By Hannah Kinghern (Kdoc) on Sunday, February 20, 2005 - 03:04 pm: Hi Woubit - you can call me hannah ;) All right then. Hello Hannah by 'branch' do you mean 'choice'? no did someone make a wrong choice? no go in a wrong direction? yes, aas it happens literally? yes - but this is not the primary meaning of "branch" here did anyone die as a result of this wrong branch? no, sorry - this is a puzzle with no deaths in it at all, nor yet sex or violence. Apologies to all concerned - please form an orderly queue to collect your refund anyone get physically injured? no yope to romance.. is adultery involved? nomarriage? yes, but only very peripherally sex? (surely not on a Sunday!) quite so. Stick to cooking, is what I say. did someone misunderstand something? no misread something? no did one person act stupidly? this one two? many? relevant where this takes place? not the geographical location, no, but the kind of venue, yes in the UK? yes could it have happened in a different country? yes, but not as likely to do so did this take place indoors? this one outdoors? in town? this one in the country? in winter? summer? in the autumn, as it happens, but this does not matter flowers involved? no plants of any kind? no valentine's day? woubits do not know what this is, sorry | ||

By Lynne (Lynne) on Sunday, February 20, 2005 - 08:36 pm: Was the 'wrong branch' dispatched to a trouble spot? no - there wasn't actually a branch of the military actively involved in the puzzle at all | ||
