SE Mind Bender Contest #2

[Edgar]

Mind Bender Contest #2 is now open.

The objective is to unscramble the words listed below. Please read and follow these rules:

1. Send an email message with your guess to iap.puzzles@gmail.com
2. Put "Mind Bender #2" or something to that effect in the subject so I will know which contest you are entering.
3. List your unscrambled words in the same order as the scrambled list.
4. You may only submit one email for this contest and only one guess in the message.
5. You must follow all standard SE Contest guidelines and your IAP profile must include your first & last name.

This contest will remain open for at least 48 hours starting from the time of this post.

All correct entries will earn 1 point toward the overall contest total points. One of those correct entries will be drawn for an individual puzzle prize. Note: you must correctly unscramble all 15 words to earn a point in this contest.

Banter is encouraged, but please do not post any real hints.

Have fun - let me know if you have any questions.

They need unscrambling? They look like fine to me.

 

[Mr Vic]

Can we add cheese, fold in half and call it an omelet?

 

[CREID]

I have 3 of them figured out so far

 

[Karl_99]

Got 1...not seeing a theme yet...

...other than Edgar may have some issues!

 

[CREID]

Who is Dr Cain Sheem?

 

[Edgar]

Theme? There was supposed to be a theme?????

 

[Karl_99]

...so I thought...

I got 4 now and am hooked ...

 

[Edgar]

...so I thought...

There actually is one

Figuring out the theme may help with a couple of the harder ones.

 

[stonepecker]

the only one I see is "Eat Pecans"

The harder ones, like you mean the 12 I haven't gotten?

 

[Skeleton2014]

Got 9 but my mind is bent beyond recovery. Probably won't get the rest without some serious help and rest. Will you give partial credit or is this an all or nothing type of MB?

[CREID]

I'm up to six.

 

[SteveJ]

I've got words for all of them, but some of them are just four letter words.

 

[ajollydds]

I'm usually pretty good at these, Edgar put me into checkmate. Well played, I'm going to go uncross my eyes and get some Advil.

For now, it is one point for all 15, but I may change it to 1 point for 10 and 2 points for all 15. I'll decide on that tomorrow.

This contest will stay open at least until sometime Monday.

Monday of this year?? May need more time.

 

[Karl_99]

How about 1 pt for 5, 2 pts for 10 and 3pts and a voucher for counselling for all 15?

 

[SteveJ]

Well, I've got 14 out of 15, but am really stumped on one...

I thought I saw a theme through 9 of the first 10, but then the theme seemed to change, so I'm not certain anymore.

 

[Karl_99]

I got 10 of them, but now my eyes are bugging out!
Time for a break!

 

[Edgar]

Rule Change

OK - by popular request, I will revise the scoring for Puzzle #2

You will earn 1 point toward the total puzzle score if you get at least 10 correct or 2 points if you get all 15 correct.

Everyone earning at least 1 point will go into the drawing for an individual puzzle prize.

This contest will close sometime after noon CDT on Monday.

You're killing me, Smalls.......:biggrin:

I've got(I think) 13 of them. I've also got a large red welt on my forehead from banging my head against the wall trying to figure out the other two.

I did include a couple that can't be solved with an annagrammer app, but you'll kick yourself when you figure them out or see the answer.

 

[CREID]

Ok, my entries are in. Due we get reimbursed for all the scratch paper we used?

 

[firewhatfire]

only one 1 got disappeared after I spelled it.

 

[Edgar]

This contest will close at (or shortly after) noon CDT tomorrow (Tuesday).
