Relevant properties of acne: spots? Blisters? Pus? Embarrassment? Discomfort? Pain? Any treatment relevant? So this action is only possible if there's at least one person with acne around, correct? Does it involve: touching the person? Speaking with the person? Being nice to the person? Mean? Making a joke? Pun? | ||

Recap and hint: There are three relevant people: the speaker of the puzzle statement (me: a HAF); the person with acne, a H/teenager/M; and a third person, also a H/teenager/M. Because person A had acne, I was able to do something that otherwise would have been impossible for me. This new ability could also be described as new knowledge that I gained. It is not connected to my meeting anyone knew. The relevant aspects of acne are the spots, and possibly blisters. The profession (for svv of profession) of the two teenagers is relevant, as is my profession. | ||

are they twins? Yes two of a set of triplets/greater multiples? are they related to you? No to rest but that's it done! *****SPOILER***** In one of the classes I teach there are twin boys who not only look identical but have the same haircut and dress similarly. Luckily (for me), I can tell them apart by their skin! Thanks to everyone who played and to Noel and Kaylee for the final bits of information, this one lasted longer than I thought :-) |
