Brain Teaser: Herd of Buffaloes

You are right of course…

But you can be happy if you’ve a mind to

I thought it was supposed to be:
“Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom.”

CNN inspire this question, by any chance?

Well if we take into account that Buffalo is a city in New York state, and assuming said city has a population of buffalo, and that the word “buffalo” can be a verb (to deceive, confuse, bewlider) and we turn this into a question and answer, we get:

Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo ? Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo !

TRANSLATION:
Do the bison-like animals residing in a city in western New York have a tendency to deceive others of their kind?
Yes, those bison-like animals, etc.

Tetanka!
Buff-lo!
Tatanka!
Bufflo!

Yes, thats right. Tatanka! Buffalo!

Oooh, here’s a (kinda similar) Spanish version:

como como como como como

By adding accent marks and punctuation, the above can be grammatically correct (if rather insipid).

¿Cómo comó?
Como cómo como.

Anyone else suddenly hungry? I’m craving blue cheese about now.

This reminds me of a question that I had in some type of test years ago and I have never really come up with an answer.

I am sure to foul it up but it was somewhat close to this.

Please punctuate the folowing.

HAD HAD HAD HAD HAD HAD HAD

I put all in caps as a defalt as I cant remember the original question perfectly.

I am likley to have the number of hads incorrect. This was some time ago and I hope I havent screwed it up to much.

Has anyone seen this question before or know the answer.

aurelian, that should be

¿Cómo como?
Como como como.

</nitpick>

Good book.

I guess you are thinking of this:


Punctuate this sentence:

Kevin while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher. 

Kevin, while John had had “had”, had had “had had”. “Had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.

To explain in more detail:

John had had “had” - as in John previously had “had” as his choice.

However, Kevin had had “had had” - as in Kevin previously had “had had” as his choice.

“Had had” had had a better effect - as in “had had” managed to achieve a better effect.

Dur, you’re right - but you still need the accent on the fourth one.

Another hint for the original puzzle:
There are three nouns, two verbs, and three adjectives.

My head hurts…

I’ve no clue about the OP. Here’s a much easier one:

put more room between ham and and and and and eggs

HAM AND EGGS —> HAM AND EGGS

Daniel

I curse the smart board technology!
HAM AND EGGS–>HAM…AND…EGGS
Daniel

Another hint:
If I put the word “that” somewhere in here, it’d be a lot easier. Too bad it can be elided and still make sense.
