Yes, you do lose. One more guess, and then the question changes.

[Hadel]

No.Alchemy is perceived to be a sort of magical equivalent to science, being able to turn elements into other elements. Nostrum is the same sort of magical equivalent for remedies, having no scientific proof of working but relying solely on what are perceived by many to be quack methods.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 32.

to quote erachimadiaphanous:cacophonous::transparent:noisyA diaphanous material is one which is so fine that it can be seen through. A cacophony is an unholy din.as for riddles, i just added one.

[pengu]

alcove: a recess or small room adjacent to or opening out of a room: a dining alcove.so. a = b. so maybe d? a chimney could be called a turret i guess.

[Hadel]

Nope. One more guess.

[pengu]

in architechturedome = a polygonal vault, ceiling, or roof..a=b.

[Hadel]

That guess is right.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 62. Erachima - 12. Seashairo - 12.

Definitions of intransit on the Web: * Goods that have been shipped by an originating source but not yet received. Treated as an expected receipt by planning systems, and classified as belonging to either the shipping or receiving entity based on the contracted freight terms for purposes of claims and inventory status.er... what? i dont get the relationship.

[Hadel]

Wrong word. I screwed up. I also forgot a point of yours.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 72. Erachima - 12.

[pengu]

Well. its quite possibly b.military terms, epaulet on shoulder, decorations on uniform. merh. possibly only.

[Hadel]

Well, you are kind of right in your reasoning, but you must be more specific. There are at least two others that have military connections as well.Your choice is wrong anyway. One more guess.

[pengu]

mmmm.. a? refers to a body part? shoulder/chest?then theres the fact a epaulet is ornamental, as is a medal. you dont run arouund with a medal on all the time do you? could possibly something that is awarded.?
