The whiteshoes brain teaser

[Bittentobuggery]

A bottle of single malt to anyone who gives the correct answer to

3 G N W for R R

[Richard B]

3 Grand National Wins for Red Rum.

[Richard B]

...and nearly fell down the stairs running down to the computer! All credit to the ball & chain for that. The future Mom-in-Law claims that her computer was instrumental and necessary.

Hope it's right!

[Bittentobuggery]

Richard, you are correct.

I had hoped that it would prove an intellectual triumph, a titanic tussle of thought, tortuously tempted and teased from a templar treasure trove,

BUT your search engine wins.

Send me the address of this electronic colossus and I will see that it is duly rewarded.

That's the first time I've heard Louise referred to as a "search engine"!!

BTW she says that she likes a single malt and Macallan is her favorite

[Bittentobuggery]

Macallan, it is then. One of my favourites too.

Hi Louse, can you please answer this for me,

Kind regards,

Topdogvizla

[Louise]

Welcome to the forum topdogvizla. This is an old thread you've dragged up!

How about 0001 = One Minute Past Midnight ?

[topdogvizla]

Gee thank's Louise, that was very quick, when I noticed the date of your last go on this site I thought, oh my god, how long will it be before someone replies, and low and behold up pops the lady herself with the answer.

You deserve a big kiss, thank you, and may you enjoy many happy hours on the water.

Topdogvizla.

[Louise]

Thanks! We aim to please!

[John Kennett]

Louise, did you actually work any out or did you Google them all?

Actually this type of quiz used to go round the staff room every Christmas time when I was still a teacher so I've had a bit of practice!
