No more mister niceguy

Jamie secretly assigns values to each of the letters in the word TAPER and then provides Cindy with the sums of the letters in these shorter words:

TRAP 50 PEAT 38 RATE 33 PERT 48 REAP 43​

Jamie challenges Cindy to determine the sum of the letters in TAPER, and she does it quite quickly. Can you?

Raise the Trophy Rmarkr

The Easy way:
So she divided 212 by four to get the answer: 212/4 = 53.
You donÔÇÖt need to work out the individual values, but for the record, they are:
T=10
A=5
P=20
E=3
R=15
Just like Rmarkr said:

Whoop it up!

How long is the windpipe of an adult whooping crane?

And thanks for the sailing smiley. Loved it.

 

[PAULBACH]

Whoop it up! Raise the Trophy SIBUD

It’s five feet long. The bird’s buglelike call of ker-loo, ker-lee-loo can be heard from miles away.

Will be back with a bonus trivia question.

OK back to a tip

For years I have carried one of the best firewood gathering devices around.

Most camp areas have pine trees and the lower branches are almost always dead and very dry, due to the protection from the canopy above it. The only problem is that these branches are 15'-20' or more high.

My trick was to take a golf ball and screw a small eye hook into it, then attach 40' or 50' of high strength poly cord to the eye.

You then take the golf ball and toss it over a branch, and work it over the branch until you have both ends of the cord. Next start tugging, using the natural rebound of the branch to set up an oscillation of the branch, then with a mighty tug, snap it off! Just pay attention and be ready to vacate the landing zone if need be..

Of course check local rules and regulations to make sure you are not violating them.

Quick, dry, and convenient fire wood is always just a stones throw, scratch that.................. just a golf ball throw away.

After learning firsthand how hard it is to lift my k1100lt solo after a parked tip over on grass, (couldn't find good place to grab) I put a cam buckle tie down in the tail cowling so if it happens again, I have a chance of getting it upright on my own. I will fasten it to the engine protection bar and to mounts near the rear footpeg.

That may explain what happens when you buy a sleeve of golf balls.

• One is a camper (in the woods)
• One is a swimmer (in the water)
• One is a player.

Somehow you have managed to filter out the camper. How do you do that?
Great Touring Tip

Artistic License

ARTISTIC LICENSE​

Take the last name of a famous artist who cut off part of his ear. Cross out the word for a mover’s truck. At the end of the remaining letters, write the word for a cheer at a bullfight. Cross out the symbol for the first element in the Periodic Table. The name of a certain board game now appears twice in a row. Transpose the letters in the second appearance of that game. Now read all the letters. The result is in line with what we said above.

Oh, and like my math teacher used to say … show all work.

 

[PAULBACH]

GOOGLE VanGogh

ANSWER: Google.
Van Gogh ÔÇô van + ole ÔÇô H (hydrogen) = Gogole;
Transpose the letters in the second go to og. The result = Google
