I really enjoyed reading the completed entry today. I knew the thing, but not much detail about it, so I found it really interesting.

Helped by the huge spoiler in a previous post, which I would have preferred not to see. I don’t usually look at this thread before I solve it, but the clue was there in my watched threads…

25 guesses today, 84% accuracy. Happy with that.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/06/2022 18:22

Whew.

There were clues to the type of thing, and fairly subtle ones for some details, on quite close reading. I could then only think of one that would fit the word lengths.

Way below the average today, but more interesting to me than chemistry or physics!

Pleased with that because I had the general area but thought for a while the specific answer would be something I didn’t know.

Knew what it was about very early on, but just had to keep plodding on with the guesses. I thought I'd end up googling but suddenly got one word and the rest clicked.

Oh come on! I actually don't believe some of these results, you guys are toying with each other! 😂

AuntieStella · 07/06/2022 19:50

Well I got the first word of the title quite early on (73) - lucky guess, but a slightly informed one as I knew roughly what I was looking for.

But I know I don't know the second word. If I did, I'd have got it in 74!

I'd find it not in a trice on google. But right now I'm playing in a different way, and merrily racking up the guesses as I try to fill in the whole of the rest of the article!

|will probably can that and google in about 10 mins when pedantle comes out...

ErrolTheDragon · 07/06/2022 19:53

I do it the opposite way and try to work out enough blanks in my head to get it. Not quite sure which dank corner of my brain this one lurked in, I'm a bit Hmm at it really being in the topmost 10,000 'vital' Wikipedia entries.

Got the rough theme fairly early on but wandered off down a rabbit hole for a bit - fortunately a big enough clue emerged to set me right!

HeritageVegetable · 07/06/2022 20:44

I've got most of the words in the first paragraph so know exactly what sort of thing it is but am still baffled. I'd expect that it was really obscure. But I would have sworn I know slightly more about this subject than the average UK MNer and loads of you have got it. What am I missing???? (Don't tell me, I'm sure it will come to me eventually).

HeritageVegetable · 07/06/2022 20:55

Finally got it. 349 guesses. The words just escaped me, but finally came to mind after I'd filled in the bulk of the narrative.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/06/2022 22:16

Maybe if you know more about this general subject you'd have more options to confuse you?!

HeritageVegetable · 07/06/2022 22:29

I think the phrase was just hiding. I was thinking of everything I knew in that category, and drawing an absolute blank and then it suddenly sprang to mind out of nowhere.

WheelofLife · 07/06/2022 22:30

88 guesses. 63.64% accuracy. Happy with that :)
