I have only saw two clues to this sound the one about" Where the clues appear are....This scroller could carrie valuable info.", and the one about Could Henry or George know the answer. Is that all the clues for this sound. I have read through the posts here and don't know what # sound is being posted about because the thread is discussing all the sounds.
Was there a clue about an ALLEN'S COMPANY for this sound or was it for an old sound. Thanks for posting I wish someone would guess this. Maybe the next sound we can start a new thread just for the sound for that game and list all clues and guesses with the dates

I have been here on and off,wondering where all you all went to. I wish everyone would start posting again it was a good thread for awhile. Any replies for todays guesses. I am still trying to figure out if its in the kitchen sounds like a couple of things but can't get it worded right.I recieved a few close guesses and a WOW one that was in the kitchen.

Are you saying that when they replied to your guess of something in the kitchen, they said "Wow, that was close!" or something like that? That would kinda help us out if it's a sound from something in the kitchen.

It usually takes them a day or two to respond to your answer if you got it wrong, etc. Make sure you check your spam email too since that's where I usually get mine.

Sometimes, there is a delay (12-24hr) between the time your guess is posted online and the time you receive an email, so it's usually better to check online.

They need to either release more clues, get a NEW sound, or raise that $2000 prize! This is absurd.

I found this passage while researching the names henry and george:

The red, red herring
Royal libertarians are fond of confusing the classical liberal concept of common land ownership, particularly as espoused by land value tax advocate Henry George, with socialism. Yet socialists have always been contemptuous of George and of the distinction between land monopoly and capital monopolies. However, Frank Chodorov and Albert J. Nock (the original editors of The Freeman) were both advocates of George's economic remedies as well as lovers of individual liberty.

The only reformer abroad in the world in my time who interested me in the least was Henry George, because his project did not contemplate prescription, but, on the contrary, would reduce it to almost zero. He was the only one of the lot who believed in freedom, or (as far as I could see) had any approximation to an intelligent idea of what freedom is, and of the economic prerequisites to attaining it....One is immensely tickled to see how things are coming out nowadays with reference to his doctrine, for George was in fact the best friend the capitalist ever had. He built up the most complete and most impregnable defense of the rights of capital that was ever constructed, and if the capitalists of his day had had sense enough to dig in behind it, their successors would not now be squirming under the merciless exactions which collectivism is laying on them, and which George would have no scruples whatever about describing as sheer highwaymanry.

--Albert J. Nock "Thoughts on Utopia"


I'm thinking maybe that clue was a "red herring"?

Looks like someone won. The answer was: "dropping a ruler into a desk tidy"

The clip sounds nothing like that, but I guess the clues refer to it.
Inchesnuts: INCHES
George and Henry were: RULERS
Armoire and Davenport: DESKS

I had the inches clue part down but couldn't figure out what to do with it. Knew about the desk clue too, but couldn't narrow down George and Henry. Oh well, let's hope a new sound is there soon.

I never would've guessed that though. I wasn't even sure what a "desk tidy" was until I looked it up :lol:

I just got a response and it said "TWO PEOPLE CLOSE", rather than three. So I guess it says that for everyone rather than for just the people who actually get close. I saw, "In regard to your guess:" and thought, 'Whoa I'm close?!'
