Oh you have got to be kidding me. That's the answer? How simple and painfully obvious. I usually go there on weekends. I don't know how I didn't get it. ;D ;D
How do capital letters come in to it? I was in the right part of the world at least, the western hemisphere. ;D Lady B, If I ever come up with a game show I'll call it "So You Wanna Be a Billionaire?" and I will have you write the questions. That way I'm assured that NO ONE will ever stand a change of winning. LOL

Hi Folks, Thank You all very much for the entertaining contest and of course a special big thankyou to Lady Big Guns for organising such an entertainingly mind boggling contest. The challenge was eagerly accepted and it took some time to stumble across the answer. I'm not normally the cryptic type prefering a more logical test, but this particular quest was great fun. I can't quite believe I was lucky enough to get the answer right, I guess I'm just a lucky devil   ;D ;D Now I can munch a delicious ruby in fuchsite rock cake and stare happily at a gorgeous slab of ruby cake! Excellent! Thanks Maam!! I think the trick was to split the clue up completely, I found the answer after much quizzing and a sudden new tangent appearead when I split the names. Can't wait for the next challenge Lady B!!! Congratulations to all who entered and survived intact! The challenge was certainly a mind twister and I know how much anguish I felt before I cracked it, so a big round of applause all round, thanks guys! Thanks Lady Big Guns! Sorry I got your "unsolvable" clue!   ;D It was great fun and I'm really chuffed I "made the grade" Thanks again Maam! ;D ;D ;D Thanks Guys - See you at the next one! ;D Cheers, Harry. |

Hiya Folks! When I realised that LadyB was running a competition I was really excited. That was until I saw the question I hadn’t bargined on such a tough challenge! As we all know it was a phenomenal success for our wondrous hostess, with all the competitors going through extraordinary mental anguish trying to fathom out the links in the clue. Indeed it appears that the connections were clearly established by a cerebral genius, whose astute and insightful wisdom, wrought associations so cunning as to be almost bordering on madness! Well folks, when the package appeared last Wednesday I was honored to receive a “token” for all the fun and games we had all enjoyed, and very eager to see what would await inside. I was in for a shock! I was utterly flabbergasted when I opened it up! Enclosed in a carefully packaged bubble and corrugated card construction was an amazing slab, which made me smile so much my cheeks hurt!! Thank You Soooo Much LadyBeabea!!!! I was blown away by the beauty of this slab when I gave it a touch of water and made it wet, the rubies just leap out from the mottled green halos and seem to sparkle in an entrancing manner. What a fantastic stone!!! - I’m now going to have to invest in some serious polishing kit to do this piece any form of “justice”. Thanks Once More For Everything Lady Beabea - You and Your Competitions Rock!!! It was nothing but a total joy to participate in this wonderful contest, and to be honored with such a wonderful prize was really special. Thanks again for giving us all such a fabulous event!!! Cheers, Harry. |

OH NO, Harry!!! You're supposed to lick the rocks not bite them!!!
Well you sure do make it look yummy.
Hmmm...maybe Bob and I will have to try some of the slabs we still have for dessert tonight!!
I'm so glad you really enjoyed your prize! ;D

Haha, that was a good one Harry! And the technical achievement even better, that "bite" even has a 3d effect! You're good in drawing on PC!
