|
|
Coming soon to a PC screen near you:
In the beginning was the Overwhatsit Of The Universe.
And he made a puzzle.
It was a good puzzle.
A pure puzzle.
And he rejoiced in that puzzle...
Then there came a time when the Archthingummy ASA did find that puzzle.
And he lusted after it.
And he did pervert and distort that puzzle.
Until was born... from the ashes... MiscellASAneous.
And this was followed by more puzzlemanglation.
And soon did come MiscellASAneous II.
And MiscellASAneous III.
And then MiscellASAneous IV did find its way into the riddling cosmos.
Now, just when you thought it was safe to look...
We herald the arrival of MiscellASAneous V... the most devious and confounded of them all!
Be afraid!
Be very afraid!
Or be there when it launches.
Launch time is now confirmed as 06:00 GMT on 4th April (4/4) 2007. Note that this launch time is 07:00 BST in the UK and 15:30 Australian Central Standard Time.

The Hirsute One has the correct answer, but is yet to tell me why.
BTW there are other teasers posted at our associated sites. _________________ Alan

BreezyCollie was first with the correct answer and reasoning, followed by S10eke, Gordel, theAndyGrant, BethFay and the Hirstute One with the correct reasoning. _________________ Alan

We will now take a short break in the trailer puzzles for this message:
Launch time for MiscellASAneous V is now confirmed as 06:00 GMT on Wednesday 4th April (4/4) 2007. Note that this equates to 07:00 BST in the UK and 15:30 Australian Central Standard Time. For anyone slightly inconvenienced by this Aussie-friendly launch time, please note that I guarantee the contest will not finish on the first day! (And that even includes SparkPlug!)
