tennant Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Are you picking video games to exclude me? Is there a game called Lemon Ball. Why am I here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennant Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ah ha.... is it Fey-Ball for Fable? In retrospect, that seems easier than it first appeared. If I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennant Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Firstly, I'm astounded by your ingenuity in reaching The Longest Yard. Secondly, no. Thirdly, it's an author. Fourthly, really wow, I wish it was The Longest Yard. Fifthly, a clue; English is not this author's first language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBinky Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Haruki Murakami (you fiend) (ha - rook - quay - mire - something - army) That horsey track bit has me stumped though Ah, it's just "rack" - that's a type of horse gait, apparently.

Nickenstein79 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Damn it, Binky! I was busy trawling through Russian author's names on Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBinky Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was busy trawling through Russian author's names on Wikipedia. Ha, literally the first thing I thought was, "Vladimir Nabokov" and then thought, "obviously not" The "army" bit was the giveaway as soon as you replace the 'y' with an 'i' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickenstein79 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 The "army" bit was the giveaway as soon as you replace the 'y' with an 'i' I was thinking the syllable for that would be 'march' or 'troop' (which is why I trawled millions of French authors too.) :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickenstein79 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 (ha - rook - quay - mire - something - army) I think that bit is 'moor' rather than 'mire'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBinky Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 /facepalm Of course it is I don't know why my brain leapt to 'mire' instead of 'moor' - probably because in Britain it rains a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennant Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Haruki Murakami (you fiend) (ha - rook - quay - mire - something - army) That horsey track bit has me stumped though Ah, it's just "rack" - that's a type of horse gait, apparently. Nicely solved! Also, I'd intended 'hack' for the horses ('to ride a horse for pleasure or exercise') and as Nickenstein pointed out, moor not mire, so it was; Ha-Rook-Quay Moor-Hack-Army Nick; hope you had fun learning Russian & French authors!

Nickenstein79 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Nick; hope you had fun learning Russian & French authors! I learnt that there has been rather a lot of them. (The Wiki article listing French ones starts in the 11th century!) Bravo for producing the most complicated puzzle yet! More like this please.Also: 'Quay' for Sydney harbour was a nifty move. My mind locked onto the thought that for a single syllable it could only be 'bay', which threw me right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
