4:00 AM

i can't see any other possibilities, so im ok with those

rabbit seems closer than dog, lead with that?

sure

RABBIT

rabbit be red

DOG

yay

4:01 AM

dog be blue

yay

oh no

awh what

!board

if it were both of them the clue would have been animal related

4:01 AM

user image

although with velvet i haven't got a clue either :P

well what on earth would fit..... COLD?

OK, I think the next TSA is Pistol

that was a mean clue for only 2 words

possibly marble?

like how there was a rubber -> plastic clue earlier, theyre both materials

4:03 AM

ahh, velvet and marbel kinda fit because they would both be in a fancy home :D

I thought that, since they're both materials.... so different though

Blue turn, BTW

yeah rabbit and marble are totally different

yeah, at least rubber and plastic are both synthetic

its possible he didnt intend rabbit for velvet though

4:03 AM

BLUE SYNTHESIZER, 2

[pass]

user image

uh oh

gg guys

shiro broken?

4:04 AM

!reboot

It was too close to call.

just refresh.... it uploads async

!board

user image

better

4:05 AM

lord.. why does 0' give clues for random words. first its an american only company and now this

we can play without the board tbh

Wasn't there an image-host option to change the hosting site? From puush to imgur for instance?

!imagehost imgur

@ffao change host to imgur?

!board

4:06 AM

user image

synthesizer... the only thing im getting for it is link

link, maybe plate

why plate?

oh, beat

why beat?

4:07 AM

beat, link

beat because music

synthesizers are related to music and rhythm, hence beat

ooh

I didn't know, go for it

and they're digital, so... code?

BEAT

beat is blue

4:08 AM

I kinda like code

beats are generally red to purple actually

yeah if its rhythm then code would be best

that's beets

bears, beets, battlestar galactica

Not fan of either code or link

4:08 AM

Any objections to CODE?

but go for it

CODE

i got that reference Mike xD

code is blue

classic office

4:09 AM

I think we're done then

ok, it's possible that the 4th TSA was also for CODE, and we should pass

[PASS]

unless the 4th for TSA is stil up

wait

user image

you get one more...

4:10 AM

more likely last TSA was beat

so code and synth are both 0

sorry

TSA and synth both have nothing left

@Jesse FYI about the rules: If the clue is Word (X), then we can make up to X+1 guesses

passes are undoable.

since they don't reveal anything

I stand by it

Ok I'm going then

4:11 AM

@MikeQ but we had guessed all of the clues, SYNTHESIZER and TSA both seem like they are used up

RED: MINOTAUR (2)

it would have been a random guess

ok so greece

buck and calf?

ah that fits too

why only 2

4:12 AM

it says 2

I typed 3 earlier by accident. It has been corrected.

no I know I mean only giving us 3 guesses basiclly seals our fate

minotaurs have horns, so I'd say buck over calf

we'll see

greece, buck seem good?

yeah i would guess buck then greece

we can do greece first

GREECE

4:14 AM

greece is red

technically speaking, the minotaur was a legendary monster, and thus unique

BUCK

buck is blue

...

I am really interested to know what some of these clues were...

sheeit

whats the bottom half of minotaur again? its a horse right

4:15 AM

why do you do this to us

@dooog Bull and Man, I think

a minotaur is a half human half bull

you are thinking centaur @dooog

so i guess calf wouldve fit better

ahhhhhh yeah whoops

minotaur has a bull head with human figure

yeah calf was better guess there in retrospect

4:16 AM

calves dont have horns and can be male or female. it was still bad.

i would still have said buck :D

well at least calf and bull are the same species

BLUE: BLACK, 2

Horses don't have bottom halves

!board

4:16 AM

mole, mass

user image

i think this one is pretty clear

ooh marble maybe

you can get black marble

@Jesse why mole + mass = black ?

