My contests are definitely more friendly than Sherlockx's because mine are "humanity touched" by andree...

But Guy you know I am not human & I just pop over to this part of the multiverse for a visit and a laugh.

This might help people. But thats still a lot of reading.

Oh dear, no one has any inspiration.
I am struggling to think of clues.
A fairly simple google search with 2 words in it would give a result.

Oh dear, no one has any inspiration.

Please keep in mind we are having few visitors on the site for the moment, Sherlockx. Don't give away your clues to fast...

[Guy1731]

Nah stretch your imagination

Guy's mind has made the link . he has got it exactly right!

now all you have to do is create a golf course up there i.e. Make the links.

But to give you another clue in Guy 1731 fashion get some help from the group that sung this.

That is a song from the Carpenters...

Hum,... googling the words: carpenter wood chain" give me the stunning result of a wooden chain:



It's the only explanation I can find...

WOW! Is that a solution, Sherlockx? Could it be you made a wooden chain on your hoodoo? Can that be strong enough to hold a man?

Guy1731

[sherlockx]

Oh yes Guy that is right but only half the answer.
You have 10 lengths of wood 10 metres long so how do you get 300 metres of chain out of them?

Can that be strong enough to hold a man?

Yes that is why I specified the type of wood, the same sort that was/is used in building aircraft frames if you go back in time to the days of the sopwith camel,spitfire,mustang etc.

Also how do you join the lengths of chain?

The current World record is 36.2 metres from a single length of wood by Karl Ruscha

Does the Pocket PC have phone capabilities? If it does, you could call for help.

[sherlockx]

The last time I was in the Sahara I did not see many phone masts & line of sight for a phone signal is about 20 k

Hum,... a little to technical for me to explain, but I think from 10 meter wood you can make 30 meter chain. It's a carpenter job but it has to do with the shape of the links, making them in one direction and then using them in another direction. As they are rectangular the length changes...

(Like I said, much to technical... )

OMG one of the dream team says

Hum,... a little to technical for me
Like I said, much too technical...

I am going to put that as my wallpaper
