MoogleViper Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I don't know. Something to do with hormones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendohnut Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 5. They don't practice polyandry, they mate exclusively with one partner. (Incidentally you don't specify which kind of wolf ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I don't know. Something to do with hormones. I'll give you that, it's done by hormonal suppression. 5. They don't practice polyandry, they mate exclusively with one partner. (Incidentally you don't specify which kind of wolf ) No, but the use of the term polyandry suggested I was talking about those that are polyandrous.

jayseven Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 can I suggest for the other questions, grunchie, you give some clues to encourage 'more' attempts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 can I suggest for the other questions, grunchie, you give some clues to encourage 'more' attempts! Yeah, sounds like a plan. Well, number 3 is a cryptic crossword clue, so the answer is two words, the first of 7 letters and the second of 6, and somehow relates to the clue, most likely in two different ways, neither of which is directly related to the clue's actual meaning. As for number 10... first, find out another word for water bear, and then see if you can find a way to see my bookshelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendohnut Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 No, but the use of the term polyandry suggested I was talking about those that are polyandrous. :( to be fair the grey wolf is monogamous, and it could easily have been a trick question! The other one was, so I thought this could be... and also to be fair my answer was correct...for the grey wolf anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I said "How do people speak Hindi?", then "They don't, they only speak English" isn't an acceptable answer, even if it is true for you, or any other person/group of people. This question's analagous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the grey/gray wolf still prevents the other females from mating by doing all of the things I have stated (well sort of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrunch Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Gorrammit, I know the answer. Nicely done I didn't make it up actually, I think it's a really old one. It's brilliant though, so I decided to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrunch Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Okay: 3. Tickets required for loud disapproval of royal skating display. (7,6) "Tickets required" is literally related to the answer. "loud disapproval of royal skating display" is related to a phrase which you can join up to make the answer. The first word is 7 letters, the second 6.
