    You’ve got the right end of the wok, but the wrong end of the day.

    #120: You’ve nearly got one of the words. Just one letter off — and your word is related to the correct word.

    Imagine the pictograph without any detritus around it. It stands for the word that describes what it is.

    From that word you can build a still longer word by swapping math symbols for phonemes.

    Continue by swapping math symbols and fractions for words and you’ll have constructed a common phrase.

    OK, I should get extra points for trying to solve this just after 5 AM….

    How about: TIME ONE ROSE TO THE OCCASION

    My head hurts

    DBP, why do you do this to people???

    PLUS, I’m still pondering the wok one, thinking it’s probably more difficult than it seems….

    It was supposed to be “morning wok,” but I concede that this one was fuzzier than Buddha’s bellybutton.

    For instance, you can’t tell from the picture whether the sun is rising (morning) or setting (evening). And it could’ve just as easily have been “wok in the sun,” like miws guessed.

    My inspiration for it came when I overheard two old timers chatting in Danny Woo Park last month.

    One of them says: “Hey! Where you go?”

    And the other replies: “Morning wok!”

     

    And I thought: Oh my! Another sign from the gods.

    The Blog gods, that is.

    OK we’re now at 163 and still no 120. Someone needs to “rise to the occasion” and solve it already. The clues must be over all our heads DBP, so try to think at our level and see if you can help a bit more? I know, you have all the time in the world, right? Some of us are older than you ya know. We have less time for these things.

    OK, let’s try it this way:

     

    We’re now at a Degree of Difficulty of 2.8, but don’t read too much into that number. A 2.8 is still pretty high up there on the evolutionary ladder.

    I can’t speak for other neighborhood blogs, but here in West Seattle, we don’t mess around.

    Every day we’re right here hard at work, doing science, and making new discoveries . . .

    Get out of Seattle. You’re skewing our educational stats.

    Oh. What’s that?

    You went to school somewhere else?

     

    Well . . . thanks for keeping me on my toes, anyway.
