Fruit flies like a banana. Time flies like an arrow.

Can you think of any sentence, composed of one word, where you could repeat the same word a lot of times and the sentence would make sense?

A general has two arms.
Two is an even number.
A good general is forewarned.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Four is certainly an odd number of arms to have!
The only number that is both even and odd is infinity!
Therefore, Generals have an infinite number of arms.
Inconceivable!

What do these words have in common?

tick
upper
weep
hook
able
ink
lower
oil
wear

Ah! If you put an s in front of them they make other words!

No guesses on the magic sentence with one word repeated a bunch?

I'll give a hint: large, native american bovine creature.

A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal Panama!


Aha!




I's still thinking.

A yak, a yam! :)

Ray Charles is Blind
Love is Blind
God is Love
Therefore, Ray Charles is God!

These sets of letters are divided into two groups, what is the basis for the division?

Try that one smarty pants.

And, I think you are trying to buffalo me on the bovine thing.

I am not normally sheepish, but this puzzle is getting my goat.


Native American bovines:
American buffalo
Pronghorn antelope
Dall sheep
ountain sheep
ountain goat

OK, so Panamah's letter puzzle has to do with the top letters not having any rounded parts while the bottom all have rounded parts. However, I'm unsure about Fyyr's except I'm sure it has something to do with Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Hmmmm.

Fyyr... you're soooo close.

Buffalo girl won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight,
Come out tonight,
Buffalo girl won't you come out tonight...
and dance by the silvery moon..

O O N

That spells...

Buffalo girls go 'round the outside,
'round the outside,
'round the outside...



And don't you dare give us the answer(at least until someone figures out mine) yet.
[hint: If you ever had a C-64 printer, it would be easy for ya.]

I thought I figured yours out...
The "s" thing isn't it?

Yes, you got the first one.

y second one is sort of like your second one, but different. The letter ones.

A man, a plan, a cat, a ham, a yak, a yam, a hat, a canal Panama!


This one? I thought you were making fun of my name.

No, that one was just a palindrome. /wink.



This one:

"These sets of letters are divided into two groups, what is the basis for the division?

ACEMNORSUVWXZ
BDFGHIJKLPQTY"

but his was a fake palindrome extended just for effect.. the original is " a man, a plan, a canal, panama"

other good ones are attributed to napolean.. "able was i ere i saw elba"

and the biblical "madam i'm adam" to which she simply replied "eve"

fake?

I knew the palindrome part. Ok, I'll look for the other letter one.

I think Fyyr has solved the one word repeated many times one, judging from the goading he has done. But... will he know how many times it can be repeated?

Your puzzle is hurting my head.

Lets see... half the alphabet is in one and half the other. In a non-fixed point font the lower half is shorter, but not ever letter is. Ow.

The top half is weighted toward the last half of the alphabet so I don't think any numeric analysis would do it.

And the hint was a C-64 printer. Assuming that's dot matrix... if so then it must be something about the formation of the letters.

Well, if you make them both lower case then the bottom row is the only one with some descending letters, but not all of them. Ow!

Except for the Z in the top row, none of the top row ones has a looping thing when you write them cursively. But almost all the bottom row ones do!

I'm stuck!

Hey! His palindrom wasn't fake!

"I'm stuck!"

Not really, you got most of it.

Lower case has sticky down thingies and pointy up thingies(descenders and ascenders).

Doh! I should've printed it instead of using cursive

Well, take a stab at the one word many times sentence, Fyyr!

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Can you think of any sentence, composed of one word, where you could repeat the same word a lot of times and the sentence would make sense? [/quote]

Are homonyms allowed?

Just to clarify, are you saying the entire sentence is composed of one word repeated over and over? Does length matter?

If not, I have one: "Hi" :)

And if you are addressing a person named Hi, it could be "Hi, Hi"

/runs off screaming

It's gotta be the same word repeated N times. N is lots larger than 2. :) I'll be impressed if you get up to 5, but even that won't be quite enough.

I'll be impressed if you get up to 5, but even that won't be quite enough.

The teacher was upset because the student he had had had had had as the only word to repeat five times before he left.

Now what grammatically correct sentence has 8 repeated words but still makes sense?

I'm waiting for Fyyr to take a stab at it, I think he's got the word.

Well the original post only kinda made sense lol.

So the word is fire somehow?

Ok, going by your hint I looked up "buffalo" in the dictionary and it has a transitive verb sense I never knew about (meaning to bewilder or baffle). And it's a crappy city in New York.

So we could have Buffalo buffalo who buffalo. Or, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. (Buffalo buffalo who are themselves baffled by other Buffalo buffalo, go ahead and baffle other Buffalo buffalo.)

I got the word and the sentence, I can't make it past the 8 though, and for it to still make sense to me.

edit: Tudamorf got it in there, mid my post.

Yeah, it's 8 buffalos!
