*Cryptic Sleuth* (kind of.. they're probably more riddle-esqe)

So here's a quick competition that will end on Monday Night at clockover.

I used to do this on and off for the Pub Quiz coz it's not something you can Wiki :)

Just identify your fellow Sleuth from the clues below. They vary in difficulty.

Of course you'll probably need some basic knowledge of who is about, and I've had to trawl the agencies memberships, and read the City News / Villain Hunts / Treasure Hunt / High Score Boards to find some myself. *hint*

Oh yes there's a one month sub on offer, or if you don't want it, you can just have the accolade of being cleverer than everyone else.

In the event 2 people have all the answers it'll be the first person who gets them into me. Them's the breaks... the tie-breaks that is. :s

Last thing... DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE.

PM me Secret_Squirrel using the internal Sleuth Mail System with your answers.

I'll post the answers on Monday Night, and announce who won, and how you all did.


................ CRYPTIC SLEUTH .................

Example. Which feline lover left the light on? Breitkat (get it? Bright-Cat.)

1. She comes from a extremely long line of very special girls.

2. Agatha's Belgian needs an assistant...

3. I can't find Marty anywhere. Or Mary... hmmm or Martha!

4. Donna get down off of there!

5. She's a slow bird.

6. I foresee a nasty accident with a deep fat frier in your future.

7. Tennis anyone? No? Then how about Cards? You're guaranteed to lose.

8. Beer Mac? No thank you, I make my own.

9. Every four months you just have to let it all hang out.

10. A mere maid! Come, come, now... Oh I misheard, your dancing distracted me.

11. When I greet the morning a monster is the last thing I expect to see!

12. She's very keen on gumshoes.

13. These glasses aren't quite rose-tinted, but they're good enough to make my golf score seem average.

DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE... PM me .

Good luck!

I should add: *Please be sure of your answers. You submitted answers are your final answers.*

Mar-12-2009 21:45

SS, did you break your rule and post your answers up there ^ and then ahve to mod yourself? ;-)

Mar-12-2009 22:19

Maybe he wasn't sure he wanted to submit them yet. After all they are your final answers. ;)

Mar-12-2009 23:27

Ummm....about clue 6?

6. I foresee a nasty accident with a deep fat frier in your future.

I know it's a typo but which way should it be read. Fryer as in yummm dinner or Friar as in Robin Hood and Tuck?

Mar-13-2009 00:03

oh yeah oops didn't even notice, for what it's worth... fryer.

Mar-13-2009 00:13

OK I think I am down to the last 3. #1, #3 and #4. Any hints? LOL

Mar-13-2009 07:15

Is it bad that I only know one of them off the top of my head lol

Mar-13-2009 08:26

Thanks for putting this together SS, these are great fun, there are a few that seam really obscure but I'll probably smack myself in the forehead when I see them! ;-)

Of course, there will probably be people lined up to smack me anyhow! ;-)

Mar-13-2009 09:55

Nic is befuddled by only 3 of them? I'm confused on around 11 of them. lol

Mar-13-2009 11:21

I second that, happy. Yikes.
I'm thinking that most of them look really obscure...