ninjas are often depicted as wearing black

indeed they are

Def ninja

4:18 AM

actually wore dark blue tho

and gunmetal is black

@Sid sorry forgot you joined our team haha

@quartata actually they dressed in common clothes, because they didn't want to stand out, but that's not really important right now

black mass is a thing, and a movie, moles are black, marble can be black and ninjas are classic black

i think ninja is the safest. its more iconic

NINJA

ninja is blue

4:20 AM

im not sure, mole can be brown if you mean on the skin, and my tie in with a weight measurement does not work because ninja was one

so im leaning towards marble or mass now

black mass sounds familiar, but i cant remember what it is

probably marble

Black ninjas come from Japanese theaters, where stage hands wore black clothing and viewers knew to ignore them.

black mass is a scientific term, but it is also a movie

... scientific term?

4:21 AM

i am not positive..

i was thinking along the lines of dark matter

You mean dark matter?

yeah

plus black holes are very heavy xD

but we are getting a bit tangential.. im happy to lock in marble

Maybe it's a Catholic thing?

no its not

its a space thing

different meaning of mass there.

4:22 AM

Black mass isn't a space thing.

dark matter was discovered by its affect on other galaxies that we have noticed

so its a space thing

and black holes are in space

Dark matter =/= black mass

yeah i realise that

i got the wrong term

just say marble

MARBLE

Anyhow, I'm ruling out carrot, well, calf, plate, pumpkin, fish, link

oh. ok. the old Leeroy Jenkins strategy.

marble is red

4:24 AM

marble is red baybe!

damn.. sorry guys

there we go baybee

!board

user image

maybe he meant the movie? or he was mixing together black holes and dark matter like i was

4:25 AM

looks at Jesse's profile

> Gold Coast

wow that's really close

Anyway, CALF was probably Minotaur...

are you in brisbane or something?

yeah. pretty surprised how many people in Puzzling are here (or near here)

ok so weve got calf confirmed

red needs a (4) clue

4:25 AM

i lived there while i was at qut

So, if that is correct, WW should give us a (4) clue NOT cluing CALF again...

or perhaps unlimited and roll some dice

RED: Autumn unlimited.

pumpkin for sure, maybe cold, wind?

cold, wind, carrot maybe

let's lead off with pumpkin, calf, wind

4:29 AM

@sid objections?

Why Cold and Carrot?

Autumn is windy?

im not totally sold on carrot, but i could see cold, since autumn is kinda cold

I was thinking autumn harvest.

But, I have no objections on Pumpkin and Calf.

it is orange like pumpkins

is carrot cake an autumn thing?

PUMPKIN

4:31 AM

pumpnkin is red

CALF

(Although a better idea is that we just revisit the old clues and see what we have missed so far)

calf is red

ok ok

WINDY next?

What were the previous clues again?

4:32 AM

velvet 2, minotaur 2

autumn is pretty windy in most places, if not cold

maybe he clued velvet since red velvet is a cake, like carrot cake?

Cold fits velvet and autumn directy

i like cold here

is velvet known to be cold or something? I don't see the connection

velvet scarf or some such garment

4:34 AM

hmm alright

maybe go for it. It's not like we have much to lose right now.

COLD

cold is red

wind next?

Okay, 2 remaining.

4:35 AM

good, good

Even if Wind is correct, what's the last word?

o/

still unsure of which 2 velvet would correspond to

!joingame

hello mic

4:36 AM

Hi micsthepick, you'll be joining team blue!

fairly confident in carrot

BLUE: 0 ', Jesse, John Dvorak, Mike Q, micsthepick

why carrot again?

yeah at first glance i would choose wind and carrot

whi is 0 ‘

4:36 AM

Joining in just to reap the fruits? :P

who*

go for windy frst?

