JohnB Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 YT, 3 out of 4, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 lol, I guess 3" being a little how shall we say *ehem* Less Than, has to be the play Much Ado about nothing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 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?

YT2095 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 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?

Phi for All Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Could it be just our own hope that 6" = As You Like It? Would a woman say 9" or 12"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callipygous Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 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' 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
