N00LESS CLUBIE got the right answer.....Hunger it is.


ENIGMA#6


They make the tour(ballot) of continents.
We climb them with difficulty.
But them be held,
It is a lot all the same to laugh.
Who are they?

ENIGMA#7


His(Her,Its) blow is not fatal,
But often musical.

To be better tasted(savoured).

My Guess for #7 - A musical (jazz, possibly) piece on a trumpet (or some other brass instrument)?


Clarification about #6 - was the idea to play off the similar-looking words coastal (relating to shores) and costal (relating to the ribs)?

Hmmm....This enigma might have made better sense in the original French, where côte means both rib and coast....Not so good en anglais....

Might be easier if you posted these in the original french to let us translate on our own.....

For this one I think you want a baguette which is both a bread and a rod to strike with. . . .

N00LESS CLUBIE got the right answer.....BAGUETTE it is




ENIGMA#8


Beautiful and big bird,
Which(Who) populates waters,
His(Her,Its) wings are ornaments,
Because he cannot fly easily.
Who is he?

as far as the ENIGMA#6 mach was right.....Clarification about #6 - was the idea to play off the similar-looking words coastal (relating to shores) and costal (relating to the ribs)?

Im translating the enigmas from french to english with the help of a traduction site,so sometimes it can not look so readable in english,but I think the enigma #6 was the only 1 so far who got that trouble.


I hope you guys enjoy the game so far.

Flamingos?
I dunno, the wording was strange imo. Only picked it because of the "big", "populates water" and "cannot fly easily" .. Never heard of decorative flamingo wings.

Well #7 would be a problem if you weren't familiar with the french as well, as baguette in English only refers to the bread and NOT to the other meanings of conductor's baton/drumstick which without knowing the original connotations of "baguette" en francais, many Luxxers would never know.

This one is a bit easier, c'est une cygne!

Is number 8 Albatross?

(even though they prolly fly as far as any other bird....but they DO populate water, and i imagine a bird with the largest wing span of any must NOT be able to fly as naturally as others......)

(For the record, for those of you who don't know French, when n00less said "c'est une cygne!"- he was guessing that it was a swan.)

KUDE got the right answer........TIE it is.



ENIGMA#10


C’est un accessoire très utile
Qui est petit et attachant.
Et s’il ne tient que par un fil,
Il se fixe aussi en pressant
Qui est-il ?


It is a very useful accessory
Which(Who) is small and charming.
And if he(it) likes only by a thread,
He(It) also settles by pressing(by being urgent)
Who is he?
