The rules:

1) Puzzles consist of a word or phrase whose letters have been replaced by blanks to be filled in, along with a category/clue to the word/phrase.

2) Rounds consist of a period between puzzle updates by the puzzle creator. Puzzle updates consist in the puzzle creator filling in correctly guessed letters and a list of incorrectly guessed letters. The frequency of puzzle updates is up to the puzzle creator, but should be roughly once a day or so.

3) Each round, anyone may guess a consonant, regardless of whether they have participated in any previous rounds.

4) Each round, the player who correctly guessed the most frequently occurring consonant in the previous round may guess a vowel. In the case of a tie, no one is allowed to guess a vowel.

5) Each round, any player who correctly guessed a letter in the previous round may attempt to solve the puzzle by guessing the word/phrase.

6) Whoever correctly guesses the word/phrase becomes the new puzzle solver!

I think that's basically it!

Continuing the ongoing puzzle from the last thread...

I haven't heard of it but the answer is obvious thanks to Ibby's next letter.

IB could be wrong with the B. But he isn’t and neither is stile86.

You can see this animated short on YouTube. It is only 4 minutes long and very good.

Meanwhile stile86 the next puzzle is yours

Correct!

On 29 November 1967 WRESAT, an Australian developed satellite, was launched from the Woomera rocket range into earth orbit on a Sparta rocket left over from a joint US-UK-Australian research project. The Sparta was based on the American Redstone. This made Australia the seventh nation to operate a home-grown satellite and the third to launch from its own territory (or fourth if you count France which had launched from French Algeria, although they did use their own internally developed Launch vehicle). The other six were Soviet Union, USA, UK, Canada, Italy and France. UK, Canada and Italy were all launched on American rockets from American launch sites.
For a while Woomera was the second busiest launch site in the world, second only to Cape Canaveral.
Space history lesson concluded.

Yay Australia!

you got it! one of the first movies I ever watched, and definitely the first Disney animated one.

I 'fess to having had help on that one. I asked someone for a word with double "t" in the middle, in a two world answer, and they said "It'll be Little Mermaid." I'm impressed. I thought it was going to be "Rotten" something.

"But thoth, how did you ever guess it?" I hear you ask, after I give you a crisp Five Pound Note to do so. Why, it's an assist from Fickles! She had just reviewed an All Star Squadron/ JLA issue. It starts off with some of the Earth-2 heroes giving a fascist salute to Degaton. I wondered if Supes wasn't one of them, because due to how that would look. Supes appears as a JLA member later. Then I get to stile's question, and went to guess S. As I'd just read about Supes, I was going to put "... for Superman" when the phrase hit me. So, reading all the LW threads pays off yet again!

I hated Disney's the Jungle Book, but I did enjoy reading some of Kipling's stories. There was one - I cannot remember the title - but it was humorous, and involved a man getting into crazy antics. And a group of his fellow villagers would show up and yell, "Explain! Explain! Explain!" every time something happened.

Y for Yeller

Ringworld by Larry Niven

Quis has it. I thought someone might get it once the R's were placed. Niven is one of my favourite authors although I think he generally does better either in short stories or in collaborations. "The Mote in God's Eye" with Jerry Pournelle is one of the best first contact books ever written IMO. The "Fleet of Worlds" series with Edward M. Lerner is a terrific dive into Puppeteer society and a great yarn, taking the more out-there concepts that Niven creates and turnign them into a fascinating look at an alien society.

Yes the first name with the double Rs was the clue that gave it to me.

that sounds right!

Yes Quis has it. Quite a momentous event and change in space flight. It's not like where private companies previously built spacecraft to NASA's specification and handed them over to NASA to do the missions. SpaceX did the whole thing, with NASA's approval but they did it all themselves. SpaceX now have (or will once they safely return the astronauts to Earth) the ability to sell seats to orbit to whoever wants them, quite independent of NASA.

Your turn Quis.

For I while I was thinking orbit was profit but the number of letters were wrong.

FOUNDATION'S TRIUMPH BY DAVID BRIN?

