I got K!!! All on my own too...

It is the beginning of a word, not the end.

Well I haven't gotten the L but I got the B from that page!

or rather one of the red cross corporate sponsor pages... I'm not sure if it is the exact one.

yeah -- I had already got B -- actually figured that one out last night, but forgot to enter it back in today..

The 'A' is strange -- there are several companies that have a similiar letter -- Samsung and Kia for two -- but it doesn't like any of the ones I try that have that font.

Farmgirl
I have left to figure out: A, E, F, i, K, M, N, O(which looks like a toilet seat to me), R and U

I'd also swear I've seen N on the side of an airplane but I can't remember which airline.

There's no way I can do that without giving it entirely away! [Big Grin]

Just think -- Kayla was the "master" of this skill, we always said. I already had a HINT in my post about finding it -- that's why that word is in italics....

Thanks for the other hints -- it always seems so obvious once I realize what it was!

Went to lunch, and when I came back to my desk, I looked at your "U" hint again, and I just immediately understood it! Isn't it weird how the brain works that way? Something that was totally opaque to me before suddenly is crystal clear.

AJ

for the E - think "jewelry"

all I have left now is A, F, i, M, N, O

And some guy here at work has all the answers (I swear he paid for them, but he says he didn't) and he is wanting to tell me the answers. I don't want him to -- hints are okay -- but he won't do just hints..

Well, I've gotten most of them by mooching off your conversation, so I'll help out with some hints.

A - Kia is the right idea, wrong company

i - you've probably got something on your desk made by this company, but it's probably not in the same color scheme

N - It is quite an endeavor to discover the answer to this challenge.

Good clues, Risuena

But I had already given in and asked the guy here who solved it, my last four that I couldn't get.

The one for "A" -- after learning it, I went to their website, but didn't see any time the 'A' was like that in the logo...

Yeah - N was cool. I should have got that.

I would never have, no matter what, ever guessed M on my own. But I don't do alcohol -- so maybe that is why I never heard of that company.

M and N were the ones that frustrated me the most because I should have gotten them easily. I love M, and I've got some sitting in my fridge at home. And with N, my Dad's worked on many projects for them and my family has a long obsession with anything related to it.

I found A's logo at google images, once I had an idea of what I was looking for.

grumble, stupid anesthesia. It must have affected my short term memory. That S was the last one I got before leaving work to have 4 warts removed from my foot. They knocked me out cause the warts were so deep.

I thought the M had to be orange juice, but I've tried Country Time and Minute Maid.

Check out what I said above about 'M' -- I would never had got it because I've never heard it, because it involves alcohol...

AJ,

If you get frustrated and want to get them all figured out before end of day, just send me an e-mail to the address listed in my profile, and I'll let you know the answers to the last of them.

Well we don't keep our alchol in our fridge for the most part. I'm going to give it to Steve before I give up, I think. He may recognize a few. If not I'll definitely e-mail!

Well, if it helps, it's a product that's made in the Boston area and very much associated with Boston.

Do you need/want clues for any of the others?

Well, I went to the website of "M" and it doesn't show the brown background -- it shows it on BLUE background (and it is the middle of the word)

Got E and M from the helpful hints. For E I kept thinking "mall" but there is no way I'm going there in the next couple of days with the chaos!

Well lets go for hints on F, I and O since I already have hints for the others.

[Big Grin] Actually I've had just as much fun composing the hints as i have had trying to figure out the letters!

I know - I've really enjoyed the hints too... I'm sadly proud of the one I gave for N.

But these are the harder ones...

f - they have ridges
i - you always need to have one of their products when taking a test
o - where you go when you need to plaster the neighborhood with flyers

Hope these help

All right hints for A and L?

A is some sort of auto maker, could you give me a geography? I've tried Honda, Kia and Hyundai.

L I'm still clueless and cant find it on that page farmgirl gave me.

You know the M might have come from capture on the TV commercial where they hold up a pint full of beer with the logo on the glass.

I think their plant is in Tennesse (or was). Wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors...

I can't give you a webpage to help with 'L', because the name of it IS the page...

No, don't look at charities..

SEARCH for it on the web, and maybe it will appear on your search page!
