Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by KenYonRuKu on Feb 16th, 2004, 10:30am A little more help... SCY = DNO, FLE, GFR, TBL, YTE, DFR GLY = OSE RME = LDE, TGN, TME, MRR, FOY, OPY, AKL TDN = TDS, LKL PBN = GYE, TDS, TEH, DDY Would anyone like to hazard a guess? |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Speaker on Feb 16th, 2004, 6:40pm Here is a guess, and it is hazardous. They are abbreviations of the names of stations on the underground (chikatetsu) in London. The first letter group represents the name of the line, and the following groups are the station names. This is really a stab in the dark, so maybe they are not subway trains, maybe regular trains. |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by KenYonRuKu on Feb 16th, 2004, 8:52pm Your guess is imaginative and insightful, but unfortunately it is not the right answer. Keep trying though! ;) |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 11th, 2004, 7:16pm Thought it might have been postcodes before you started adding letters... Which started to make it look like airports/aerodromes. Highly unlikely. Can't remember enough rhyming slang for it to be helpful. Doesn't seem to be anything to do with royal family. Last ditch attempt... rivers and towns? |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Cathos on Mar 11th, 2004, 9:11pm Not sure, but I think it might have something to do with various countries and cities within the countries. For example, SCY could be Sicily, and RME could be Rome. FLE could possibly be Florence. This assumes that the abbreviation is the first letter, some middle letter, and the last letter of the citie's name. Of cource, all of these are in Italy, not the UK, but it's the best guess I have. I'm not familiar enough with European cities to even guess what the others might be. This doesn't fit the equal sign very well either as far as I can tell... so there you have it. |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Icarus on Mar 12th, 2004, 3:14pm I have a new challenge to offer: What has happened to KenYonRuKu? He appeared for a short while, left many confounding puzzles, and has not been heard from since. |
||
|
Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 15th, 2004, 7:39pm Its possible that school started, thus KenYonRuKu found it harder to come and play. Or having finally made it to junior member status (oh glorious day :)) has taken a break. Then again, if a puzzle of yours is answered too quickly, or not answered at all, it is a little dispiriting. |
||
|
Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by Icarus on Mar 16th, 2004, 3:42pm True, but KenYonRuKu was very active for a short time, and then suddenly stopped completely. I hope it is something like a loss of internet connection, and not serious. |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by DeMark on Mar 17th, 2004, 10:17am Me too. He wrote a bunch of riddles that are driving me crazy, and then he dissapears. At least he could give us some hints... Hendrix - Fleetwood Mac... ;D |

Title: Re: Letter Sequence Puzzle Post by KenYonRuKu on Mar 29th, 2004, 2:57am Hello everyone, Many apologies for my disappearance... I have started a new job and I don't seem to have much free time at the moment. To set your minds at rest, I have not fallen foul of the law or come into hardship, I have merely been too tired to wax lyrical with you guys. Sumimasen... See you again soon, KenYonRuKu |
