I'm lost. Give up. Must be stupid, I guess...
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up over it. That you even tried is a sign of your above-average intellect.
ReplyDeleteIs this numerological? Or etymological? Or associative? I've wasted hours on this, and I feel even more stupid than before.
ReplyDeleteNo, really -- what kind of puzzle is this? If you'd given me the first four terms of this puzzle, I still can't see how you get the fifth (Meese) to work out. What sort of transformation leads from the one to the other?
ReplyDeleteHours, man. I've spent hours on it.
Honestly, I had no idea it strike such an obsessive chord. Except for the -eese and -ary ending, there's no "real" association. It was tongue-in-cheek, like many others in the series. I feel bad, now, knowing you've wasted your time. If you did find anything useful, you're even smarter than I thought. (By the way, it's tough to apologize to someone anonymous.)
