Well, we are still going! And still learning about subjects new and old!

As before, only rule is no spoilers!

I knew what it was but just couldn't recall the actual word, so had to Google.

Took me over 100 guesses to get even a vague area, but managed ok from there.

There's so much luck involved.

Two subjects I know adequate amounts about.

Yesterday I clicked the general subject matter immediately from the shape of the sentences and got it in four.

Today I headed off in completely the wrong direction to start off with and took 106 guesses.

I did Google once I had a phrase. I had heard of it (and once upon a time I knew what it was)

Reached 200 guesses, then googled. I didn't know the word, I'd never have got it.

Another one where I knew exactly the word I was looking for but took ages to dredge it out of my memory! These last couple have really tested out my ageing brain (and found it wanting…).

LadyOfTheCanyon · 31/05/2022 04:06

Did not enjoy this one as I don't have the right vocabulary for it!

I forgot to do this one yesterday, thank goodness it was straightforward.

Redcrayons · 31/05/2022 07:24

got the second word reasonably early and went through everything I could think of connected to that. Got the key word in the opening paragraph, but had to google as I didn’t know the umbreLla term. hopefully something I can do without googling today.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/05/2022 09:16

I expect you'd have found yesterday's straightforward too, Chemenger!

This game is a bit 'two cultures', isn't it? I'm impressed by people who aren't in technical areas persisting and working their way to the answers.

Chemenger · 31/05/2022 09:37

I struggled a bit with valence because I got valency early and didn’t think of valence. I don’t do much detailed chemistry, I’ve forgotten most of it!

BIWI · 31/05/2022 17:11

I was about to give up, until I guessed the second word of the title. There was enough in my other guesses to allow me to get there by some judicious Googling.

I would never have got it otherwise. My accuracy is shocking, and the list of words I've guessed are mainly big fat zeroes!

Not bad given this is my least favourite topic.

These types are my least favourite.

Happy with this considering I gave up on yesterdays!

InMySpareTime · 31/05/2022 18:17

I literally studied this many years ago. Just couldn't think of that word despite having the rest of the first paragraph so had a small Google at the end.

84 but googled when I got to about 81. Should have stuck with it, I could have got it (eventually, but I think it would have been about 300 guesses).

I got to a key phrase and Googled because I realised that I wouldn't be interested in the subject!

Same about the key phrase but took rather more attempts to get there!
