Ok medgirl?, I give up. You win. I lose. You're intelligent, I'm intellectually lacking. You're fun, I'm boring. You're good-looking, I'm unattractive. Now PLEASE tell us the answer!
I've already told Burnsie the answer, but since medgirl is now AWOL, I will now share it with the rest of you. It's CITGO. SIT-GO. Get it?
Here's the puzzle again, in case you forgot what it was:
Take a familiar brand name, seen along roads and highways in the United States. It has five letters, two syllables. The first syllable, phonetically, is a word that is the opposite of the word spelled by the second syllable. What brand name is it?

Ok, so the next puzzle is a chem one.
😀 Give it a shot:
Write down these two chemical symbols, on the first line write LI, for lithium, and FE for iron. Underneath write NE for neon. And AR for Argon. Reading across you get the four letter words, life and near. And reading down you get, line and fear, completing a miniature word square composed only of chemical symbols. The object is to create a 3X3 square, composed of nine chemical symbols, in which each of the three rows across and each of the columns down, spells a word. You may use either one letter or two letter chemical symbols, but the idea is to use as many two letter ones as possible. Only un-capitalized words are allowed. Our source for acceptable words will be Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary.
Again, if you get the answer, you can submit it to NPR. G'luck.
P.S. Someone here besides caveman and me has got to come hang out in the FL class threads (in the subforum for Allopathic). We have threads for USF, UF, and Miami, so please, consider yourselves personally invited to join us. We're both feeling very lonely in there by ourselves, and if you don't come hang out with us, we may get desperate soon and initiate a FL allopathic schools rumble.
