4 C in an E R
I can’t see the letters E R together and not think emergency room. It’s going to be embarrassingly simple, I just know it. :smack:
Help?
Four Corners in an Equilateral Rectangle? (eg, a square)
Oh, yeah, these things always have a solution.
Oh nooooooooooooo!
Aren’t there 4 corners in EVERY rectangle, equilateral or not?
4 cows in an everlasting rodeo
So simple …
Usually, yes.
4 corpses in the East River.
That’s hilarious*
*not where I live “green river killer” and all.
4 C in an E R
Force in an ear
Answer = Sound (My best guess.)
Well, there you go. 4 Corners in ****Every Rectangle.
but it’s 4 C in an E R
Yeah, I know. I started twitching when I read the OP…
ETA: sorry for the double post!
So it could be “4 Corners in an English Rectangle”…
“4 Corners in an Ethiopian Rectangle”…
Etc.
"But not “European Rectangle”, because that would be modified by “a”, not “an”.
Only if one follows the convention that the y-sound is a consonant. You know, the majority of the English-speaking world.
The “an” is what makes it not work, otherwise I would suggest: “four season a year”.
I’m still partial to some version of " 4 C" = “foresees” or “4 C in” = “four season”. But what do I know?
In this kind of puzzle, letters are genuine initials: no clever txt spk 4 u
A few possibilities off the top of my head:
4 cabbages in an Ecuadorian romance
4 corpuscles in an effervescent reaction
4 cantilevers in an equestrian racetrack
4 capacitors in an electrical robot
4 cranberries in an Elvish royalist
4 counter-revolutionaries in an extremist revolution
4 catapults in an English rodeo
4 Catholics in an ergotamine ravioli
4 corythosauruses in an ethereal rurality
Any chance you or someone else stuck an extraneous “an” in there by mistake, Dying Butterfly? That would change things. Heck, there could even be four changes in an easy riddle.
