The $25,000 Pyramid Game

Woof!

That one would be easy, but for the life of me, I can’t get Under, Days and Star to go with “Toddy.”

Young un, are ye? Back in the day, early computers had daisy-wheel printers.

Rather than assume this was just too hard (or too easy), I’m going to assume it was missed on the previous page and repost it. If it goes another page without a guess, I’ll reveal the connection. Surely this is an important point in all our lives.

oriole
eagle
raven
falcon
seahawk

blue
yellow
black
green
red

Pro athletes.

And the others are all movie cowboys – or am I missing some more subtle point?

Those birds are all mascots for sports teams, so guys who play on those teams should count, too. Close enough.

Those guys were singing cowboys from the B Western era. Not really fair for today’s crowd since their stuff probably doesn’t show up even in rerun. (I thought there might be a geezer or two who would know that.)

Here’s a new batch from a puzzle I worked less than an hour ago:

circulating
checkout
reserves
media
returns
reference

(Answer has 7 letters.)

Library.

Right.

In case you like to solve these kinds of puzzles, check out Puzzability and click on “Common Knowledge.” New puzzle each weekday. Other puzzles at that site are also fun.

They’ve all been colors on on of Superman’s costumes?
(Probably wrong, but I’m posting my own anyway)

Superman
Jean Grey
Bucky Barnes
Jason Todd

Reasonable guess – could even be right – but not what I was going for.

Could your list have to do with orphans and/or people who got the superpowers as the result of someone else’s death?

Sylvester
Bones
Elijah
Real

Not sure about Barnes, but the other three have all been killed and then come back.

McCoy.
Natalie Portman
Demi Moore

shit, I can’t think of a third.

Insanely hot actresses (or at least popularly perceived as such)?

By the way, Bucky Barnes was killed in WWII, and came back last year; that is, I think, the record.

Actresses who’ve played strippers? (And gotten crap from the media for it?)

Admirer
Anti-Perspirant
Garden
Top

Nah – and that’s the problem with only two.

Mia Farrow is almost a third, but not quite.

Perhaps actresses who have shaved their head for a role? To which we could add Sigourney Weaver.
