Does anyone know where the guy is? Does he himself know? Do most people who would be conserned know? Relevant where he is? Can we find out by listing off places? Or is it completely unknown in the context of the puzzle? Any contest/competition going on here? Is the guy in the suit for his own entertainment? For someone else's? Is he being paid? Does he gain something out of this? Something tangible? Does he realise he is wearing the suit? Are there other people around who can see him?

I'll have a go at picking this up, though I've got one of my own running now, so a little reciprocal attention wouldn't go amiss...  When you asked the question, was the man in the suit close to you? Did you ask someone other than the man in the suit this question? Was the man in the suit representing a company? Or in fancy dress? | ||

I'm afraid I'm stuck on this one, but I don't want this to die... So, someone said something which caused you to say "Not winged?"? Was this someone the person in the chicken costume? Was this someone a person with whom you were talking at the moment? Was this someone a stranger? Was this someone speaking to a larger crowd? The location of the chicken guy: in the street, correct? on the pavement? in the street itself, i.e. where the cars drive? on top of something? below something? at a bus stop? inside a cage? inside a vehicle? inside something else? any nearby buildings/structures relevant? Did the chicken guy seem happy? sad? professional? Did he do some show? Did he hand out something? Were there any posters? requisites? other people in costumes? other relevant people without costumes? Is anything else relevant that can be winged, (apart from chicken guy)? Is the verb "wing" in the sense of "improvise" relevant? | ||

Oh... did she talk about an "armed chicken"? (7zuztvrfuhxrfgbrf - *banging head against keyboard* - this took long!)Yay you got it! ************SPOILER***************** The exact quote from the intro to a news story about the bank robbery was... "Police are on the lookout for a giant chicken. They say he's armed and dangerous." My immediate reaction, of course, was "Not winged?" Thanks for finally putting the nail in that coffin, Christiane!! |
