The "Before and After" game.

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

This is like the thing they do sometimes on Jeopardy, where the clue mixes two answers that are linked by one common word or phrase.

For instance, the clue might be: Famous British horse race (Grand National) which features cultures and scenes from around the world (National Geographic). The answer would be: Grand National Geographic.

That's how you do it. Whoever guesses correctly gets to put up the next clue.



Okay, here goes, first clue:

Corporate aerospace giant which insists that the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.

Correct. Did you want to make one up, now, or should I just put up another one? Or let someone else put one up?

[dizzle]

Oh boy that was hard!

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Okay, another easy one. There are actually two possible answers to this one, and it's pretty simple by process of elimination.



Clue: A player on a current first-place baseball team (American, by the way, which can include the Canadian teams) says it's his favorite color.

Clueless :shrug:

Use process of elimination. Only six teams are in first place (only six divisions), and which ones are also names of color hues?

I'll give you a hint. Here are the first-place teams:

AL East: New York Yankees
AL Central: Kansas City Royals
AL West: Seattle Mariners
NL East: Atlanta Braves
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
NL West: San Francisco Giants

I edited my post above, giving you a hint by listing the first-place teams (since it asks for a player, not the whole team, just singularize the mascot names and go from there).

Okay, okay.

A player from the Kansas City Royals, for instance, is a Kansas City Royal. There is a color hue called Royal Blue. So one answer would be Kansas City Royal blue.

A player from the St. Louis Cardinals is a St. Louis Cardinal. There is a color hue called Cardinal Red. So one answer would be St. Louis Cardinal Red.

I'll put up a new one tomorrow. Hmmm, I thought that last one would've been a gimme!

Cleveland Browns Brown

Except for three problems:

1. They aren't baseball.
2. They aren't in first place.
3. There's no such color (that I know of) called Browns Brown (since the last word of the first phrase has to combine with the second phrase).

Well, I didn't think of the Lion King right off the bat, but I knew the Yul Brenner part, so I did a browser search for 1994 Matthew Broderick movies.

Here's one ...

1996 Christopher Walken movie in which Billy Zane tries to kill Sam Neil on a yacht.

[Sher]

No clue :dufus:

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Oops, I gave a bad clue. That should be Billy Zane, not Ray Liotta. Sorry. I'll edit it now.

Ayn Rand McNally

Publishing Computer Company

[Bob Jenkins]

Is it "Publishing Computer" and "Computer Company"

Question in form of answer?

[yxboom]

let me rephrase it:

A publishing company and computer manufacturer

hint: one of the words in the question will be in the answer

[Bob Jenkins]

Publisher: Hewlett Packard - from Google

the "publish" aspcet is throwing me

[yxboom]

:hrm:

Dr Pepper Korn

A soft drink that's HARDCORE! As evidenced by the refusal to place a period after the 'Dr,' indicating brash nonconformity (or not, since Mr Pibb follows this same strategy. The truth is out there.)

[Bob Jenkins]

pssst. ya gotta answer the question from the clues before ya ask anudda question?

ummm... Mr. jenkins already successfully answered it :poke:

BTW...mansion pavilion :brow:

clue #1
three word amswer

clue #2
think outside the ring (diamond)

[Bob Jenkins]

clue #3 a roving residence

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Okay, this is probably a stretch, but ... mobile home fries?

I was just thinking of the clues, and outside the ring (diamond) ... well, that could be wedding ring, and marriage yields family and kids, for which "home fries" is sometimes used as a euphemism.

Hehehe I remembered - mobile home plate but go on - please go on

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

OK, let me think ...

A social club for the gathering of war veterans who are Apache, Navajo, Cherokee, and so on.

[Bob Jenkins]

How about another clue Please!

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Okay. The order in which they appear in the answer is reversed from the order in which they appear in the clue. Think first of Apache, Cherokee, Navajo, etc., then think of social clubs for war vets.

[Bob Jenkins]

Oh yeah

Native American Legion

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Oui! Your turn.

[Bob Jenkins]

geological feature and commercial institute

Think "flowing water"

[yxboom]

Mountain Spring Water :huh:

[Bob Jenkins]

think of the institute as a national one and a much larger flowing water

[themuzicman]

Water Falls Creek?

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Pacific Ocean Pacific? (Yeah, I know, OP isn't an institute, it's a corporation, but it is definitely commercial).

[Bob Jenkins]

one last time for clues - closest answer wins

flowing water container and an corporation named after a country

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

I think we're going to have to award you the Golden Stump award for this one, Bob. I give up.

[Bob Jenkins]

I gotta make 'em easier of have better clues