Note: I guessed all the words. The only thing I didn't feel sure about was the last name, whether it was "Brin" or "Brun". I chose the former and then Googled my guess as stile allowed.

BTW, it looks like Ibby should have been given credit for and shown another N.

Nice guessing, Lardy.

Just in chase, I will throw out a V (the first letter that came into mind when I saw what was already there)

(Sorry all. Nasty migraine all day yesterday, vomiting, the whole bit so I never logged on.)

Lardy has it. Very good guess and you are right about the missing "N".

Foundation's Triumph is the third book in what is sometimes called the "second Foundation trilogy", rather a misnomer since Asimov's Foundation trilogy was originally several short stories published in magazine form and later gathered in three books, and then he wrote more novels anyway.

Janet Asimov, Isaac's second wife, authorised further sequels to his series and Gregory Benford, Greg Bear and David Brin each wrote one novel. I have enjoyed the Foundation series and his Robot series over the years particularly for its world-building. Not all his writing is that good and I find some of his attitudes unappealing but he can write a good mystery when he puts his mind to it.

The later three books follow on from how Asimov himself united his two series and explore the further consequences of robots, possibly with different interpretations of what is "best" for humanity, guiding civilisation from the background over centuries. If you like the books I recommend these later ones, although perhaps not Benford's "Foundation's Fear" because he has his own style which is not my personal favourite, but Bear's "Foundation and Chaos" and Brin's "Foundation's Triumph" rank with the best of Asimov in my opinion. If anyone is interested in reading through the series I can suggest a reading order (not chronological because some later written books occur earlier in the time line and would be spoilers for later time line books).

Hope you're feeling much better, stile. And no need to apologize at all.

Glad you are feeling better

Good one Lardy.

BTW, I hope using the plural category "Fictional Characters" didn't throw anyone off. It wasn't meant to imply more than one character in the solution.

oh no worries, I always interpreted it as potentially one individual OR a collective

I am glad that I guessed H instead of R

My lack of experience with alcoholic beverages is showing. I strongly suspect that when the answer is given I will have heard of it but at the moment the only answer I can think of doesn't fit unless there are two R's instead of one. Quis's letter is heading that way too.

That's it! I hadn't heard much about Will Rogers in the past but lately I have been really enjoying some of his humorous philosophical quotes like:

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

I thought the one I picked for the puzzle particularly appropriate for the start of the new year especially considering what that year had been like.

Take it away Thoth.

Thanks for that one stile. I'm not familiar with Will Rogers beyond the name. It's always fun to read up.

I'm quite enjoying it so far. I never watched the original but have been a Carl Barks Duck fan for years (the type that has tried to get a copy of every single one of his stories). I knew David Tennant voiced Scrooge so that was a draw and then I saw a brief video review that extolled the series virtues. In particular the approach of letting each nephew have a distinctly different personality while maintaining the trio aspect intrigued me. I am only about 4 episodes in but I am really enjoying it. Webby is a wonderful character as well and I am curious to see how her grandmother Mrs Beakley develops. I told my (adult) son I was enjoying it as he also likes the comics but he didn't want to listen to Donald's animated voice which I have to admit is a downer for me too. I find it ridiculously hard to make out what he is saying and usually don't bother but just pick up the context. I know he has always sounded like that from his first appearance in cartoon shorts but I prefer the more understandable version in the comics. I am glad he is not the focus of the series, at least so far.

yeah, Donald gets quite a bit less screen time in the series... this one really acknowledges that nobody can understand him, there will be a few episodes where his voice becomes a fairly major plot point.

the universe-building in this series is amazing as well. there are overarching arcs and plots.

Both Webby and Mrs. Beakley also get major focus episodes later on, and I adore them both.

and indeed, the triplets will continue to develop individually as well

so you're in for quite a treat!

Bingo! I knew you would get it sooner or later.

I was actually prompted to use this quote by an image someone shared around May the Fourth (be with you). It was a real mashup, featuring an image of Patrick Stewart and the caption - "Use the Force, Harry - Gandalf". Bit of fun crossover of four worlds, and a fifth if you want to add the first X-Men trilogy which starred both Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen who also played Gandalf.

