Seeing as I have come back from my class trip to see one of my puzzles solved, I've got a new one that I came up with while away. It broke, so I didn't do it. True story again. Go! |

"It" (that broke)--is it an object? Does "it" (the action not done) involve using the "it" that broke? |

Is it a video game (just asking)? Could you have managed the action without the object? |

Is it a collection of objects? Are computers or electronics involved? Is it manufactured? Natural? |

**********BLOOPER-ISH********** ISH, I'm assuming that what you meant by "molecular" is that the object is composed of molecules and not atoms (i.e. salt and not sodium). Please correct me if I am mistaken. |

Broke early? No Late? No Body surfing? It could have been this... Boogie boarding? But it was in fact this! Jetski? And thus not this. You just need one more detail about how the wave broke and this puzzle is in the bag. |

It broke while you were on it? It broke on a reef or sandbar? Were all the waves breaking like this? Or just this particular one? |

breaking far out? close to shore? This one... breaking hard? as well as this one. breaking high? low? That's enough for a **********SPOILER********** On my class trip this past week to Cape May, we went to the beach exactly twice over the course of the week. A few students brought boogie boards, and several of them took them out into the surf. However, the waves had a strong shorebreak, and since I had had a bad experience boogie boarding on shorebreaking waves in Rhode Island (resulting in my head and the ocean floor becoming closer than ever), I elected not to go boogie boarding. The waves still had it in for me that week, as I and two other classmates were pulled out towards a jetty by a strong undertow while swimming, and forced to use the rocks to pull ourselves back to shore. Needless to say, the pounding waves resulted in cut-up legs all around. Nice job to ISH for working hard on the puzzle all the way through. |
