Title: A Puzzle Without A Prize
Post by: burakkucat on September 24, 2011, 11:03:04 PM
Here is something for those members who like to exercise their brains on non-data communication puzzles.

What is the connection between roseway & soms, tuftedduck & renluop, UncleUB & burakkucat, kitz & Accordion and, finally, scottiesmum & Azzaka?

There are no prizes available :no: and I cannot be bribed. :-X

A little hint -- they are all names of members of the Kitz fora, so . . .

I've only just looked in on this little puzzle, and I confess to being as baffled as the others. Your little hint wasn't very hintful. ;D

Hmm, let me continue the sentence from where I previously let it trail away. :-\

. . . perhaps one should call up the list of members and see if you can find an arrangement that displays those names appropriately.

Over a week has passed and no one has made the correct connection, so I guess it is now time to explain.

If one were to call up the list of members (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?action=mlist) it is presented in alphabetical order, by default. However it is possible to sort the member list by number of posts (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0;desc). The first five names seen on the first page are roseway, tuftedduck, UncleUB, kitz and scottiesmum. Now select the second page (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;desc;start=30) and the first five names seen are soms, renluop, burakkucat, Accordion and Azzaka.

QED.  :)

(b*cat now climbs to the top of the tree, well out of range of Smum's baseball bat.  :P  )

A few years on, b*cat unearths this thread and notices that he is now some distance behind but in clear sight of Kitz' tail.  ::)
