Help me with GISHWHES
So Gishwhes starts in 2.5hrs and (as per form) I have no idea what I'll be randomly asking people if they can help with. However I know I'm going to be annoying, so I started my own thread.
Keep your eyes on here for me begging as the week progresses. : D

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
None of the Americans live in any of the early-primary states, so we won't be seeing them anytime soon.

Um I'm going to be in New York in a few days, but I don't follow the movements of either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
I don't remember if you've said, but is this your first time visiting the US?
I've never been to NYC outside of the airports.
Kimra, could that latest clue be an anagram of something?

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
How about this? I'm after four digits from the middle of a phone number:
HINT: The color of the missing digits are “new to this earth,” has been a crook and a parson at one time in a game, and is pregnant with hsurPhosop.

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
"Crook and a parson" sounds like Clue (the board game) and could refer to the Reverend Mr. Green. "New to this earth" sounds like indigo, one of the rarest and last dyes to be synthesized. I have no idea what these have to do with numbers.Kimra wrote:How about this? I'm after four digits from the middle of a phone number:

EDIT: Also, hsurPhosop is an anagram of Phosphorus, which is often known by its colour, for instance, white (or yellow), red, violet or black
EDIT 2: could be "red phosphorus" as that is the amorphous allotrope of phosphorus, and does not have a repetitive crystalline structure (and hence, is out of order)

I'm going to be visiting my brother in NY and then Epoch's brother and his wife in Portland, Oregon, and then a quick two nights in San Francisco to see my Mum's cousin, his wife and daughter.

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
Guessing the atomic number of phosphorous would be too simplistic. Or its date of discovery.
I've only been to San Fransisco out of all of those. I recommend the original Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. There's an amazing chocolate shoppe there where you get to see the chocolate being made, buy every chocolate product they make, and they've got these over-the-top ice cream sundae-things. Delicious. A lot of American chocolatiers use the Hershey process that gives its chocolate the vomit taste that Americans love and non-Americans hate.* No idea if Ghirardelli is one of those or not.
Ride a trolly. Go to the super wiggly road up/down the steep hill. Alcatraz? Do acid. Don't forget to tip.**
*Cadbury is way too sweet for me. I think I tried chocolate all of twice when I was in Australia.
**You honestly might get poor service at some places used to foreigners (esp. Australians) not tipping. I dunno if this is something you've read about on travel blogs/news sites or not.

The problem is I need exactly four numbers. So so far I'm at a loss.DonRetrasado wrote:"Crook and a parson" sounds like Clue (the board game) and could refer to the Reverend Mr. Green.

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
Yes I am very aware of the whole necessary tipping thing in America, so I have a tipping calculator app on my phone and will try to not be a shit person with regards to that. I'm still going to find it confusing though...Liriodendron_fagotti wrote:Don't forget to tip.**

Re: Help me with GISHWHES
I still need someone to run into Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump. Anyone know any family who is near said people? (It's worth heaps of points so I'm asking again.)
The task is to get a photo with one of them, with them putting their thumb up, and you putting your thumb down.
