More all-encompassing, like me, you must be. ~~OO~~ A hero, a patriot, a true friend to choose... If you still need a hint, I'll give you the 'clues.' IP Logged You're welcome! (get it?)

Other than that, I'm kinda stuck - Other than possibly one referring in some way to measures of sound (decibels or similar) which start below the audible range - not sure where Julius Caesar sneaks in with this though     As for three - surely not some kind of self-referential riddle   IP Logged rmsgrey Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 2873 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #2 on: Apr 29th, 2004, 4:14am » Quote Modify For one: ::A grain is an archaic measure of weight and also a part of an ear (of corn)::   No idea about 3 though IP Logged evergreena3 Full Member     Gender: Posts: 192 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #3 on: Apr 29th, 2004, 8:30am » Quote Modify No, no, no, no, and no.     Keep trying!     EverGreenA3 IP Logged You're welcome!

First would be kernel, homonym for colonel Second then has to be general Third could possibly refer to a "private" eye looking for clues? just a wild guess Then a connection to the title might be Off we go sounds like the races, so maybe it's Man O'War IP Logged evergreena3 Full Member     Gender: Posts: 192 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #5 on: Apr 29th, 2004, 12:27pm » Quote Modify Ooohh...   Asterix has 1 & 2 right...3 needs work...   Good job so far...keep going!

Three Hands Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 715 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #6 on: Apr 29th, 2004, 4:01pm » Quote Modify Along the lines of Asterix's answers, possibly captain for part 3 - at least that's the rank which screams out at me when thinking of "heroes" and "patriots" - maybe just too many films, or something...   Not sure what the overall answer would be, though... IP Logged evergreena3 Full Member     Gender: Posts: 192 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #7 on: May 4th, 2004, 1:31pm » Quote Modify 3 is still not right.   Think I'll go watch a kid's show about a dog.     EverGreenA3 IP Logged You're welcome!

This would leave the last one as being one of the following: Major, Captain (already discarded as wrong), Lieutenant, Sergeant, Airman, (and possibly Brigadier) - Don't know how any of these relate to a children's show about a dog, though   IP Logged BNC Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 1732 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #9 on: May 4th, 2004, 3:05pm » Quote Modify Maybe #3 is::"blues" from Blues Clues::   In that case, maybe it has to do with the US civil war?     [e] Having just read Three Hands's reply, and not being from the US myself, I'd like to ask: is the US airforce uniform blue?[/e] « Last Edit: May 4th, 2004, 3:09pm by BNC » IP Logged How about supercalifragilisticexpialidociouspuzzler [Towr, 2007] Three Hands Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 715 Re: Off we go!   « Reply #10 on: May 4th, 2004, 3:55pm » Quote Modify Another quick google later, and yes, the Air Force uniform is blue. Sounds like you've got the answer to 3 though BNC - never heard of that show, but google apparantly has...
