Title: Brain Teasers
Post by: alan colson on April 17, 2008, 04:18:14 pm

What is the only word in the Engish Dictionary with 2 consecutive u's?

Find the 2 missing words from the following, both have the same 8 letters but they are different words.
Although the damage was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , the bill was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

So as not to spoil it for others PM me with your answers and I will let you know if you are correct.

Good Luck
Alan

Here's another, you have £9-78 in your pocket, you have the same number of each of the coins, what coins have you got?

Following on in the same vein, if Alan doesn't mind....

What word(s) in the English language have a double i?

What is the only word in the English language with six consonants in a row?

Hi everyone
                Be my guests, I enjoy trying to sort these out myself, so keep them coming.
By the way, I have had one correct guess to the cash in the pocket question and one incorrect guess to the 2 consecutive u's question.
KEEP TRYING
Alan

I have now had a correct answer for the word with 2 consecutive u's. Nobody has even tried to answer the two 8 letter words yet.
I have found the answer to meechingmans 6 consonant word, but have not got on well with the ii words.

Simply making model boats is enough of a brain teaser for me, nothing left over for this!  :D

Until I get the Alfold show over I can't get in the workshop with all the gear donated for the bring and buy stand.
This gives me time for these brain teasers.

You and me both Richard ::).... Boats are built. no mucking around with scale building here so not that much more to play with, apart from the house (new kitchen being planned), garden (needs a new fence) and a conservatory (planned). Besides it's good to exercise the grey matter occasionally ;)
