TonyP Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 1. What English word has 5 vowels in a row? 2. What English eight letter word has only one vowel? 3. What common word has 3 double letters occurring in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Firstly i know the one one two ones one Next facetious (my wife calls me this all the time, its basically sarcastic) Next Strength although if you add another "s" you get a 9 letter word lastly Bookkeeping or bookkeeper (thankyou google!) Struggled with the last one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Btw apart from facetious there is one other word in the English language with the 5 vowels in alphabetical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 1. What English word has 5 vowels in a row? Queueing, that has 5 vowels in a row, not in alphabetical order though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Would the other word with vowels in alphabetical order be facetiously then? Which you could say completes the set with 'y' as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 What is the next line? It's late and my mind switched off several hours ago now. Anyone care to either explain these or at least provide hints??

Scott Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's late and my mind switched off several hours ago now. Anyone care to either explain these or at least provide hints?? On a digital clock a 1 has 2 dashes, a 2 has 5 dashes, a 3 has 5 dashes etc etc 1 is one 1 which equals the next line of 11 ( or 1 1) 11 is two 1's which equals the next line of 21 (or 2 1's) 21 is one two then one 1 which equals the next line of 1211 (or 1 2 then 1 1) 1211 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's late and my mind switched off several hours ago now. Anyone care to either explain these or at least provide hints?? You need to read each line out loud. The first line contains one(1) therefore the second line is 11. The second line contains two 1s so the third line is 21. Then one 2 and one 1. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
