> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by KneadToKnow \* > \*\*Set On Fire = Ignite > x^2 + y^2 = R^2 = Area \*\* Neither are correct. The second one is an odd clue, I admit. Hint: Set is in the past tense. **DynoSaur** and **Pink Kitten** both got “The Wallflowers” and the other posted answers to my questions were correct. ---
