Empathy

#1 · Thomas Werner

Since Ed Collins proposed a new kind of game in the thread one-pointersr and I think that this could be fun, I propose:

\* Name five expressions that fit the expression you have in mind.

\* When the riddle is too hard, extra expressions are allowed to be added one by one.

... let's me think of

1. life,

2. rope,

3. cable,

4. jockey,

5. vacancies

..you'll have to add another.

#4 · mongoose

11 Apr 2008

for 5. did you mean vacancies or vacations?

#6 · Thomas Werner

11 Apr 2008

As an apology for the stupid "vacancies<->vacation"-mistake

Game #2:

1. a pair of dice

2. a cigarette

more clues to come, if needed...

#15 · Ed Collins

12 Apr 2008

No. (Not even close.)

1. a pair of dice

2. a cigarette

3. A surprised persons eyes

#17 · Ed Collins

Yes.

If I was a contestant on the actual game show, one of my first answers would have been "a ball" (because I want to help the other player to win the big money) but here, I didn't want to include that because the answer would have then been too obvious.

Your turn...

Things you see at the beach.

#21 · Bill Collins

14 Apr 2008

good answers but no.

1. sand

2. blue

3. beach

#25 · Ed Collins

14 Apr 2008

No, it's not water. "Sand water" doesn't make sense to me.

I'll try a new one:

1. House

2. Family

3. Belong

#42 · Ed Collins

15 Apr 2008

Or maybe things that provide security. Something like that. (What's throwing me is the word "belong" which doesn't quite fit with my guesses.)
