how, tf, was "Drink" 0 hits

koogs, Thursday, 9 June 2022 18:06 (two years ago) link

102, 62%

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 9 June 2022 18:07 (two years ago) link

142 guesses. To think my first thought when I glanced the intro was “***** tea”, but yeah “drink” and “food” didn’t register at all...

24, 50.00%. I saw the ____ per _____ bit, tried meter, meter, liter, didn't try litre for another 15 guesses. no hits for water or oil after that, then thought of beer and then wine. wasted another guess on carbonated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - i also guessed hard and soft for no good reason, no hits even though they are in there.

48 slightly annoyed because my second guess was "drink" with 0 hits

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Thursday, 9 June 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link

In 36 with unusually low accuracy of 52.78%. Just couldn’t get started on it so ended up throwing lots of filler words that didn’t really help. Finally I started on countries and three goes after France I had it

#64: 160 / 45.63%

One of these days I might try to remember trying FRANCE if I have an inkling that it's a food or drink -- I had absolutely no idea until I was on a meeting today to discuss an app we're calling sugar, and that's what put me on the right track at 96.

lol

rob, Friday, 10 June 2022 17:38 (two years ago) link

150/62% but I cheated after I'd exhausted literally every word I could think of in the subject area

rob, Friday, 10 June 2022 17:46 (two years ago) link

376 and i cheated too lmao

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 10 June 2022 17:48 (two years ago) link

38... thank goodness memories of a number 41 hit from 1982 helped me in the end. If it had been one of the other denominations I'd have given up.

Michael Jones, Friday, 10 June 2022 18:06 (two years ago) link

331 (62.24%), another cheater

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Friday, 10 June 2022 18:10 (two years ago) link

99, absolutely cheated lol

donna rouge, Friday, 10 June 2022 19:26 (two years ago) link

603, cheated. -_-

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Friday, 10 June 2022 22:30 (two years ago) link

took me too long (80 guesses) to get hindu, even longer to get denomination, knew I wasn't going to get it then but carried on to 350 guesses anyway.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 11 June 2022 10:54 (two years ago) link

260 in, I have about 50% of the first paragraph but resigned to scouring my brain until the deadline runs out

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 12:39 (two years ago) link

cheated at 242. in fact i was trying to cheat since 220 or so but it doesn't make it easy. wouldn't've got it.

tried all my good indian religion words and got enough hits to keep me going but... "one of several major..." *several*. i was trying all the numbers.

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:45 (two years ago) link

#65 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktism - another ism...

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:47 (two years ago) link

:( I got Shakti but not the ism

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:03 (two years ago) link

Yeah, I was very relieved to give up, see the answer and realize, No, I wouldn't have ever gotten that on my own.

pplains, Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:51 (two years ago) link

279 guesses in and I’m still completely mystified by today’s Redactle

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:00 (two years ago) link

going nowhere today either, I seem to have lost my ability to Redactle...

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:52 (two years ago) link

102 and gave in - I knew sedimentary and igneous but not metamorphic

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link

105, took me 102 to get to rock - I feel like I either get in the right ballpark straight away or it takes me an age to figure it out. Hits at guess 23 for solid but not liquid or gas might have been a clue.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:07 (two years ago) link

I'm shit out of rocks

Alba, Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link

redactle's got me going on my computer on saturdays now, that's a high compliment to redactle

133 today with a 30.83%!

took me FOREVER to even get close. i think i had like 5 hits in the first 40 or so?! temperature was my first in, then after flailing i tried some high temp things which led me to core and mantle, and then eventually i just tried rock and two guesses later i got there (why i went sed before met when temperature is involved is beyond me)

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (two years ago) link

I'm in the 400s, fully browsing the related pages on Wikipedia, and still don't know what it is.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:18 (two years ago) link

where's sheila chandra when you need her?

73 but I kinda cheated, once i got rock i could remember igneous and sedimentary but couldn't remember the third type

JoeStork, Saturday, 11 June 2022 22:06 (two years ago) link

got there in 414 (39.21%, extremely low) things only got moving once I struck “stone” and then “rock” at 325. needed some Wiki help to find the actual answer tho

I solved today's Redactle (#67) in 36 guesses with an accuracy of 58.33%.

Back on track! One thing I've noticed so far is that if "number" shows up, it's still not likely to be a math article.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2022 16:16 (two years ago) link

Got this one in 5. Should have been 3, but I second-guessed my instincts and put in two guesses that went nowhere before going back to my first idea.

6 for me today - good to see ILX back on track

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:43 (two years ago) link

4 for me, I equivocated between biology and physics even though I'd seen up & down and thought of something particle.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:55 (two years ago) link

#67 in 64. 64. Was tempted to give up when I realised it was physics so glad it ended up guessable even for me

Alba, Sunday, 12 June 2022 19:08 (two years ago) link

today in 4, incredibly

donna rouge, Sunday, 12 June 2022 20:13 (two years ago) link

i got the 2nd word at 6, am sleeping on the first

koogs, Sunday, 12 June 2022 20:16 (two years ago) link

Got the second word pretty early, but the first not until 65.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Monday, 13 June 2022 04:23 (two years ago) link

40ish. i moved onto phone after getting the second word at guess 6 so i can't be exact
