I am sorry to hear you're

I am sorry to hear you're contending with a plague of diseased, Mike. I wish them all well of course :) Do you consult in a hazmat suit? Might I recommend you do?

You have correctly identified the letter I was referring to, David. Not once. Twice.

It means you have one correct in each. Well done :)

I hope you will forgive me if I am little sporadic over the next few days? My mother-in-law *censor blink* has tasered the last fully-functioning part of my brain. Yes. There was some :) My initial reaction is to run away or bury my head quickly before anyone knew I had one, but I can't :/

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

These have three correct. They're all consonents, and the ones correct in the first, are duplicated in the second

Quote:
SHINYNLAVES
SHINYNAVELS


These have two correct. The same two correct. They comprise two-thirds of the letters above above (which is another way of saying at the top of my post - which I suspect you will agree was a quicker way of saying that)

:)

SHEVANLYSIN SHISYNAVELN I'

SHISYNAVELN

I'm interested in how these compare to my previous bunch. At least I think I am. I'm not quite awake enough to think about it as strategically as I'd like.

60031800000 is a summary.

SHEVANLYSIN has four correct, of which three are together. How it compares to what I said here when I said this:

Quote:
These have three correct. They're all consonants, and the ones correct in the first, are duplicated in the second


...is that there is now four correct, of which only one is new.

SHISYNAVELN on the other hand is better covered by this:

Quote:
These have two correct. The same two correct.


Did that help?

:)

Yes, it did, especially the summary. I wrote down the 4 I had, S--VAN, then thought YL might fit the -- nicely. After that, I looked at the letters I had left and saw that they could spell SHINE. I put it all together and asked dictionary.com if SYLVANSHINE was a word and it answered "noun, a type of optical phenomenon in which trees reflect rays of light, esp. via water on the leaves."

Now I'll try to sort out the mess at Seti.

So it's not Shania Twain or Sinead O'Connor then ? :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Well done, David :)

I've seen the phenomena so many times but I never knew it had a name.

Now I do *read Mike*

What enormous help that was wasn't it, David?

DA MEAN VIRIONS : nasty virus

DA MEAN VIRIONS : nasty virus that one

SAVIOR DAME INN : helpful accommodation

NAMES IN AVRO ID : descriptive airplane serial numbers

SIR AVON MAIDEN : the knight's dalliance

EDAM NOVAS IN RI : the biblical ( in draft ) exploding cheese comment that was shortened to 'how blessed are the cheesemakers ...'*

Cheers, Mike.

* which, you will recall, was actually a metaphor for all producers of dairy products.
