9:00 AM
4, 5.
Around "on", vehicular warning
John Dvorak
7 wild stab: bezeque?
Sp3000
Eh, close enough - it's BEZIQUE :P
ffao
contact 4,5
Sp3000
(posted that not necessary for people to get, just wanted to show I'm thinking of clues atm)
John Dvorak
There are only 36 options, I could have just enumerated them :P
4 boulders?
Sp3000
9:02 AM
4 is not boulders
John Dvorak
oh, 4,5 baby on board
ffao
where did you get 36 from? o_O
Sp3000
4, 5 is indeed baby on board
John Dvorak
All the vowels, and -que kept
as4s4hetic
isn't that 25
John Dvorak
9:03 AM
I include Y
as4s4hetic
ah
Sp3000
182.
...
John Dvorak
was that the year of a famous BATTLE?
Sp3000
Hmm not that I know of, but I'm not very good at history
182'.
Type of group 182. refers to
182''.
Homophone of 182', or what you'll become if you misbehave here
John Dvorak
I was going to guess "182 something about the BYZANTINE empire", but that no longer seems to be the case.
182'' banned?
ffao
9:07 AM
contact 182s
Sp3000
I wanted to clue BYZANTINE earlier in the BY round but I don't actually remember what it was :P
182'' is indeed BANNED
John Dvorak
in which case 182' could be BAND
Sp3000
Yup 182' is BAND
John Dvorak
182 - a BRAID is sort of a band
Sp3000
182 is not BRAID
John Dvorak
9:09 AM
182 BLINK
Sp3000
60, 61.
Lab equipment
182 is BLINK
John Dvorak
60, 61 - beaker
ffao
I, also like Jan, had to go in the reverse direction with the 182 clues
Sp3000
Neither 60 nor 61 are beaker (although that is indeed a lab equipment)
ffao
though I imagine someone familiar with rock would contact 182 on sight
John Dvorak
9:10 AM
182s - very nice series of clues
Sp3000
Yeah 182' and 182'' was just to make it more obvious, because they're from a while back now I think? (not sure if still active)
John Dvorak

Sp3000
60, 61. Yup

as4s4hetic

John Dvorak
Why would beef be nonsense?
reveal 11 please
as4s4hetic
11: baloney/bologna
Sid
9:20 AM
Doesn't beef mean having a nonsensical argument?
John Dvorak
I don't think 4,6 is bad boy...
Sp3000
4, 6 (update).
____ as a ______, or type of program that takes a long time to finish
ffao
bologna for meat?
Sp3000
Not bad boy (updated because that's a better way to clue it)
John Dvorak
Spaghetti bolognese are spaghetti with a meat sauce
as4s4hetic
9:21 AM
It was actually baloney, since bologna is sometimes spelt baloney
Mr. Xcoder

6 is not batter
John Dvorak

6 butter?
Sp3000
