@msh210 Alright. Is juicifer asleep, though?
I assume so. His profile on Puzzling says he's in Massachusetts, and it's 4:53 a.m. there.
Maybe he'll wake at 9am?
08:55
Maybe he'll awake at 11:36:21.
Maybe he won't awake at all o.o
@msh210 In his or your time? If yours, put it in his time, please.
@PrinceNorthLæraðr God forbid
@PolygonPotpourri his
@msh210 sorry that was a bit dark :P
That'd be a disaster, if that happened.
08:56
I'm still in Cali time despite being in Hawaii
And it's almost 11 here so it's like 2 am in cali
@PrinceNorthLæraðr Huh.
@PrinceNorthLæraðr Wait, what's that pencil thing?
@PrinceNorthLæraðr Ah.
08:59
ok i'm sorry could you stop pinging me for like every normal convo we're having -_-;
Oh, sorry...
what's wrong with pings, @PrnceNorthLæraðr ?
They make sounds.
Sounds can be annoying.
no worries at all it's just mildly annoying to hear ding when there's like one person I'm talking to while I'm trying to read something xD
well, some of us are deaf, so don't care about sounds
(not me, though)
09:01
thanks for bringing this to my mind :P i'll be sure to ping them relentlessly
Well, guess we have to go now until juicifer wakes up, I guess.
Bye!

11:35
@msh210 Oh, interesting, nice find
thx
I'm waiting for juicifer to join...
One in Manhattan should be awake soon.
12:00
8am in Manhattan.
12:19
You need to chill....
Yeah, perhaps.

@msh210 that actually wasn't the solution I had in mind, although it does work
let's call it one solution to the schrodinger clue that I definitely wrote intentionally
with that in mind, then:
CCCC hint: the enumeration could have been (38) if I was feeling like an a-hole
18:24
Wha–
Anyway I have to sleep already lol
18:52
@juicifer maybe agglutinate ddef? (= to band as a verb; = from Georgia perhaps as an adj. describing the language)
not what I was going for either
and not sure how that fits with the hint
yeah, that one was weak
plus, right, it doesn't fit the hint
Apparently the Georgian alphabet used to have 38 letters. I suspect that that's completely irrelevant here.
19:33
@msh210 or both, if it's an &lit.
TIL that Iberia was a kingdom, part of what is now Georgia. Of course, Iberia is also the Iberian Peninsula, roughly Spain and Portugal. That makes two place names that I know to be major sections of both eastern and western Europe, Galicia being the other.

Q: Pattern Recognition Matrix

user267839Does anybody sees a logical reason why the answer to first puzzle here should be D? (... its obvious that its either D,E or F, but why D?

 
2 hours later…
21:44
presumably according to the hint it's a 3 letter word and an 8 letter word mashed together without a space in between
