Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Bod said:A three which took in excess of twenty minutes. Easily in the top five in terms of duration required to solve. I just went completely blank for no apparent reason given that I had plenty to work with. Very interesting. But you got there in the end | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I also found this trying. I ended up using two guesses I knew to be wrong - the fourth with a known-absent letter because I needed some sort of confirmation or denial of structure and was out of ideas, and the fifth because if that HAD been the word, there would have been much lamenting from the rest of you. Ended up chasing through letter by letter after that. xxYYx xYxxx xGYxY xGGYx xGGGG GGGGG | ||

However, I’d accept the validity, whilst simultaneously cursing, unlike the inclusion of ‘email’ which I give no s**ts if it is valid or not, as I found that an affront. 😂 | ||

Member 174, 1237 posts | A challenging but rewarding three. Gambled on the second and then took a while to get to the result on the third. As Wigan said, that was an enjoyable one. XYXXY XYXGX | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | A frustrating and very troublesome four XXXXY YYXXX XXXXY The first three factfinders found a reasonable number of facts but whereas previous days they had sorted themselves rather quickly into a sensible order, these did not. It was like stirring a pan of alphabeti-spaghetti until something that did not contain a forbidden letter or a good letter in a forbidden place emerged. Ten plus minutes of beard stroking and an immense amount of scribbling before something useable appeared. Happily and luckily it was correct. Horrible. I need a lie down now | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | xxxYY xYxYY Now I know all five letters. There is an obvious anagram which I know to be wrong. Ten minutes pass as I get more and more tempted to use an anagram dictionary, before suddenly GGGGG Bod said: If your fifth guess was what I believe it was (a word I’m only aware of through a weird conversation with someone with an interest in that area) then I admit my brow would have furrowed.

Which would have made many here rather sour...  . | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 28th July, start 15:10 Actually arrived at 14:00 only to find the place full of weightlifters all doing weightlifter things - that is to say picking things up and not putting anything down. They take up much room. It is not unknown for three weightlifters to be squatting using three different bars, three sets of stands and three sets of weights. All reasonable enough but odd to my eye especially when there is a power bar and a grade A industrial, adjustable power-rack being ignored. On a positive note one of the aforementioned weightlifters did a 150 kilo set of paused squats using a power bar on Steph and Louise (the aforementioned grade A, industrial, adjustable power racks). I can't recall the last time I saw that and it fair gladdened the heart. After an hour or so of waiting, I commenced Deadlift, squat boots on 70 x 3 70 x 3 90 x 3 110 x 3 130 x 3 150 x 3 170 x 3 185 x 3 195 x 3 An abbreviated session, done and dusted in around fifty minutes, which is really quick for me. A post retirement PB triple and a lot easier on the hands. The 185 was a shade slippy in the hands and the third had to be put down a bit sharpish. I chalked for the 195 and it was solid. I may just have learned something tonight. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17903 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | It was also a splendid way to celebrate the fact that I have today been retired for one whole year. | ||