Anyway your turn Ibby.

thank you

Jaipur India (ah! Finally!)

yes! you got it! ding ding

I was there just before the pandemic, late 2019. went to India for a friend's wedding, and decided to explore some areas in the north... landed in Delhi, hopped on over to Chandigarh, then went up to the Himalayas in Ladakh, and ended in Jaipur (was also supposed to do Agra but felt sick that day!)

Jaipur was amazing. great food, Rajasthani style... and some very beautiful old forts and castles.

Sounds like a good trip and interesting place.

Superman and the Mole Men?

That's the one.

It was produced and distributed through movie cinemas to gauge the strength of support for a TV series and so was effectively a pilot for the "Adventures of Superman" with George Reeves.

Also edited into the final two episodes of the first season, IIRC.

Guy Fawkes Day?

You got it!!!

It falls on my birthday, and I always thought it cool to share my birthday with a holiday involving fireworks and bonfires

Fair enough. That is cool. When I was young it was celebrated in Adelaide in South Australia. I still remember all the fireworks from those days. It was banned in the 1970s because of the number of children being injured. We still have a a few days celebrated with fireworks but only licensed professionals are allowed to operate them. I was quite surprised to see fireworks being sold at ordinary stores in Germany around New year.

Banana Split?

You got it!! I used to hate banana splits, but now I love bananas and nuts. I still dislike marshmallows (gasp!) and don't particularly like whipped cream (though that's more for the calories than for its taste)

what made it tricky, I think, is the relative lack of consonants - only 4. and without the I and O, it's just not easy., but the D and especially C really helped, I think

Yes the C gave it away. I kept trying to think of a company starting with DO or DI or DE.

I thought you would once you realised what was going on and the role was a single word.

I could have added another six actors who portrayed the character as a child but thought that was stretching it a bit.

thanks

I actually realized fairly early on, that it was a single role with multiple actors - as soon as I knew which words were AND and AS. just was not sure which role, and if it was a role cutting across different series/media, or maybe 3 actors playing a role of a character who had aged through the story.

SECRET INVASION?

That's the one Lardy.

I only recently read the mini-series and I was a bit disappointed. The setup and idea was terrific and all the publicity and hype around it were well presented, but the story itself I found a bit of a let-down. It wasn't terrible but it felt to me like it squandered the potential. The following outcome of Dark Reign was very interesting, but was that what Osborn did to become the "saviour" of the human race? One shot amongst everyone fighting? Really? I understand Tony Stark's fall from power but it's like if a particular soldier had shot Hitler at the end of WWII and instantly been given the keys to power because he alone "ended" the war. And did they ever follow up on the religious Skrulls angle? Anyway ...

Your turn Lardy.

Yes! That would be Popeye the Sailor Man's dad! I was reminded of him when I caught the last few minutes of Robert Altman's "Popeye" film, which starred Robin Williams in the title role and featured Ray Walston as Poopdeck Pappy. Pappy has appeared in pretty much every iteration of Popeye, so I didn't feel he was too obscure to feature in a puzzle. Maybe "Cartoon Character" would've been more appropriate a category?

I knew him mostly as Pappy. I think the category was fine, I just didn't recall his full name earlier on.

DISCOVERY
OF
NEPTUNE ?

WOW! Well done. I thought that would take you quite a bit longer.

Neptune is unique amongst the major planets in being discovered by mathematical calculation rather than observation. In the mid-19th Century astronomers became aware that Uranus orbit was not what they expected and it was suggested that perhaps the gravity of another body was perturbing its orbit. Independently a French and a British scientist calculated where that body would be and then it was found through telescopes. So its discovery is not given to the first to observe it (looking back it had been observed a number of times but mistaken for a star) but jointly to two mathematicians from different countries.

For a while astronomers also believed that there was a planet inside the orbit of Mercury because Mercury's orbit does not fit exactly with Newton's equations. However this suspected planet, called "Vulcan", never existed and Einstein's General Relativity equations account for the discrepancy.

