5D: bodega-buying empty(bg) bottles around drug-e party-do in retreat(ode), (bodeg) by academy(a)
ReplyDeleteNot correct , I think
ReplyDeleteIt is correct.
ReplyDeleteThe way it is written is a little confusing (without commas/ spaces)
DeleteB( ODE<=)G A
BG bottles EDO (in retreat) followed by A.
Paddy sir the word drug denoted as "around". can we say over E*
DeleteBG enclosing/ around ODE
DeleteDrug is E
Deletemy point is around E. will be reversal indicator????? can we say over E
DeleteIn my opinion it is drug AND party together around which is <ode. May be and given by setter would have given better clarity.
DeleteSathia
Correct. Drug=E, Party= Do
DeleteReversal- EDO becomes ODE
Buying empty= BG
B(ODE)G A
5D – {B{OD}<={E*}G}{A}
DeleteDef – Wine
Buying – (B----G) empty
Party – DO – retreat – OD
around Drug – over E*
Academy – A
BODEGA – a small Hispanic shop selling wine
Prasanna
DeleteLook at the sequence.
around is applied only to E then itakes BG over E BEG. Party in retreat Do<=
Which becomes begod!!!?
Around is like that mathematical bracket. We need to arrive at what to put in those brackets for reaching solution.
you mean to say Bracket of E to be removed????? then the reversal applicable for E also???
DeleteEDO becomes ODE.
DeletePl.see my comment @ 12.12.
Thank you got it.....sir
DeleteI am sorry. My solution was BODESA. BS from empty bottles. It is empty BUYING. I stand corrected
ReplyDeleteTough one from Karaoke. Couldn't get 2d.