@micsthepick that's me

carrot since it seems like a fall thing

ah

4:37 AM

and it's similar-ish to pumpkin

Carrot sounds more like a winter-thingy to me.

yeah lets go wind

wind seems directy reated to cod though... safer

he had to think of a clue for 4 words, maybe some were a stretch

WINDY

4:37 AM

Genetically, pumpkins are closer to humans than to carrots

windy is not on the board

but wind is yellow

err... Windy isn't on the board.

type it again

@quartata

WIND

doesnt matter. he said wind is yellow

4:38 AM

shiro needs to know

it matters for shiro to keep track

mhm

!board

user image

BLUE WEIGHT, 1

4:38 AM

sigh

this should be 2

mass?

id like to point out that mole is a unit of measurement

although its obviously mass

mole != mass

Mole is a unit of amount

4:39 AM

why is WW such a mean SM

6.023e23

obviously fish is a unit of weight

these are cruel clues

should I do it?

MASS

4:40 AM

how much does it weigh? 1 mole is a viable answer, although yes he clearly means mass

mass is blue

yay i win

that was a really good showing at the end btw. Much better than I would have expected given my pretty shitty clue.

gg

!finalboard

4:40 AM

!finalboard

mass is actually different to weight

gg

@Jesse no, it's not

user image

VELVET was CZECH and RABBIT

4:41 AM

Okay. No way, we were going to get CZECH and WELL...

well, weight may change where mass doesn’t

MINOTAUR was CALF and GREECE

CZECH?

one mole of oxygen is sixteen times as heavy as one mole of hydrogen

this apparently? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution

4:41 AM

AUTUMN was PUMPKIN and COLD

haven't heard of it before though

@JohnDvorak yes. one mole of oxygen represents a specific WEIGHT of oxygen

Thus 1 mole of glucose weighs 180 g.

Velvet revolution. We know how to change the government type without bloodshed.

omg carrot was assassin

yes Velvet revolution and Velvet divorce were what I was thinking of

4:41 AM

@Jesse no.

ohhhhh

also velveteen rabbit

yeah after I thought of rabbit I was stuck on the material

hard to clue rabbit without carrot or mole

well done team

4:42 AM

very close tbh, it was just unfortunate that we chose 2 blue clues

:)))

hence dog for fur

weight = force caused by gravity

@JohnDvorak look it up, it is an amount yes. but in chemistry it is used as an amount of that substance with reference to a specific weight

mass is the amount of matter, which is different to weight if we are talking about physics

by the same logic, volume = mass

4:43 AM

which would be different for different substances

apparently black mass is a crime drama film, unrelated to outer space

black fish is a documentary

Put a mole of ozone into a closed box. Soon enough you'll have 1.5 moles of oxygen in there.

blanck mass is also an album

going to go through a cellular dark zone

4:44 AM

heat up the very same box to a few thousand K, and suddenly there's 3 moles inside.

plus a couple of moles of electrons

@Jesse sorry about the TSA clue, I wanted to do airport security but since it was not a proper noun, I couldn't. I also considered expanding the acronym but I was worried that americans might miss it then.

TSA was a good clue

@0' with black mass were you thinking the movie? the albumn? or black holes?

I was thinking black holes but the connection was super tenuous. I was mainly intending you guys to get ninja and then hoping you might get mass afterwards

called it xD spacey stuff was the right train of thought eheheh

4:47 AM

For the record, the intended fourth word for TSA was DOG

ahhh

makes sense

sniffer dogs, fair enough

that works, yes

I did like BEAT, though

rematch?

but I wasn't super concerned since the ones you might guess incidentally for that clue were blue or yellow

4:48 AM

I'll play

I'm out, I gotta do homework

not me

can play, will have to wait to SM for when I get home

test

@JohnDvorak it sounds like you are well aware of the difference, but during that whole conversation this hilarious old highschool video kept popping up into my head: youtube.com/watch?v=1whMAIGNq7E

and the amount of moles of a substance is just its mass :D I just wanted to say it technically could technically be either. cabrillo.edu/~cfink/chp4.pdf

you mean molar mass?

5:00 AM

yeah thats what you use

to get the mass, from the moles

molar mass != mass

but you still need to convert

the point is they are related

mass and mole maybe

and since neither of them are technically weight, who knows :P

6 hours later…

@Scrooble oh no, I was sleeping!
