Below are the names of six plays. Five are by William Shakespeare and one by George Bernard Shaw. What are their names? (Measurements are in Imperial.)

 

1. 6"

 

2. 9"

 

3. 12"

 

4. Wet

 

5. Dry.

 

6. OO, OOO

 

6" as you like it

9" taming of the shrew

wet: mid summernights dream

dry: 12`th night

 

so far anyway

ummm... how did you work that out?

YT, 3 out of 4, not bad.

If you're using the "key" I think you're using, would 12" be The Merry Wives of Windsor? If so, then you could add 3" for Much Ado About Nothing.

lol, I guess 3" being a little how shall we say *ehem* Less Than, has to be the play Much Ado about nothing )

ok I guess WE kinda doubled up there Phi (we must be twisted in the same way I recon) )

You saw it first and must be on the right track, so you've got an extra 180 on your twist, my friend!

Is OO, OOO Shaw's Fanny's First Play? That's sick.

 

Dry could be Love's Labours Lost.

actualy that SHOULD be the right answer to my recconing too.

what`s say when we DO get 6 outa 6 we close this thread and let em keep guessing

 

kinda keep it Our secret (else risk being be-modded and banned for such perversity).

Maybe JohnB would be so kind as to let us know which 3 out of 4 you got right in post #2 (wink wink, nudge nudge, say-no-more).

DRy I recon.

 

looking at a playlist, possibly: A comedy of errors, or (sick) Two Gentlemen of Verona

So we've got:

1. 6" = As You Like It

 

2. 9" = Taming of the Shrew

 

3. 12" = The Merry Wives of Windsor

 

4. Wet = A Midsummer Night's Dream

 

5. Dry. = Twelfth Night or Love's Labours Lost (think it matters that this actually reads "Dry Period"?)

 

6. OO, OOO = Fanny's First Play

 

JohnB, how we doing?

agreed partly on the DRY idea. I also read it as such, and as it fell directly after Wet, on a 28 dayer 12 to 16`th night would be as you stated

 

sorry to others that may see this as Cryptic, but Phi knows what I`m on about

 

 

How about it JohnB?

Could it be just our own hope that 6" = As You Like It? Would a woman say 9" or 12"?

oh go on, give the entire game away why don`t ya

and you can speak for yourself, I`m happy with my 3" thank you, hell, how Wide do ya need it to be!

 

besides, it`s not the size of your pencil that counts, it`s How you Sign your name:cool:

Firstly an apology.

 

YT, you only got two right. (It was 0120 hrs here when I posted, shouldn't post when tired. ) It's a bugger being 10-12 hours out of sync with you blokes.

 

You were correct on numbers 4 and 5. Your other answers were on the right track but just need to be moved "along" a bit.

 

Phi, wrong on 6.

1. 6" = Much Ado About Nothing

 

2. 9" = As You Like It

 

3. 12" = Taming of the Shrew

 

4. Wet = A Midsummer Night's Dream

 

5. Dry. = Twelfth Night

 

6. OO, OOO = Man and Superman

 

How's this?

Bingo! Pay the man.

 

I just hope you two don't think about your families with those minds.

it`s thinking with minds like that, that Got us Families in the first place

*boggle*

LOL!

 

YT deserves all the credit. He's a stand up guy and not too swollen with himself to share the spotlight, though it must have been hard on him to accept my help. YT, I salute you!

it must have been hard on him to accept my help.

 

 

Huh huuhuuuhhhhuuh, He said HARD! huhhh huhhu and then he said ON!

huhhhu huh huh huuhu..

that was like Sooooo Cool dude:-p

how much do you need to know about the plays for all this to make sense?

 

i think i know what you gutter minds are onto with 1, 2, and 4, but im lost on the rest.

i think i know what you gutter minds are onto with 1' date=' 2, and 4, but im lost on the rest.[/quote']Nothing, it's all in the titles. 12" tames the shrew, by the Twelfth Night in a row you'll be dry, OO = Man and OOO = Superman. It's all from the same gutter.

 

I still think Love's Labours Lost should be in there somewhere....
