Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2014 8:09 pm Post subject: Murray's Own Whisky Anagrams Contest |
|
|
Okay. I designed some whisky anagrams. I provided the letters and you figure out each of the 3 randomly selected single malt scotch distilleries by rearranging the letters. Mark your total time for all 3 combined so we can have a winner if some folks guess all three. The prize is of course bragging rights. I'll post the winner and 2 runner ups,i.e., Gold, Silver and Bronze spots, Friday. You can submit your answers and total time to me Quaich1 using the "send a private message" function so that the other members will not see the answers until it is over.
1) h g e l g n s s u a l a g
2) l a r s h i t a s t
3) w b o m r e o
Good Luck!

Got all three inside two minutes.
The first and third were easy. Struggles a little more with the middle one. |

Took me a couple of minutes also, it was the 2nd one which didnt instantly jump out at me. I am sure others got it in seconds. |

Great idea!
Struggling with the second one. By the way did you intend to put the four middle letters of the second one in that order  |

| I think it took me about a minute (first and third I got instantly, I needed a bit for the second one) but since I hadn't read the post properly (may have been the influence of an Aberlour a'bunadh) I didn't time myself so it's pretty much an empty boast with no substance! |

Actually, I never noticed that until you mentioned it.