The more recent suggestion of a "Planet Nine", not Pluto but some other body that has been proposed to explain the orbits of a number of Trans-Neptunian bodies, is still only a theory and we will have to wait to see if it proves out.

Space history lesson concluded. Your turn Ibby.

Thanks

Once I saw the two Ns, it kinda clicked.

appreciate the write-up re how the discovery was made, and impressed at the science and detective work.

ah, a fictional planet Vulcan, cool!

thanks stile, I used to be fascinated by astronomy as a kid, maybe I should rekindle that.

Sunset?

You got it! It is!

Have you been seeing some nice sunsets lately? Can be beautiful. Although I am reminded of a Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown is consulting with Lucy "psychiatrist" and she asks him whether he prefers sunrise or sunset. He hesitantly picks sunset and she goes off on a rant about how it shows he is only interested in endings and is hopeless and she can't help him. Charlie Brown walks off thinking to himself that he always kind of preferred Noon. Wonderful commentary on the dangers of putting people in boxes.

AROUND THE HOME

indeed, and of forcing people to choose only A or only B

Lucy is a great character, but I couldn't be friends with her for long... I always cheered when it was her turn to go rolling on the ground after Charlie Brown or Linus or Snoopy had had enough of her

Have seen a few good sunsets here lately, but not too many. I still have some nice pics of the best sunsets I've seen though, whether in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, the beaches of the Philippines...

You got it. I already did Spock a while ago and Paul Wesley's recent appearances as Kirk made me think of him this time. He does a really good job too, not copying Shatner but portraying a believable younger Lieutenant Kirk.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a terrific show and I think is now my favourite of all the Star Trek series. Wonderful cast and great writing.

Another possible visit on your trip Ibby?

Good deduction, stile

And yes, we got lucky - our flight from Brazil to Mexico has an 8 hour layover on Colombia - enough time to explore Bogotá

a nice bonus addition to our itinerary

How are your travels going?

I was thinking along the lines of Cash or Card, but... let's keep plugging away

C for Cash

just got back last Sunday! It was fun, and I would really recommend Oaxaca, Mexico. amazing food, relaxed vibe, walkable city center. Visitng Mexico City during Dia de Los Muertos is amazing too.

And Rio de Janeiro is definitely worth a visit...

Just two consonants left - and it is pretty hard to travel without this or equivalent (again may be language difference - hope not)

score! now what could it be...

Cape?
Cake?
Cage?
Cane?
Came?
Case?

is ti maybe Case, like suitcase?

Have Case Will Travel?

That's it!

I was thinking of your trip and my first thought was "There's no place like home" but that sounded like a downer on travelling, so then I thought of the current one. I was a little surprised to discover that the second word is fairly interchangeable depending on what you want to say, so I'm glad you figured it out.

Your turn.

awesome, stile, well thought out phrase

thanks for picking a fitting and uplifting one

have definitely heard similar phrases before, but not with Case. I've heard it with "Cash" instead.

I didn't put the word "Festival" as when I Googled, there wasn't any "festival" in the event...

and Wikipedia calls it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper%27s_Hill_Cheese-Rolling_and_Wake

Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake

which I thought was too long and specific

I'd never heard of this before! Rolling just seemed to fit. Amazing fun tradition.

Reminds me a little of something our local scouts group does every Summer, ice-blocking. The scouts make their own big ice blocks (lunch box size or bigger), then sit on them (on a towel) and slide down a steep grassy hill. No race but a lot of fun.

Moomba Birdman Rally?

How did you ever guess?

Yes. Moomba is an annual festival here in Melbourne and one of the more famous parts is the Birdman Rally where various contestants attempt to use various practical and fanciful contraptions to leap/glide the furthest into the Yarra river on which Melbourne sits. All funds raised go to charity and it often includes celebrities and quite spectacular but ridiculous outfits/"gliders".

Baguio Phillipines?

you got it!! pretty "cool" huh?

Cool. I see what you did there. I am not that familiar with your birth country Ibby but I read up about Baguio when I figured it out and learnt how it had been the "summer capital" being higher in altitude to be cooler in the summer. Wonderful that it has been built back so much since the devastation of WWII.
