I received 2 or more entries with a common theme, but I decided that since the the themed entries were sufficiently distinct from each other and the real answer, and that the total number of entries was fairly low, I would publish them as received. 1 - An Indian tassled umbrella popular among East India British in the early 1910's. 2 - A deck located in a ship's stern which is smaller and shorter than the main poop deck. 3 - Another name for a filibusterer, particularly one who employs euphuism. 4 - A tassel or other appendage on the end of a hood. 5 - The path that a ball makes down a nearly vertical incline. 6 - [Brit] a blockhead, nincompoop. 7 - The restricted headroom under the topmost deck of a man-of-war (circa 1800). 8 - The unit of currency of Tunisia. 9 - A railing around the poop deck. 10 - A short wooden flute from Trinidad with three finger-holes. 11 - A person who is careless and free with his money; spendthrift. 12 - A woman of loose morals, a courtesan. Answers as posts by 9:00 Friday Morning British Summer Time. (8:00 GMT, 03:00 Eastern Time). I then hope to get the results and new challenge up by Friday lunchtime. Good Luck, Rod (Even I can't make up my mind and I supposedly know the right answer) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: liripoop - HW#11 is open #36389 07/24/01 02:48 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,289 B Bobyoungbalt veteran Bobyoungbalt veteran B Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,289 OK, someone has to start, so I shall go with no. 10 since I find it hard to believe any of the others could be it.

That couldn't be it. Don't Trinidadians have five fingers? I think I'll go with the one that has extra appendages, not missing ones. Yep, chalk me up for number 4.
