I like that one the best. However, punt is a common term in American football. Forgive me if you already know, but a team gets four chances to advance 10 yards or more. This keeps repeating until there is a score, a turnover of some kind, or the clock runs out on either half of the game. If it's fourth down and you're not in field goal range your choices are: 1. Go for the fourth down and risk giving your opponent good field position if you fail. 2. Punt (kick) the ball down the field, giving your opponent possession of the ball but with bad field position. It is also used in common speech to mean avoid or postpone making a difficult decision, possible losing an opportunity of some kind.
Indeed. I'll comment more after the game if anyone asks. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Accusation imminent. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Accuses Miss Scarlet with Knife in Ballroom on Saturday Winner! February 5th, 2018 at 12:46:15 PM Very Well done, one and all. Hard luck miplet, maybe next time :o) FYI I had Peacock, Lead pipe, Kitchen, Tuesday By my records, Wizard's last suggestion revealed killer, weapon and day to all of us !!! leaving 5 or less potential crime scenes for each of us!!! and two of us got the chance to visit library. The end was inevitable this round. This game went more like I was expecting it to. Inevitable cock-ups identified in my records in mid game audit. |

You might want to rework that. By my record, you should have been down to a 1 in 3 shot at worst, on the one assumption that ODG just eliminated Library and Study:- Ballroom, Conservatory, Billiard Room |

I'm traveling. Trying to shorthand the process handwritten failed. I had identified conservatory by inference. Left ball and bill. Rest was assigning cards by likelihood. Needed the full grid to make Mikes suggestion self-evident. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |
