Anyone got 4.3.3 yet?

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Haven't a clue

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Still on 4.3.2 - I've tried the days of Christmas, but I didn't really think it was this ... where do the seasons come in? I can see how trinkets might be associated with Christmas, but Cows/Musicians - Birds = Spring? Autumn?

 

[Highfields Seagull]

The way to get the answer is in the question - count the birds.

 

[Hampden Park]

totally bolloxed on 4.3.3

 

[Lammy]

still can't get 4.3.2...

 

[DessieBoy]

I still can't get the anagram of ostrich. Any clues?

 

[Steph]

I answered question 3 yesterday can someone cut and paste it so I can remember what the answer was!

its not an anagram of ostrich, you don't need 2 of the letters

[Steph]

Oh that one!

After much cutting out and moving blocks around, the first letter seemed to be S, the second was a bit dodgy but possibly L if you really squinted at it, and the third could have been an I. f*** knows what the last letter was so I typed in random stuff along those lines, I think it was something like SLIT.

 

[Lammy]

Any thoughts regarding the lost property one?

 

[Steph]

No that's the one I'm now stuck on and ideas would be appreciated!

rock - diamond?
piano - grand?

Keep going round in circles and not getting anywhere

 

[Highfields Seagull]

I'm stuck here too.

 

[Hampden Park]

not got any idea yet on the lost property one yet

anybody else??

 

[Steph]

No still no ideas

Typing in random activities hasn't worked (including being an annoying f***!)

I can't beleive we are all stuck!
I don't even know where to start

Looking at the puzzle donkey forum, some woman said her gender helped her get it. They also say you can't ignore the first paragraph i.e. the herd of cows and laden washing line and piano are important. Oh and they say that Americans will have problems with it.

And anyway he is quite obviously trying to get rid of his nephews for 5 mins while he is babysitting.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

I'm worried when no-one on here has got it ...

I've tried everything I can think of.

I am guessing (likely wongly) that the items are being used to weigh down something - all are heavy, which would go with the title, and would account for a rock being better than coins, but ... Hmm ... what is the bastard doing?

That is what I was thinking but what?

I thought he may be weighing something as opposted to weighing something down?
