Sunday Morning Puzzle # 13

Happy Easter everybody!

This week’s puzzle is a contest taking place in the** Field of Absurd and Obscure Trivia**. --(Sorry, it’s the best location I could get on short notice)-- Here’s a quick rundown of the rules:

  1. Pay close attention for every meaning of the key word.
  2. Part answers and plurals are OK.
  3. All answers must be at least 3 letters long. For example, “E-I”, “EI”, and “O” are all unacceptable for: *** Noise in a barnyard ***.
  4. Make your way through the Field of A&O Trivia scoring 1 point for each answer you get. After you exit, add up your total points and post the sum. The person with the highest score will be the winner of the contest. In case of a tie, the first poster with the high total wins–provided he/she can back up this total.
  5. Avoid wasting time on unanswerable questions.

All right, are you ready? Get set…GO!

So, how’d you do?
Note: There will be no puzzle next week as I will be in the mountains near Asheville NC for a family get-together.

I came out with a nice round figure of 5 and a half dozen - but I think some of these are cracked!

Warning: Hints coming. Purists take note!

Hmmm… 46 views and no posts. OK. Here’s 2 hints I originally had in the text, but took out.

  1. Rule #5 originally read: “Avoid wasting time trying to answer the mostly absurd and unanswerable trivia questions.”

  2. In Rule #4 regarding scoring: Scores in the 30’s are average. Scores in the 40’s are good. It will probably take scores in the 50’s to win. So – keep looking for “answers” if your score is low.

I’ve got one more hint, but DANG! It ain’t necessary.

Hey, we just about posted at the same time. Looks like I don’t need any hints for you, aseymayo! We may have a winner…

Uhhh, I’m pretty certain I know NONE of those. Funny, I’m often very high on the “useless nollij” scale.
