Red: Wing (3)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

wings help things FLY

I'm having errors

Hosch250

BBIAB.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Flying requires a PILOT usually

Hosch250

Got to move my car to the other side of the driveway.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

so FLY for sure

FLY

Shiro

21:02

FLY is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

PILOT

Shiro

PILOT is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Now I'm thinking the wing of a building

nothing else sticks out

SUPERHEROes don't have wings, they fly in other ways

same with the gods of OLYMPUS

and the human TORCH

so stop thinking about flying and start thinking wing

I want to say PORT but the terms port and starboard are nautical, not aviation related

I don't see a third wing word except port though

unless "Berlin Wing" is a thing

Berlin Wall was a thing

Pretty sure the wings of the White House are just cardinal directions, although relative to what, I actually don't know. Probably either the Oval Office or the front entrance

wait

things with wings can also have BILLS

like ducks

but "Port wing" makes too much sense to me

PORT

Shiro

21:07

PORT is Yellow (neutral)
It is now Blue's turn

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@HTM like I said, no clue what you were going for aside from the two I got

Red: 2008 Summer Olympics (5)

!who

Shiro

Red currently has 6 guesses remaining.

HTM

Just to make sure the number in front didn't mess things up

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

That's gonna be tough, I don't know sports

I wasn't looking that up, but I was looking at other irrelevant stuff before this clue

Crud, Clearly either Australia or Beijing was intended; I don't know where they were that year

you PLAY sports

let me check the backlog

the Olympics have TABLE tennis

so I'm confident on PLAY and TABLE

PLAY

Shiro

21:24

PLAY is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

TABLE*

Shiro

TABLE* doesn't appear to be on the board...

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

TABLE

Shiro

TABLE is Blue
That's too bad.
It is now Blue's turn

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

msh210

um?

Mithical

...wrong keyboard

msh210

yeah, figured :-)

Hosch250

Is an internet translator allowed? :D

Mithical

Either STICK or SCREEN. But probably STICK.

Avi

@Mithical This is what happens if you use a stick as your display device

msh210

21:36

probably not superhero, right?

Mithical

@msh210 Perils of having two conversations in two different languages at once:)

@msh210 Probably not.

HTM

What's even better is that you can still kinda tell what that's supposed to mean based on the context

msh210

@Mithical then stick, methinks

Mithical

STICK > SCREEN

msh210

wait

could also be torch, as in flashlight

no, there's surely a better way to clue torch and laser

come to think of it, there's also probably a better way to clue laser and stick

so maybe screen is best

Avi

21:40

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Upvote any user's first post, I think

Mithical

@msh210 don't think so

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

Oh thanks

Mithical

I'm more confident in STICK

msh210

okay fine

go for it

Mithical

STICK

Shiro

21:42

STICK is Blue

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I just voted myself a hat

Mithical

No backlog, so passing

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

when will it show up?

Mithical

[pass]

Shiro

Hosch250

21:43

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus A few seconds to a few hours, depending on the hat.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

No, I have the hat, I meant on my avatar

Hosch250

Some seem to tie into other triggers and can be awarded right away. Others are timed jobs.

HTM

Red: Roasting (unlimited)

Hosch250

Oh, you need to put it on manually in your user profile :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

No, I did that

msh210

21:44

@Mithical glad we went with it :-)

Hosch250

In chat, it'll take a few hours.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

oh ok

Hosch250

Unless a mod refreshes your profile.

Mithical

Or a mod can kick the cache.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

roasting impllies fire

so

TORCH

Shiro

21:44

TORCH is Red

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

of the two places I was considering, AUSTRALIA is hotter

AUSTRALIA

Shiro

AUSTRALIA is Blue
Oh, dear.
It is now Blue's turn

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

crap, 2008 summer was Beijing, wasn't it

when was the one in Sydney, then? I Know that happened too

msh210

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus dunno but it's kinda weird to call it the summer Olympics if it's winter

Hosch250

blue: Hermione(1)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:46

good point

Also hey, my hat showed up

msh210

she was a nut

that must be it

Mithical

WITCH

WITCH is Blue

msh210

what?

Hosch250

Blue: Australia, Table, Laser, Stick, Berlin, Witch, Olympus, Dress, Shoe
Red: Nut, Torch, Fly, Foot, Beach, Pilot, Beijing, Play
Neutral: Screen, Superhero, Bill, Port, Block, Press, Honey
Assassin: Moon

Wood: table, stick, witch, potential torch
Clothing: Dress, Shoe
Weapon: laser, stick, potential pilot
Ballet: dress, shoe, witch, potential play

Went with clothing, both got

Red plays wing: 3 (fly, pilot, ?)
Fly and pilot seen; opponent is also confused
Guessing foot, since it's another body part

@msh210 How in the world???

HTM

21:47

@msh210 Thanks for the chuckle, I needed that :)

Codenames 12-14-19

Start time: 12:46 PM

RED: HTM, ThePuzzlingPlatypus
BLUE: Hosch250, Mithical, msh210 (1:35 PM)
BLUE goes first!

Seed: 958328431
Red: NUT, PLAY, TORCH, FLY, FOOT, BEIJING, BEACH, PILOT
Blue: AUSTRALIA, TABLE, LASER, STICK, BERLIN, WITCH, OLYMPUS, DRESS, SHOE
Yellow: SCREEN, HONEY, BILL, SUPERHERO, PRESS, PORT, BLOCK
Black: MOON

FLY + PILOT + BEIJING = “China Airlines,” could hit AUSTRALIA and BERLIN as they are popular flight destinations too.
PLAY + FOOT + BEACH = “Copacabana,” not sure if my guesser knows what that is though. But “Rio de Janeiro” probably won’t get PLAY.

Wingnut (hardware)

A wingnut, wing nut or butterfly nut is a type of nut with two large metal "wings", one on each side, so it can be easily tightened and loosened by hand without tools. A similar fastener with a male thread is known as a wing screw or a wing bolt. == Types == ASME B18.6.9 classifies wing nuts first by manufacturing method and then by style. Type A are cold forged or cold formed produced in regular, light and heavy dimensional series. Type B are hot forged solid nuts available in three different wing styles. Type C are die cast nuts available in three wing styles with variances between regular and...

This was the first time that China had hosted the Summer Olympics, but the third time that the Games had been held in East Asia, following...

Hosch250

@msh210 relief

@HTM I figured that out eventually :)

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I only vaguely remembered that

HTM

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus Read those please, then get back to me when you finally realize the error in your ways

Hosch250

21:48

What does HIDMAE stand for?

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I have science knowledge

HTM

@Hosch250 "Hope I didn't miss anything else" i.e. hopefully there isn't some other word I didn't consider that could also be gotten

Hosch250

Oh, OK.

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus I expect much greater things out of you this time

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

I have help this time

Hosch250

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

and you know I don't know sports

I expect better too

msh210

@ThePuzzlingPlatypus nor I, fyi

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

You really did miss me just coming in and taking that tardigrade clue

El'endia Starman

@Mithical Wait, do you read mixed English and Hebrew text from left to right or right to left??

Mithical

21:57

@El'endiaStarman Yes.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

@El'endiaStarman I was thinking that too

msh210

@El'endiaStarman depends on the context

Mithical

In this case I can't read a thing because it's gibberish.

msh210

see W3C's excellent page on bidi writing

Hosch250

Whoa, I think that's like a record.

ThePuzzlingPlatypus

21:58

@Hosch250 what is

Hosch250

Usually it takes a month before a programmer is unable to read their old code.

This is more like seconds.
