But if you confirm that it’s him I can find it, and it means I know the final movie as well. Question: What movie did Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who appeared in this puzzle) and Robert DiNiro (who didn’t) appear in together? The title of that film describes your logic. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > I was hoping for Oh, such a good guess. You know, I’ve been wanting to see that, but when I ordered it from Netflix, it was damaged. So I never saw it. And so, never included it in the final solution to this puzzle. Come to think of it, I never saw the actual solution puzzle either. 😉 You’re guess is wrong. ---

Flawless? Hardly. I’m going to box the missing pieces of the puzzle: Gregg Edelman was in The Cradle Will Rock Andie McDowell was in Four Weddings and A Funeral They were both in Green Card With Gerard Deprardieu who starred with Gabriel Byrne, John Malkovich (and Leonardo DiCaprio) in The Man in the Iron Mask. But, and it’s a big one, I can’t find anyone from Wrath of Khan who was in Green Card. ---

Three actors, three musketeers. I’ll consider this puzzle sovled, but I ask you this: Could she cook, or couldn’t she? Bebe Besch, who I may have just confused with Bebe Neuworth, so maybe I fucked up. Shame on me. :mad: Next puzzle? ---

Fucked up I did, big time, and I apologise. Bebe and Bebe, baby? Boy boy, did I make a big big mistake. You win. Puzzle #6? ---

Obviously, you don’t own a winter cap made of 26 layers of Reynold’s Wrap, either. I suggest fashioning one, then renting this piece of shit, if only for the purpose of seeing how bad acting meets conspiracy theory. It’s an interesting study on how dumbshits think. And a curious way to flush both $4.99 and 90 minutes of your time down the toilet. ---
