I very rarely "Twig" these things so quickly. In my defence, my competitive nature just got the better of me. Sorry if I spoilt it for you.
To make a small amend, I thought I would put this one in.

at about two am this morning. It is a variation of a "party" game, depends what sort of parties you go to I suppose. Where about four or five people sit on chairs in a row in front of the audience and have to do the actions about what she bought, bicycle, sewing machine, wind-up record player etc etc. I tried to think of a way to do it without visual "clues". I thought if I added the bit about the reason for her buying it, then that would "muddy" the waters a bit. Perhaps it would be much harder if done verbally, easier with the clues written down.

Speicher said:Well, Papercorn, she could have bought a yacht, but where would she put it? Pete, yes she bought a yo-yo. What was next, yes I think you've got it.
Just in case you are wondering, I thought this one up myself,
I am in the process of devising another one. But that may take a bit longer. (No I am not working at the moment, and have a lot of time at home on my own). Aaaahhhh!
Joking apart, this forum, and Cafe help me to feel a lot less isolated.

Well, seeing as she uses a Zimmer frame (see above), she couldn't possibly have walked to all those places in the real Paris, in the course of a single morning. So I'm still guessing.Tetedelacourse said:
Didn't know about the plane-on-treadmill, but just googled it and it seems pretty obvious to me. Don't know what 'ducks' puzzle you are on about either, but it may be the same as the 'pigeons' puzzle I heard years ago:Sorry, couldn't resist
