Brain Teaser

Answers are in the comments. Thanks for playing. :)

Below are five phrases that have been tinkered with. Rearrange the words so that when they are read aloud they will sound very similar to the required phrase. For example "Ducks Sits Hound Fa Mill Ear" = "Does it sound familiar".

crows dose eggs my off pea wind
cab chalk clicks fizz lie lye ox soft
a crowed fall jest lobe Rick oath yell
beef four heap luck Yule
dud rough wharf whorls

Answers tomorrow...maybe...or the next day, but answers will come. Feel free to post your guesses in the comments.

Enjoy

Is it me, or are these out of order too? I mean, "beef four heap luck Yule" could be rearranged to "luck beef four Yule heap" which would be "look before you leap." Are we suposed to unscramble them too?

Morgan said...

Ok, this is the part where I read the directions more closely... oops

Luke said...

Two points to Morgan for being the first to get one.

Minus one point from Morgan for not reading the directions carefully before he started.

Morgan: 1point

:-)

Morgan said...

i'm not gonna spell out the final answer, so others can have fun too :)

cab chalk clicks fizz lie lye ox soft --> lie fizz lye cab ox soft chalk clicks

crows dose eggs my off pea wind --> my crows off wind dose eggs pea

a crowed fall jest lobe Rick oath yell -->jest fall oath a yell lobe Rick crowed

The last one's taking a bit...

Luke said...

Impressive! :)

If you want a small hint on the last one, just let me know.

I hope you're not killing too much time on this. *grin*

Morgan said...

Does the last one have anything to do with a dwarf?

Luke said...

Nope, not a dwarf.

The last is definitely the hardest. When you see it you'll kinda go...ehhh... because it sounds the least like what it's supposed to out of all of them.

Luke said...

my crows off wind dose eggs pea = Microsoft Windows XP
lie fizz lye cab ox soft chalk clicks = Life is like a box of chocolates
jest fall oath a yell lobe Rick crowed = Just follow the yellow brick road
luck beef four Yule heap = Look before you leap
wharf rough dud whorls = War of the Worlds

Morgan said...

Cheater!

Yeah, I agree with you, Luke, that that last one's not so much a good phonetic fit...
