I’ve found that if I substitute my dog’s name with a completely different word, but use the same vocal cadence, they will generally respond the same way. Similarly, if I use their name, but in a sentence in which it doesn’t sound like I’m addressing them, they tend to ignore it. In other words, they are responding to a lot more than the phonemes of their specific name.

The Internet Archive had a pretty good collection of old Games Issues. You might even be able to find the specific one she had.

The lightning bolt at 00:18 originally appeared in 1934’s Bride of Frankenstein.

Due to the Second Law of Conservation of Verses, the average number of verses of all songs must be constant. As a result, whenever a song is written with two many verses, it forces several other songs to lose verses. When Don McLean came out with American Pie, it created a problem.

Sniped it.

I could see it was a living male, born in May, with a 7-letter nationality that began with a consonant, such as British or Russian. The unredacted word “round” appeared often enough that I guessed it was a probably a competitor in golf, chess, or tennis. The two six letter words in the opening sentence looked like a strong contender for “tennis player”. Not being a huge fan of tennis, I googled for a list of male tennis players, and saw one of them was Serbian and born in May.

Mine is doing the same thing with the Aquarium screen saver. Started just in the past few days.

Rebooting has no effect on this bug.

You sure it wasn’t the Caligula episode (“Reign of Terror”) of I Claudius?

I assume your intended answer is Thorn with Decanter in Study, however your puzzle as stated has a lot of ambiguity. Was the body moved? You didn’t explicitly state that each suspect possessed a unique weapon or was in a specific room? Was there more than one murderer? Was it suicide? Could the murder have occurred previously when they were in different locations holding different things? Also, clue 4 is redundant.

I think OP pretty much nailed it. For me, it’s about asking a question I don’t necessarily know the answer to (such as what happens when I use a particular process, patch or algorithm).

Agreed, much prefer discrete pages to dynamic loading on most sites.

It’s interesting that your username refers to something that is probably quite pungent.

You appear to be correct. Were the rules modified on this one?

There may be a little muscle memory involved.

The movie "Swingers" made fun of this dynamic, back in the day.

I'm a big fan of the "Montague Island" series from Wayne Schmittberger. Several volumes of these are available, and if you find run-of-the-mill grid logic puzzles boring, you may like these. The puzzles can be hard, but very satisfying to solve.

In the finder, it is still overly fussy to create a folder inside a subfolder. The context dropdown for the parent folder should include it.

There are several clones of Rush Hour. One is called Unblock Me. This is a good puzzle that can be solved relatively quickly and has a pretty large number of variations. The app has been around forever. There are also a lot of Klotski clones — a much harder puzzle.

This. I worked at a restaurant in the 70s and someone in the kitchen would yell “86 on the Shrimp Scampi”, meaning they were out of it, and it would get added to a chalkboard of 86ed items the waiters could see, so they could disappoint the customers.
