My turn, then!

Do you think I could find a catfish that does go "bang" if I multiply an Asian red tail catfish, or any of its close relatives, by two?

That was quick!

That it is!
The key to the clue (multiplying by two) is that "Hemibagrus" means "half Bagrus".

wow i'am stupid now that you explained it to me

Sfamnun · Post by **Sfamnun** » 01 Jun 2012, 20:29

I don't think you're stupid - these riddles are meant to be challenging. I can certainly say that there have been very many riddles in this thread that I haven't even been close to solving!

Ok, so, this homonym needs an education!

Ok, it would help if I didn't get the definition of homonym wrong! Gah.

So, let me redefine my rubbish riddle to be, "this is a big catfish that needs (two) educations....".

Post by **Silurus** » 09 Jul 2013, 22:30

I think you meant tautonym.

YouTube · Post by **Jools** » 10 Jul 2013, 07:46

Yup, that's it. The education being a reference to the film educating Rita.

Might not have been a sterling performance from me, but at least I learned something.

Thanks HH, your turn?

Eh, I suck at this (lucky guess notwithstanding), so I'll pass.

Well, at least you are on hand to correct my mistakes! So, I think it falls to Richard to think up another...
