A7/44 - a discussant who offers an example or a reason or a proof

8:14 am

Atalante

Atalante

9:46 am

Judi

Well, this is the most obnoxious puzzle I've seen yet. Anyone have any clues on either or both of the 8's?

9:49 am

Gail

Both are X8/90

A yellow crystalline organic compound, CH2(C6H4)2O, that is soluble in ether and is used as a fungicide and in organic synthesis.

a ketone C13H8O2 that is the parent of several natural yellow pigments

9:53 am

EvaNadine

i think the puzzle should accept "Yoda"
hehe

9:55 am

Judi

Thanks, Gail. Guess I should have taken that Chemistry class! Now where the heck did I put my periodic table...?

10:02 am

Gail

I tried Yoda too. It wouldn't take my name yesterday, either.

10:03 am

Judi

I think it should accept "yada" too. As in "yada yada yada" from that Seinfeld episode.

10:04 am

Gail

Any hints for the C6?

10:06 am

EvaNadine

heh, i also tried "yada"

gail, if you have the C5, just add a letter to the end.

10:07 am

Gail

Well, that was easy. Thanks.

10:17 am

Gail

This really is an evil grid today.

10:23 am

baggo

there are 2 a/6's. so that should be all the biggies.
i do agree this is an evil puzzle!!

10:25 am

Gail

Is there a hint for the D6?

10:30 am

EvaNadine

gail -- take an A4/7 and make it past tense (think air or tape)

10:34 am

baggo

An often enclosed passage or channel for conveying a substance, especially a liquid or gas (d/6)

10:34 am

Gail

Oh, you mean the d4/7. That clue helped, thanks My eyes are refusing to work on this one, I think.

10:37 am

baggo

it's funny that yada doesn't take but the "n" version does? go figure

11:24 am

EvaNadine

oops, yeah, i meant the D
hehe

12:08 pm

6:00 pm

Krys10

At 10:34 Gail corrected it to be a D4/7 not an A4/7

6:16 pm

Krys10
