We at MindGames Central have an interesting job: reading the entries each week and weeding out the incorrect ones. Sometimes it’s just one or two; sometimes it’s a lot more. Usually, they’re obviously wrong and it’s easy dismiss them out of hand. Sometimes, the guesses hint at emotional baggage and tug at our heartstrings.
This month, we received such guesses as Prelude, Defender, Love Bug, Wrangler, Rendezvous and the Inquisitor, who was a character in either Star Wars, Dragon Age or some other form of media, but definitely a painful memory. All very interesting suggestions – but all (sadly) incorrect.
This month’s puzzle was the Toyota Prius (Pre + Us). And, in hindsight, the Inquisitor just seems jealous.
Everyone who guessed correctly was put into our giant rotating drum and winners of a $10 McDonald’s Gift Card were randomly selected. Congratulations to:
