(the surname does not figure in the answer). So what was the sin of SImon Magus?Tetenterre wrote:Thanks for that, because I was going down a "Iscariot - ...chariot" false trail.

General game-play (but always open to change if participants wish - or if someone has a brilliant idea that s/he fears s/he may forget) is we have one puzzle current, and whoever solves that poses the next one.VINDICATOR wrote: I'm not clever enough to produce more than a single syllable "hen pen", when I think up another one I'll post it here!
actually I would like to change this pattern, partly because it does deter people from joining in with their own puzzles - as you know it took me over two years (of sleepless nights ) to guess your last puzzle, TT. Vinnie, TT and I seem to have tended towards pretty obscure topics since the game began quite a few years ago, so unless TT objects, please do send in whatever you like .

I can see that this will be another two-year job unless you provide a lot more clues. I assume that the word "Reasoning" is not in the answer?Tetenterre wrote:And, assuming that is correct, how about:

No, but you're not a million miles away: "top-down logic" is a description of a particular mode of reasoning - get that adjective, and the whole thing should fall into place.animist wrote:I assume that the word "Reasoning" is not in the answer?

ah, instant enlightenment - I could not see any promising phrase corresponding to "topdown", but I do know the difference between inductive and deductive. So must be: deduction seduction.Tetenterre wrote:OK, another clue: "What's the alternative to inductive reasoning?animist wrote:I can see that this will be another two-year job unless you provide a lot more clues.

no, it's not a recognised cut of meat at all - just a joint in the biological senseTetenterre wrote:Is the leg joint a hock?animist wrote:distinctly omnivorous dish which consists of a flowering wild plant, usually regarded as a weed and usually in fact poisonous though used medicinally, and a hot animal leg joint cooked in hot oil

not much of a help, but the clue should probably be: Hen-Nik-Ken Penniken. What do you call cooking in oil? On the vegetable aspect, the plant, though apparently poisonous, has been used as girl's name which, apart from the letter "y" at the end, sounds like a boy's name, which itself featured in the title of a Monty Python filmanimist wrote:no, it's not a recognised cut of meat at all - just a joint in the biological senseTetenterre wrote:Is the leg joint a hock?animist wrote:distinctly omnivorous dish which consists of a flowering wild plant, usually regarded as a weed and usually in fact poisonous though used medicinally, and a hot animal leg joint cooked in hot oil
