*sobbing, barely able to type*
thanks for the words of cheer, annastrophic... as my final act before the benevolent Dr. K initiated the Pavulon drip, i checked the postings. imagine my delight to see that i'm not the only one surprised by the outcome (incidentally, i sent my guess at 5:57am on Tuesday... what time does this Tracy person wake up, for pete's sake??)
so now, my departure carries arguably more noble Housemanesque nuances <rests fleet foot on windowsill for emphasis>

bridget96,
Perhaps she spotted what the words had in common on Day 1, with only the word "dekko" to go by?
If that's the case, she'd no doubt excel at this maths puzzle, which has only one correct answer, of course...
Q. Provide the next four numbers in the following series:
3 , _ , _ , _ , _

LMAO marty!!
I emailed her tonight out of curiosity and got the following reply:
"Thanks for the congratulations. There goes a little chunk of my 15
minutes of fame.
I actually did guess after only one word. The statement "there is a
definite property that a word has to fulfill" was a clue that the theme
was related to the word itself rather than the meaning of the word, and
the first interesting and unusual property that came to mind seemed to
fit, so I guessed it.
I don't get up earlier than you--but I'm guessing I go to bed later!"
*still chuckling over that puzzle*

btw, how do you quote from someone's previous posting? i tried to cut and paste earlier, but the absence of the lovely cerulean shade to distinguish my interpolation made me even less intelligible than usual.
