Puzzlebrains

Puzzlebrains is 15(!) years old. This is ridiculous and somehow impressive all at the same time.

(In passing, it is exactly the same age as my cat. Almost to the week. Which is obviously not a coincidence.)

We're back.
If you have problems accessing the puzzles, drop me a PM.

Yes, it is in caps.

(edit: lovely out-of-context top-of-the-page post again!)

NUT (9,11)

I already said I never read solutions...

Anyway, I suspect that this one is your WINERY FINERY.

The point was that "For every boat in the Americas" was in itself a clue to the word Peru. Therefore it was a Peru Clue.

(I can hear the whaling and gnashing of teeth from here. Oh, wait...)

I Never Read Solutions?

Indeed. I was mildly amused when I thought of it, but was then (as usual) surprised at how tricky it actually was to see the answer.

But I've always resented when I'm told to do myself what I've advised others I reckon they should do.

Don't we all? Your turn.

The Ps are wrong, but the WY is correct.

I'm pretty sure it's a phrase you know.

None of the W guesses are correct.

Oh, so near.
What would "for every / boat = per / U" actually indicate? Especially around here?

Only talk in questions?

Following on from my other one, get them to point at something that clearly isn't what they are talking about.

Nod your head when you say "no", and shake your head when you say "yes". (Actually, this is probably too difficult!)

Insert comment about how this is true of every puzzle ever.

That's very good. Nowhere near right but very good.

Somewhat easier (or not!):

For every boat in the Americas (4,4)

I'm tempted to offer MBWBSAB now.
