I can take you from high to low.
You will, of course, need 3 atoms to go.

Water has 3 atoms in it...right? WATER!

Yes, water has 3 atoms but that's not the answer.

You won't need a motor to get going. Gravity will work just fine.

Dang high school science classes. Still not helping me at all.

Um...a waterfall???

[bittsen]

Nope to both.


Next clue.

You won't need North or South but Left or Right instead.

[el_fudgeeo]

Something to do with snow - like downhill skiing?

[popokiiti]

Hot Air Balloon?

[bittsen]

Wow, you are really really close.

[popokiiti]

I got that out of thin air....or are you pulling my leg? If not....glider?

Not pulling your leg but if it doesn't break loose, your leg might get more then pulled.

[popokiiti]

Paraskiing?

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

Bob sledding?

[bittsen]

It's a thing, not an activity...

I really wanted to give it to him above...

[popokiiti]

Parachute?

[bittsen]

OOPS!!
This was the one that was REALLY close.

Has nothing to do with parachuting. I never even saw that post till now.
Sorry

[popokiiti]

Snowboard?

[bittsen]

popokiiti, on Oct 28 2010, 08:11 PM, said:

Snowboard?

Silly...

There are no poles involved with a snowboard...

But I will give it to you because you know the only other alternative.

Your turn.

[popokiiti]

The more you have of it, the less you see.

[bittsen]

Cataracts?

[popokiiti]

nope...

[bittsen]

Rain?

[Bergie Bunch]

intelligence

[popokiiti]

sorry - no to both of the above.

[bittsen]

The rules stipulate that a new clue be given

What do snow skiis have to do with 3 atoms?

Ever try to go on skis without the three molecules (Two hydrogen and one oxygen)

A Steve Martin movie; why you can't speed up/slow down instantly.

[el_fudgeeo]

Hmmm - "The Jerk" is the Steve Martin movie that comes to mind. Inertia is why you cannot change speed instantaneously. Not sure how they connect tho

Jerk it is: the third derivative of position. Jerk would have to be infinite in order for acceleration to change instantly.

Over to you!

My ex-girlfriend called me an infinite jerk. I can now take comfort in the fact that is not possible.

[el_fudgeeo]

Someone else can post one - I dont patrol the forums often enough to watch for guesses and I dont want to leave people hanging.

[Team Dennis]

I'll take that ball and run with it! This one ought to be easy enough.


I am at the beginning of eternity,
and at the end of time and space.
Without me there could be no love or hate.
What am I???

[el_fudgeeo]

Off hand I would guess the letter "E".

Now that she knows, I'm sure she'd be happy to have you back.

Science wins!

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

Here is a quick one....

I am the first and thus far only billionaire author.

My books have been translated into 67 languages, placing me among the most translated authors in history.

[Doubledareya]

You must be Oprah Winfrey.

Sorry but, No.

I actually created the word "Muggle" from "mug", an English term for someone who is easily fooled. I added the "-gle" to make it sound less demeaning and more "cuddly".

Correct - the author of the Harry Potter novel series.

Your turn to post.

[mertat]

Okay, here's an easy one:

My original purpose was to honor those who have gone on before us.

Now I’m all about the sweet stuff.

[Doubledareya]

I know that honey was once used for embalming. Are you honey?

[bittsen]

You are halloween

[mertat]

Halloween is the answer.

(But, boy, wish I had been smart enough to know that about honey - that would have been a cool one )

D'oh...I overthought that simple, yet timely question. I have a tendency to overthink things. Plus, I am new here and have never played (or even heard of) this game before. It is fun. Be that as it may, another interesting thing about honey is that it is the only food in existence that will last forever and still be as good as the day the bees made it! Actually, you could (if they would let you) eat the honey that was found in King Tut's tomb and you couldn't tell the difference from honey you bought from the store last week. And so on.

[bittsen]

I knew that about honey. It never spoils.


OK, so here's the next one.



This item always has two
Sometimes it's one for me and one for you.

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun"?

A Big Mac?

[bittsen]

Wow, good guess but....

Nope

Not food at all

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

Twins?

[bittsen]

Hmmm, I suppose that would work too but nope.

Let's see... Another clue??

Like an elephant, you'll never forget.

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

Oh... Ok - Parents?
