h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hee hee I can just see you now scribbling furiously like I do on a piece of scrap paper
Such exciting lives we lead
Didn't make this one too easy..I dont even know what the hell it means

You may well laugh and you guessed correctly, i'm scribbling like mad and your word is hard, I can't find the start or the end but I do enjoy it, sometimes I feel a bit guilty that I havn't had a proper delve into h2g2 because theres always another word... havn't even finished my page .. oh and when we were locked out! I was climbing the walls thinking that the word games were all happening without me.. much better than watching the tv tho..

S

Oh well I'm glad you enjoy it.If you wanna clue give me a shout!
Incidentally I added you to my friends list Sam..hope you dont think I'm being forward
Then again clues sometimes spoil things dont they?
That one Mort posted was a killer..a bit like my ophicleide
Yeah your right about the telly..it sucks!apart from E/enders of course!
Gordon

Hi Gordon, i'm glad you added me to your friends list... believe it or not I didn't realise that I could do anagrams until I tried on here.. the one on Countdown I can't get at all its too quick for me so I just assumed I couldn't do them.. and Mort's word had me going through my dictionary page by page & ... i'm not quite ready for a clue yet but I have a feeling that i'm going to need one I also enjoy logic problems I can sit for hours working my way through them..
Now.. back to that word!

S

check out the 'mix the last 3 letters'

S

I just did...all good fun!

Yeah I just saw your post.. he'll be scratching his head as to how to answer that one.. its brilliant...

S

I see it has been bodyswerved..still waiting for a response...How you doing with the word?
Rebs is ok..well so I've been told from a good source..HELLO REB'S I can tell your lurking!I dont really mind a bit of banter Sam but I cant abide folk bringing me down for no reason..
I know in my heart he means no harm so as far as I'm concerned its just a bit of fun..maybe it was you he was getting at's

He he it most definately was me he was getting at, but I deliberately put your name in knowing your Scottish too.. that was a bit evil of me lol... he definately did a sidestep (this time) and yes Rebs is ok i've known him from LD days.. well the word is just not coming at all.. still no beginning or end I turn the back to front but I see zilch got a few in the 9 letter one tho.. but they were easy compaired to yours...

S

Oh you little minx's
Well I can see the funny side..hope he canI've forgotten the word now....Ooops only kidding!
I havent really got access to a really good dictionary but I think I need to go buy one soon!
So your Scottish..where are you then?
Its ok you can be vague if you like I wont be offended!

I'm a at times.. I'm from East Fife a place called Windygates..
I would be totally lost without my Oxford Illustrated dictionary I like to check the spelling before I post just incase.. already made a cracker of a mistake so I don't want a repeat.. I also have the Oxford interactive on my computer but I don't use it.. it would mean me moving from my comfy seat.. lazy or what!! can I ask where you hail from?

S

Sam I'm roughly 7 miles from Glasgow city centre to the East about 5 miles from Hamilton if youve ever heard of it!
Actually I'd love to know what this word meansHow do I get Oxford interactive..I've a bushnet box in the other room..would I just search for it..excuse my lack of computer knowledge I unfortunately dont have one through choice as I think I'd turn into more of a hermit than I am at the moment..

Heres something for you..you said you like problems n stuff...

Only thing is you will have to do the working out with a pen or something..anyway to get to the point,
With one stroke and one stroke only..ie one mark with a pen make this mathematical problem equate;

5+5+5=550

Gordon I don't have a clue because i've got it on CD.. i'm not hooked up to the internet but I would imagine it will be there.. just type in Oxford Interactive Dict in one of the search engines and see what it comes up with.. you should get a few results and for what you require just click on it... I use my computer for work so I prefer sitting here with my little keyboard on the sofa.. but when h2g2 locked me out once again I was wishing that my computer was in a state to go on the internet.. I will at some point do this but it needs an upgrade first..

S

Only once stroke OMG it's not that easy at first sight...

ps I meant to say that I have of course heard of Hamilton my dad comes from Beith in Ayrshire but moved here when he married my mum...

S

It is easy babe..I'll leave it with you for the time being...My mum moved to Ayrshire..what a travel I have when its visiting time..lol
I'm offsky..been nice chatting..my head hurts with all this staring at a screenso hope to see you later and I'll keep my eyes open for when you solve the anagram..take care and goodmorning
G

Nite G.. well i'm off too as i'm up at 7 for work.. sleep well and chat soon..

S

I got it... you turn the second plus sign inot a 4 making 5 + 545 = 550 that was abit of a cheat saying I had to work it out on paper!! good one tho..

S

Well done...if you post a ten letter anagram quickly you will get a turn!

I hope you read my bit about your word.. I thought it better to type it up in there rather than just tell you here as it was a perfectly good word... oh but what an explanation I didnt type all of it up its from the word ABITURIENTENEXAMEM... I manage to get my freebie lol
