Did someone ( or a group of people? ) saved money by including vowels in the written text, something they have not been doing before? | ||

Did they write one word which contained all the vowels? Were the vowels in the order they are in in the title? Were there consonants written between them? | ||

New member Username: Sixtyeight Post Number: 401 Registered: 6-2007 |
is there relevance in the title? specifically why you wrote the vowels out of the standard order (aeiou)? did the vowels and consonants form words? english words? relevant how he wrote the letters? typing? handwriting? engraving? painting? skywriting? | ||

ok, here's a stab in the dark (and all are along the same line of questioning)... the person who wrote the words, did he misspell anything? was a crime involved? a robbery? bank robbery? if so, did the person who wrote the words demand cash? were any of these words involved?"hand me...your" | ||

ok, here's a stab in the dark (and all are along the same line of questioning)... the person who wrote the words, did he misspell anything? No and irr was a crime involved?Yes-ish a robbery? bank robbery? Neither if so, did the person who wrote the words demand cash? None were any of these words involved?"hand me...your"No I think I was misleading in the opening sentence. Instead of all the vowels, add the words a few consanants in there | ||

I'm confused by the last clue..is it now.."Money was saved by a writing a few consanants" or is it "Money was saved by a writing of all the vowels and a few consanants"? or something else? | ||

I'm confused by the last clue..is it now.."Money was saved by a writing a few consanants" or is it "Money was saved by a writing of all the vowels and a few consanants"? Bingo. Or if you like, change it to a writing of one described as a word have vowels and consanents. i was way too vague in my first sentence or something else? | ||

ambidextrous? doesn't make sense, but the vowels fit and it took me all of 5 seconds to come up with, so i think its a clear winner :-D but seriously, The five vowels all appear only once? and in the order of the title? is it one word? or a short phrase? that would be used in legal contracts? no other flashes of inspiration like my first one, so i'll leave it there for now. | ||

YES! doesn't make sense, but the vowels fit and it took me all of 5 seconds to come up with, so i think its a clear winner :-DDing ding ding, you win a prize of an E, an S and a Y! but seriously, The five vowels all appear only once? and in the order of the title? is it one word? or a short phrase? that would be used in legal contracts? no other flashes of inspiration like my first one, so i'll leave it there for now.Correct! | ||

actually, I like the puzzle statement as is. no need to mention the consonants.. but that doesn't mean that there aren't any ;) are vowels relevant beyond that fact that they arrange in that order when you remove consonants? is more than one word relevant? 1 word? under 10 words? was the person who wrote words a human? adult? male? did he commit a crime? think about commiting a crime? was a crime committed against him? | ||

so all of the vowels and consonants make a single word and it's ambidextrous? or are there more words? | ||

so money was saved by writing the word "ambidextrous"? Did it have any other words to go with it? Could money have equally been saved by writing something like "able to use both hands equally well"? Or is the actual word relevant? | ||

so if the above is not true, do we still need to reveal specifically which vowels and consonants were written with the result of saving money.... as in the puzzle statement? was "ambidextrous" written? is left relevant? right relevant? is there relevance to writing lefty? righty? is somone's handwriting relevant? | ||

lol, i had no idea that was gonna be correct. in fact i'd pretty much convinced myself it wasn't. ambidextrous - using the modern meaning, being equally capable with either hand? or is the root 'dexter' meaning right hand relevent? as opposed to 'sinister' for left hand? the persons job is relevent - is it a job where it is an advantage to be ambidextrous? does the person do the work of two people? | ||

Was he supposed to sign a cheque, or another legal document, but signed it with the "wrong" hand, rather the hand he doesn't normally use to sign, hence rendering the signature and the cheque void, but seeming valid to the scammer, thus leading him on? Long shot, but any multiple personality sorta thing involved? Schizophrenia? Maybe the almost victim and the preventer were twins? If not, related in any way to eachother? | ||

W00t! I love that going with your gut helps in these puzzles Ok, so can I assume that the almost-victim and the preventer were in face two psycho-manifestations of the same person? So the scammer was trying to take the weaker side of the person for a ride, but the stronger side kicked in, and using the fact that they both had different handwritings, prevented the scam? Here I am assuming that the two personalities had different handwritings. FA? If so, maybe the fact that the individual could write with both hands helped him write something faster? | ||

I want to establish the roles in the puzzle. personality 1 = A, personality 2 = B, and third person = C (here im assuming that the 3 roles are fulfilled by 2 ppl, 1 normal and the other split-personality) Scammer --> A? B? C? Almost-victim ---> A? B? C? Preventer ----> A? B? C? Is this all complete FA? :-( | ||

Let me take a stab at this. Is the scammer a handwriting analysis company that purports to be able to divine your personality from your handwriting? If not, is it even relevant what the ambidextrous person wrote? Or just the way he wrote it? I assume that the scam itself is the crime? Or are there other crimes involved? | ||
