Every Wednesday I will post a mind puzzle. That gives you one week to try and figure it out. [If you think you have the answer, message it to][FireGypsy]. Good luck everyone! And please don't cheat!
The Winners will receive a banner for their house!


Have fun with this one!


This puzzle is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need to sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the answers?


1) overweight dam builder & symptom of a sick flying mammal
2) bottom of the ocean & an insect-bitten dog has this
3) a cooking utensil & a nosy admirer
4) the person in charge of clocks and watches & the result of exposing silent actors to the sun

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: Shouldn't it be "makers"?

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: 1 Earth wanderer is "Norman", a Swedish "viking"-singer. 2 has to be Animal Planet becausee they put rings on birds and stuff. 3 must be the ring in the previous question. 4 is the band Weeping Willows. 5 is some grammatical crap. 6 is NOT JarJar. 7 is good. 8 is Julius Ceasar (Except killing Gauls, he actually ordered 30% of the slaves to be set free. Mostly to create jobs.) 9 is me doing guard-work on Elfpack. 10 is "bråd" or the Russian spelling "брод". 11 is something LIlo would not like unless he's very handsome. 12 is the Swedish word "Skål!" (it means "Cheers!" and "bawl")... So what was the question, by the way?

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: *smacks head* hahahaha omg very funny! But no lol.

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: I cant help loving you [Hedda]!!

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: [Do not answer in this comment box or you will be disqualified. It must be sent to me in a message]

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: I was refering to this: Name the makes of the automobiles.

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: "brands"? "makers"?

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: no, you know make and model, like let say a chevrolet corvette. Chevrolet is the Make and corvette is the model =)

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: get it?

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: Never heard that. I guess my knowledge of English is too limited for this puzzle

2006-07-19 [FireGypsy]: lol nah you just dont know much about cars =D

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: Shouldn't there be a deadline for this? And how to you plan to post the next puzzle? It would be nice if people could read the previous puzzles and answers somehow.

2006-07-19 [Hedda]: No, in Swedish it's called "märke"(brand) and "modell" (model). That makes sence, but "make" doesn't. It's like calling different kausus for "cases"... That's one of the 4711 cases in which English uses a tiny little word that can mean anything for yet another thing. Yesterday I learnt "(bed) tick" and that's just stupid too.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: relax realx, its a work in progress, there hasnt been a previous puzzle and they will be able to see them and the winners. The deadline is next wednesday. They have one week.

2006-07-20 [Tear]: Sasha, if you need a crew for questions and such, I could try to round up a posse for you.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: hmmm i dont know if i need one. I might need one for checking answers in their messages, but given a whole week to find puzzles is plenty. If you would like to help find puzzles it would be nice, but then again, we have a week, and thats plenty of time to forget ones that we pick lol'

2006-07-20 [Tear]: Hedda could always hook it up with a forum, and we can make this an EP Official wiki.

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: And answers to previous puzzles! Don't forget the answers! Otherwise I'll kill you and dissect it from your brain... ;) But the answers have to be on a different wiki-page so that the late readers don't see them right away, I guess.

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: Very nice logo, but Elfpack standard demands that it's no wider than 500 pixels. Otherwise people with small screen will have a problem.

2006-07-20 [Tear]: Or, they could be posted in a forum...dotdotdot.periodperiodperiod elipsis. If it is in a seoerate wiki, it runs the risk of being seen, unless it is viewable only by Sasha.

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: Eh, what are you talking about, [Tear]? The answers to previous puzzles aren't secrets, are they?

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: I kind of need it to be official so i can put trophys in houses. I already put in my request. And i will have pages for previous puzzles and answers lol! How am i supposed to count the pixels!!!!

2006-07-20 [Tear]: Just stick img500 in the tag, and it will auto resize the image on it's own to fit the specs. I thought you meant the answers in general, because she hasn't had a previous puzzle yet.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: its already at 500...

2006-07-20 [Tear]: That is because Hedda just edited it, I think.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: oh lol

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: CMON guys spread the word!

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: You can put a deadline on the calendar on Mainstuff, you know? I'll do that now.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: Oh yeah! Put down every wednesday!

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: Coolness to the MAX!

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: There should be no calendar-notes about things that aren't started yet. So putting up links to future weekly puzzles is of course not approved until they exist.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: This is started though hehe! See puzzle *points*

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: I think you could be able to put trophys in people's houses without making this an official contest. I kind of want a good example that ordanary members also can create contests and that they don't need to be crew to do stuff ;)

2006-07-20 [Hedda]: And even if [FireGypsy] is crew, this competition is mostly only hers, even if we help out. So I think it fits as "her contest" instead of "official contest". I'm open for opinions though.

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: lol then that wouldnt work because i am crew and i would be setting no example for non-crew. Im just waiting for Sunny to come on and see if she likes the idea because i already put in the request =)

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: woops posted too late lol

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: I just would like too see a lot of people active in this wiki, because its such a fun idea and i hope it will grow

2006-07-20 [FireGypsy]: I Friggen LOVE You [Hedda]!

2006-07-20 [♥*Haley*♥]: brands

2006-07-20 [Tear]: It is the make of the car. The brand of the car.

2006-07-20 [ghdskjagwesdk]: brand and make are the same thing

2006-07-20 [Eyes of the Reaper]: Yay! ^-^ Finished...hopefully with the right answers... O.o'

2006-07-21 [Tear]: I was clarifying that for people who did not know what the "make" of a car was.

2006-07-21 [FireGypsy]: i had make up, but then [Hedda] complained that brand sounded better. And yes, only the make/brand. No models

2006-07-21 [♥*Haley*♥]: woot woot

2006-07-21 [FireGypsy]: dont tell anyone though =) thats cheating!

2006-07-21 [Grumpy2006]: hey wats up do we emial u if we know the answers

2006-07-21 [devilock]: are the answer just Brands? .... or even the model? (e.g. Toyota Rav4)

2006-07-21 [Tear]:

JUST THE BRANDS

2006-07-21 [Blood Moon Wolf]: I only need two more!!! 5 and 10!!

2006-07-21 [Eyes of the Reaper]: 10 was a butt for me to figure out...and I think I got it wrong anyway. XD

2006-07-21 [Blood Moon Wolf]: lol...Too early in the morning for me to think....x.x

2006-07-21 [Eyes of the Reaper]: lol

2006-07-21 [Hedda]: [Hedda] complained that I only knew the word "brand". Don't listen to me about what terms to use when talking cars!

2006-07-21 [wheelsy]: Lmao, nice [Hedda]
