Audio Trios [BB306]

untitled Solve each trio correctly, and you’ll ‘hear’ three related words or names begin to emerge. For example, praise/sterile/jetty = laud/barren/pier (lord/baron/peer). Or taking a turn for the numerical, also/pro/wolfed can be converted into too/for/ate, or 2/4/8. Think you’re audiby able to solve the others? 2,4,8 – why wait?

1 Remedy/pull/person
2 Scoundrel/cay/change
3 Pelt/solver/shore
4 Jockey/spun/cleaner
5 Pub/upset/eggs
6 Fathom/pierced/recent
7 Source/assess/rough
8 Sign/swag/fraud

Can you compile your own treble?

SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB305 SOLUTION:
Pillbox (bill), frustrate (surf), advised (side), duplicity (clip), shadowy (dash), downsize (snow), ginseng (sign), fatalist (sail), backlog (black), creosote (score), blackhead (chalk), rejection (notice)

12. Perused/exhaled/lifted

Boniface — 18 April at 11:43AM

Warning - this is fairly hard:

13. Miser/lash/rebate

Boniface — 18 April at 11:28PM

6. r/g/c
7. r/w/c

Boniface — 19 April at 12:18AM

Um, make 6. p/g/c

13. preliminary/dried/cheeses

DA — 19 April at 03:37PM

Welcome IC, and two sleek examples, though 13 is still slipping my grasp...bries..breeze...?

Meanwhile, 14: steal/goaled/led [very nice]

RK — 19 April at 04:23PM

We've got two 13s on the go. In reference to Bon's miser/lash/rebate, is miser chuff leading to chough?

Boniface — 19 April at 04:25PM

@RK - no. I will tell you that the answers are three closely related mammals...

Boniface — 19 April at 04:33PM

@IC are yours authors? (ie Furst, Aird, ?)

RK — 19 April at 05:00PM

13(a) b/l/t?

IC — 19 April at 05:08PM

Apologies - maths was never my strong point!

@DA - You're on the right track with what now appears to be 13(b). (Or 15 if you'd prefer.)

Boniface — 19 April at 06:45PM

@RK no to blt. But looking up rebate sense 2 should help...

RK — 19 April at 07:16PM

I thought rebate might be taper/tapir. But no?

Boniface — 19 April at 10:31PM

@RK believe it or not, a rebate is also a carpenter's tool...

dg — 19 April at 11:32PM

Bon,

boor?/hair/rabbet

dg — 19 April at 11:37PM

maybe not boor but piker

dg — 19 April at 11:49PM

IC's 13 = draft, winned, bries

16 tap/Indian/bread

Boniface — 20 April at 09:13AM

@dg, yep, so pika, hare, rabbit.

DA — 20 April at 11:16AM

@dg, I've been banking on your Indian being a Sioux, though still to make girls of bread and tap...

Wrong tree up which I'm barking?

dg — 20 April at 12:04PM

No, you're on the first branch.

dg — 20 April at 12:05PM

Not girls exactly....

DA — 20 April at 12:37PM

Names maybe. Which pulls in fillip [pat], and leaves us with bread -

Wonder if it will be a doh moment.

Boniface — 20 April at 01:18PM

Bread/lucre/Luca?

RK — 20 April at 01:22PM

17. hot/sound/pro

dg — 20 April at 02:09PM

... this bread has flour....

RK — 20 April at 02:17PM

I'll try that again...

Pita

dg — 20 April at 06:43PM
