I must be weird because I thought of a CUCUMBER instead of the carrot in the first exercise.

There is always 10% that don't get the word.

The exercise is definitely baffling. Wonder what the psychology behind that is.

On the second one, I knew about the trick and still managed to come up short. Guess I won't be looking down my nose at anyone in the near future!

I just noticed that you are from Willamette Valley....that must be awesome. 95% of the Pinot Noirs I drink come from that region, I can safely assume that it's the best Pinot in the world. I'm not just basing that on drinking a bottle here and there....I usually have a bottle of wine at least once a week. I love fine wine.
