Mystery Emu | Reveal August 29 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Mystery is all the rage, right now, and I'm all about bandwagons, so I'm jumping on!

This is a 3 question Emu. Just PM me the name of a country and I'll do the rest!

Reminder: this is just like a sheep, except you don't want to have the most popular answer for all the questions. If you do that, your score is reduced to zero.

Reveal will probably be the evening of August 29.

Whole numbers could be 1. odd or even 2. 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc 3. have x letters in the English spelling of their names.

Different numbers will fall differently into the three categories, providing different sheeps.

You would think, after playing 3 of these in the past week, I would get it. I think peehs made more sense to me as a mystery game. Anyway, thank you! And....in.

I played it before, but couldn't figure it out when it was re-introduced.

And, no doubt, it works better as a peehs game, but I gotta be different.

I give anyone doing mystery respect. It was way above my brain power to put one together.

I've gone back and forth quite a bit on the 3 questions. I have them, now, but I reserve the right to make a late change, before looking at the submissions.

Thank you to the 15 entrants so far. There are 3 days and change until the reveal, and more is always better. I expect it to go off just ahead of eyebooger's 1,000,000,000,000,000th post sheep.

No problem, there are many hours left. Btw, I'm a big fan of the Asterix books. Thanks for entering.

based on your avatar, I'm guessing you're from Quebec? So did you read them in their original French?

I'm an anglo whose French has atrophied. I could probably get by if I had to. I have read a few in French, but mostly in English. I lived in Quebec, just outside Ottawa from 73 to 79. Big fan of the Expos, and I'm still bitter.

If eyebooger is going to reveal around 9 p.m. Eastern, I will try to go 7ish. Probably will have to adjust for supper.

If anything, I'll be later than 9 as opposed to earlier. Emus don't take long to reveal; I can wait until you're finished before I start mine.

Something has come up at home, so I'm going to have to put off the reveal until tomorrow morning. I'm very sorry for the delay.
