April 3, 201214 yr ABOLISH I know that can't be it, but I'm absolutely out of options. I've proved beyond a doubt what some of the letters have to be, and I can't make a single word.
April 3, 201214 yr Biology (0,4,3) Zymurgy (0,0,7) Logical (0,4,3) Cologne (0,2,5) Learning (1,2,5) Science (1,1,5) Bigelow (0,4,3) Albinos (0,6,1) Abolish (0,6,1) You've got all the letters but one, go back to the hint. If you give up, I can give you a major giveaway hint.
April 3, 201214 yr According to my logic, something's wrong :-/ Let me work it out again. Correct letters: A, L, B, I, O, and S. Looking at all the ones where nothing is in the right place, I'm taking out the spots where letters don't work: Biology (0,4,3) Logical (0,4,3) Cologne (0,2,5) Bigelow (0,4,3) Albinos (0,6,1) Abolish (0,6,1) _ A A A A _ A _ _ _ _ _ L _ _ _ _ B B B B I _ I _ _ I I O _ _ _ _ _ O S S S S S _ _ So at this point, we know that L is the penultimate letter, so I'll take that spot out for everything else. _ _ _ _ _ L _ _ A A A A _ A _ _ _ B B _ B I _ I _ _ _ I O _ _ _ _ _ O S S S S S _ _ So now I move on to looking at the other two words left: Learning (1,2,5) <--It's an eight letter word, so it's a little awkward. But I'm looking at it as well as I can. Since I know where L is, the L can't be the correct letter. If the I were the correct one, it would either be the third to last or the sixth letter, depending on how you said that one of them was correct. Either way, all those spots are gone, so no matter how you look at it, the I can't be right. That means the A has to be the right one. So the A is correct--and it's the third letter. That means that the only spots open for I now are the first letter and the last letter. Same with the letter O, so it either starts with an O and ends with an I, or the other way around. That means the first letter can't be S. Science (1,1,5) ...But according to this, the first letter has to be S, since the I is definitely not the third slot. A paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox...
April 3, 201214 yr I made a mistake on the last word..:$ sorry :( Abolish (1,5,1) You're on the right track, just fix the probability for I and you're set.
April 3, 201214 yr No I don't, because I still have to figure out what the heck the word is :-P BIOLABS
April 3, 201214 yr Biology (0,4,3) Zymurgy (0,0,7) Logical (0,4,3) Cologne (0,2,5) Learning (1,2,5) Science (1,1,5) Bigelow (0,4,3) Albinos (0,6,1) Abolish (1,5,1) biolabs (0,6,1) Do you want that extra hint? Either a major theme hint, or I give away the last letter.
April 3, 201214 yr Well, the problem is that I'm pretty sure I just don't know whatever the word is. So right now I'm going to guess OBELISK and see what lands in the right spots.

April 4, 201214 yr Well, that would explain why I've never heard of whatever it is...is it a stationery brand that's found in Massachusetts? EDIT: I think I've figured it out...it's STABILO, right? I've never heard of it; I just did some thorough research and discovered it's not even distributed within 3,000 miles of me. :-/ It's really hard to solve one of these things when someone uses something that's not a real word.
April 4, 201214 yr Yup, its stabilo. Sorry :P i figured it was fine since people used pokemon words etc. I know its a pretty well known company and i was using my highlighters when i was trying to think of a word. Your turn :D
