    Hooters, Boobs, Mamms, Rack, Udders, Yahooblies, Shirtpotatos, Tits. Darcy’s right!

    Now you have to sleep with him.

    In fairness he did not tell me.

    DD – looks like the moment has passed . There was I ready to splash out on a bottle of fine German wine as well 🙂

    Anyone else able to help?

    Im assuming its some kind of general knowledge test thing, like 7 DIAW = 7 “days in a week”?

    If the letters are sequential on purpose then they must represent either a list of items that are normally ranked (say, worlds tallest peaks or planets of the solar system listed in order of distance from the sun) or they are initials of words that are sequential in time or usage, say Kings of England (time) or Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain (usage).

    It wont be a “group” of words with no natural order. (unless you have mistakenly said “sequence” instead of “which one is missing”)

    But ATM I cant think of the answer, so Im no sodding use at all, sorry 😉

    Thanks Stoner – I think 😀

    Looking for the next letter. Need to re-read the question as to get exact wording

    Where have you got it from? Context might (or might not) help.

    I’d made the same assumption as Stoner, can’t immediately see anything I recognise though.

    It was the weekly question posed by my girls school letter.

    It is a next letter in sequence question.

    Struggling to see any pattern though

    A colleague of mine had the same question posed by his daughter & she was stumped by it as well. He never got back with the answer, maybe he couldn’t figure it out either.

    Have you tried a character shift cipher?

    first thing I did on Excel, natch. Although I didnt work it through to any great depth….

    I really do not think it will be anything other than English.

    Really did not expect it to stump the STW collective 😕

    I was thinking they might be the initial letters of some kind of sequence. Like I dunno, sizes of champagne bottle or something, but that’s too obscure for school.

    Time to break out the big guns. I will ask my Dad.

    I reckon it’s something specific to the school or area

    I was thinking that too uplink.

    H M W ? In the case of my school would be D

    School houses – Harley, Mortimer, Wigmore and Dunne.

    Who sent it home? From what lesson? What have they been studying?

    I’ve had girlfriends called Hannah, Bridget, Mahsa, Rachel, Ursala, Yasmin, Suzi – and expect the next to begin with T

    Is T the answer?

    Best we can find is that there’s a Dr. H.B.M Ruys

    Ms Spoon suggests M.D.?

    My guess would be D but my logic for this is poor at best.
    When do you find out the answers?

    My guess would be D but my logic for this is poor at best.

    Is that the repeated -6? I thought that as well, but figured the answer had to make more sense then that.

    JohnnyPanic

    It’s the repeated +11 after the second -6. Seems unlikely.

    i’d look for country orders, given the u and y, look for oders with uruguay and yugoslavia

    Yeah, I was just thinking along similar lines, thanks to the Eurovision being on….

    or Uganda and Yemen

    I think we’re missing information.

    Given that it’s from a school and therefore shouldn’t be too difficult, yet it’s legged up the Internet Authority On Everything forum, I’d hazard that either it’s referring back to some lesson your kid’s had that she’s not told you about or it’s specific to the school / area somehow.

    Reminds me of Red Dwarf:

    H: Oi. What’s happening dudes ?

    L: Hi Hol.

    H: Guess what ?

    R: What ?

    H: Go on, have a guess.

    R: What is it vaguely about ?

    H: No clues, just have a guess.

    Rimmer and Lister look exasperated. Lister covers his face.

    H: I knew you wouldn’t get it.
