ANOTHER PUZZLE
Fourteen beautiful young women have been brought to the vast, razor-wire protected complex in remotest Northamptonshire which locals think is a secret American base, and which the Americans think is Rupert Murdoch's holiday hideout, but which the illuminati know as Castle Barretthunter.
They are to be punished for having, in public and without a license, beautiful bottoms. The Head Buyer has noted on his laptop brief details about each girl together with the colour of her panties and the nature of the implement with which she is to be thrashed. However, the file has been corrupted and the information jumbled.
Fortunately, the brief notes about the interests and behaviour of each girl give clues as to the implements to be used and the colour of her last protection. For example, if one girl was Miranda the Meteorologist, the note "Deferent like a young deer; holds explosives", this might indicate that her panties were fawn (to fawn, and a young deer is a faun) and she was to be punished with a (rolled-up) magazine (a word for an explosives store). Fortunately too, the lists of implements and colours are available, just jumbled up.
So here is the list of victims and the notes correctly appended to each:
PENNY THE POLICEWOMAN: Likes flowers, has a sweet tooth TESS THE TEACHER: Instructs in Caucasian culture SUE THE SCHOOLGIRL: Is mutinous, nautical and liberal in America NATALIE THE NURSE: Has an imperial arse and goes boating STELLA THE STUDENT: Moves second; needs to keep her jeans up BRIDGET THE BRIDE: Likes bondage and heads for old men as tops TRINNY THE TRAFFIC WARDEN: Hangs about in caves and is an open book ANTHEA THE ATHLETE: Gets into storms and is cast up on a desert island TERESA THE TENNIS PLAYER: Got on to the wrong coach and is stuck JUDY THE JOURNALIST: Likes water but can't swim and likes pot SOPHIE THE SOCIAL WORKER: Went to Cambridge and believes in political discipline ANNA THE AIR HOSTESS: Likes tropical paradises and is mildly left-wing SALLY THE SECRETARY: Is queenly but not very brave GINNY THE GYMNAST: Rides a bike and comes last.
Now here is the list of implements:
PADDLE PADDLE CANE CANE TRAINER (ie, gymshoe to some) TRAINER WHIP WOODEN SPOON BATON BAT (table tennis) BELT STRAP RULER PALM (of the hand).
Thus paddle, cane and trainer will each be used on two of our girls and the rest on one.
And here is the list of panty-colours:
BLACK BLACK WHITE WHITE PINK PINK NAVY BLUE LIGHT BLUE GREEN YELLOW RED MAROON AMBER PURPLE.
Thus each of the first three colour features twice and the rest once.
So for each girl, what colour panties is she wearing and what will she be thrashed with?
The clues may involve approximate puns, or completely different meanings of identically-spelt words, or something associated with the colour or implement. Unfortunately a lot of implications of colours are culture-specific: for example, white is the colour of virginity, weddings and purity in the West, but the colour of death and funerals in parts of the Far East. Where I've used something that's culture-specific, I've tried to make sure it's widely known or easily found on the internet.
So – go to it, brave adventurers! I THINK THIS TIME I'LL ASK YOU NOT TO POST SOLUTIONS BEFORE, SAY, 12TH JANUARY SO THE GAME DOESN'T END WHEN ONE PERSON GETS IT.
It's probably easier than it sounds, and you can get some of the answers without getting them all. Secret co-operation is permitted.
