so what might extra lubricating mean? and what would sound like that? I wonder how many people are staring and watching this thread for any further developements. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
Hmm... did we just miss a clue? "sounds like" (it's in italics in the post, but quoting makes everything in italics) Edit: sorry for the double post
--exiting standby-- Wow - That little nap helped me remember something... ... I remembered that the prize for solving this particular puzzle is a US$10 US app store gift certificate!!! Well that's enough excitement for me... I'm going to have to go into standby again... Good Luck! I hope you guys can work this one out... I really need the fuel! --entering standby--
Hmm, extra lubricating ... Smooth? Slick? Or what about just Lube? I wonder if everything really does have to end with "oil".
--exiting standby-- Hmm... I'm really running low on oil now... ... speaking of oil, I once knew a robot from the Bronx - his name was OIL... ... At least I thought he said his name was OIL... He had a really thick accent! ... I found out years later that his name was actually EARL! Ha! Ha! Good ole EARL! He was a real character! I'm sure he could solve this puzzle... Ah... memories! Well... better conserve energy... Good luck everyone! --entering standby--
If you look at the "sounds like" part, I'm guess it means that some of the words don't exactly have "oil" in them. Which makes it that much more complicated.
I think you're right. 'Early' has to be the word for #6. So is #5 'Curl' or 'Curly' ? Or maybe that's Earl Maybe #4 is from another 'world' And the bee 'twirls' into the pot. ??

Password: ROBOOILORDER_MEM_RECOVER_19 I should be selfless and not claim $10, but I might need it to buy hoverworld when it comes out. So I will take the $10 gift. (unless of course this is the last contest and it vaults me to the number 1 position, meaing I win the grand prize!?!) 4-toil - (toilet - et) - SOMETHING FOR THE HARD-WORKING ROBOT 5-boils (pretty self explanitory) - SOMETHING DISGUSTING 6- grease (pompadour, greaser, looks like something coming off the comb, in a wiki somewhere noticed that pomador or something close was slang for grease and dealt with hair styling) - JUST SOMETHING STYLISH 7-oilyoil - (this one was definitely tough but, I finally stumbled across what extra might mean, by taking it to mean the two birds and tried things along earlybirdnightowl and various combinations until i paired it down to just the words) -SOMETHING SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE EXTRA-LUBRICATING 8- yummyoil - ( dummy - d + y +(boil -b)) - SOMETHING TASTY very good brain storming everyone. wow, my brain is fried
Thats why its called brain storming. So I was trying to figure out, who I felt had the best input and helped the most. Looking back thru the posts I would have to nominate you cjsbug at least for honorable mention. (notice I edited my post after you grabbed a copy to present my case for getting the grand prize)
You definitely earned it, but thanks for the mention I'm still cracking up that "yummy oil" was actually one of the answers. It sounded so ridiculous
