Okay, figured that out and now I can get ready to go to church.Q: Think of a well-known category with exactly seven things in it. Alphabetize the things from their ending letters, and the last letter alphabetically will be "e." In other words, no thing in this category ends in a letter after "e" in the alphabet. It's a category and set of seven things that everyone knows. What is it?
My hint was going to "mass" as in "land mass".
A: The seven continents (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America)
Here's my standard reminder... don't post the answer or any hints that could lead directly to the answer (e.g. via a chain of thought, or an internet search) before the deadline of Thursday at 3pm ET. If you know the answer, click the link and submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
ReplyDeleteYou may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't give the answer away. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the Thursday deadline. Thank you.

As for the answer mentioned above, it is one on which Word Woman has an advantage for the second time in a month.

ReplyDeleteSurprisingly easy this week. I guess it is another census check.
ReplyDeleteI have an answer that seems so trivial that I cannot believe it is Mr. Shortz's intended. But it is one he must accept. I believe. When two of the members of this septet are merged, as they sometimes are, all six members end with the same letter.

Interesting. The technical names of the 7 items in the category are NOT the 7 items that most people would normally think about. But the 7 items still nevertheless meet Will's criteria that none ends in letter after "e".
DeleteThat may be why WS asked for the "category" or "set" and not the items in that category. The question is "It's a category and set of seven things that everyone knows. What is it?" Not the items in the category or "What are they?"
Be careful submitting your answer. If you list the items as opposed to the category/set, Wikipedia may disagree with you.

DeleteI would say the answer should be North America, South America, Africa, Antarctica, Euroasia (same tectonic plate). Don't forget Australia. Don't forget Zealandia (diff. tectonic plate from Australia)

DeleteAnd, despite Trump's claim to support XII, the articles of the U.S. constitution.
DeleteNine circles of Hell. So many excellent choices, I think I'd need a multi-tiered unit.
DeleteI wasn't going to mention it, but since PC did -- the 'sisters' all end in 'e', according to my source. [I sure don't want to get into a dispute with WW over this one.]
DeleteI wonder how much trouble I'll get into with 'Dr. Prentice'?
Seven fact-checkers for a distracted poster. I must have been thinking about that Star Trek: Voyager character with all this seven for nine confusion.
DeletePaul: I must be looking at a different list than you, because one sister ends in "o" which I thought disqualified it. I had already eliminated several items that I found technically satisfied the puzzle (short of the "well-known" constraint). Just call me the 53rd mis-speaker of the house with all these mental Boehners.
DeleteIf I am on the same wavelength as Paul, he is thinking of the Seven Sisters colleges, which all end in 'e,' as in Smith College, Wellesley College, etc.
DeleteAh, that's fine, then. I already ran across a number of seven-item lists that all ended in the same letter due to all ending with the same word. I consider those trivial.
DeleteIndeed. I was thinking of WW's Sisters. Those other ones did not occur to me, although they should have, because I suspect they're the basis for the collegiate nickname.
DeleteI agree about the triviality; that's why I (almost) didn't mention it.
I may be getting too old to play these kinds of games.
Ooh, WW, a pang of nostalgia...I went to Smith for my first semester, but hated it, and transferred out. I feel a bit more, well, kindly now. (Have I mentioned this before? Did you go there also, WW?)

ReplyDeleteI started to impulsively add to this comment, but I will let the moment pass.
DeleteI believe we were recently talking about the diamond, Moh or less?
ReplyDeleteIf less, you'd be at risk of rubying someone the wrong way.
DeleteYes, but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
DeleteO, pals, smaller, less obvious carats are welcome here at Blaine's.
DeleteYou've opened agate here; I'm too jaded to gypsum retorts in as I'm sure I'd be feldspar-ing with you.
DeletePerhaps you could Moh-sey over to a nearby Cal cite to whet your Apatite for a few Quartz of Orthoclase Beer.
DeletePeace Out (To Paz) and Talc to you later!
When I Google 'Orthoclase Beer' I get a bunch of frosted steins, and then I look at the picture to the left of Word Woman ... and suddenly it all makes sense.
DeleteWhat's even funnier, Paul, is that I just made up Orthoclase Beer (for 6 on Moh's Hardness Scale) because I thought it sounded cool, frosty even.
DeleteDidn't take me long to figure this one out, although it wasn't the first category that came to mind. However, the answer shares a factual characteristic with another category of seven items in the same broader category....as well as one of an interpretive nature.
ReplyDeletebroader category -- 15 letters!
Deleteinterpretive nature -- 18
but,
interpret nature -- 15!
got your ears on, pjb?
The names of six of the seven continents end in the same letter (A), save for Europe.
DeleteMy other category with the same characteristic is the Seven Seas, all of which end in "C" save for "Indian". Both are in the broader category of geography.
The interpretive characteristic they share is they're both difficult to alphabetize. Do you alphabetize on the first letter or work backwards from the last letter?
Think of a well-known category of seven items. Alphabetize the items from their ending letters, and the first letter alphabetically will be "h." It's a category and set of seven items that everyone knows. In fact, we encounter this category every day. What is it? Hint: the first shall be the last.
ReplyDeleteThe category is months with 31 days: March, December, October, August, May, July, and January. The first shall be the last refers to January, the first month of the year, but last alphabetically if you alphabetize on last letters, then next to last letters, etc.
DeletePeople, I can almost assure you that the answer I have found is the right one. Particularly after perusing the list PC rattled off earlier, I noticed the category I chose was NOT mentioned! Make of it what you will, it is after all a free country(and more than likely a smaller part of something much bigger, no?).
ReplyDeleteWell, most likely the answer you have is the one most of the rest of us have. Doesn't mean it's right, though.

Yes, it has nothing to do with science, and yes, "lucrative hierarchy" is extremely lame. "When in doubt, utter nonsense."
I refer everyone to this NPR puzzle from 2002.
DeleteEveryone who counts.
ReplyDeleteThey are the (seven) epochs of the Cenozoic Era, (the category).
ReplyDeleteThey all end in "e" with Pleistocene the last alphabetically.
They are not terribly well known, but it is not their fault.
Terms such as "well known," "common," "popular," and "famous" are famously well known as relative in Wee Willyville.
I might even submit it.
Yeah, MJ, well-known, hmmm? Plus, hard to get lots of geologists to give up the Quaternary in our hearts ;-).

DeleteInteresting that the plate tectonic theory is only about 100 years old - any kid could see how nicely the continents can cuddle, especially the Americas and Africa.
Rhode Islanders are proud of their rock formation out of Africa.
Oh, eco, I ought to let it drift. . . But, technically the hypothesis of continental drift is around hundred years old and is generally credited to Alfred Wegner in 1912 (though it was briefly noted and dismissed in the 16th century.)
DeleteThe mechanism of plate tectonics , including sea-floor spreading, was proposed and widely discussed in the 1950's, debated in the 1960's, and widely accepted in the 1970's. Maps of the seafloor were the key to understanding the mechanism of lithospheric plate movement.
And all for something kindergartners easily see, as you say, with Africa and SA cuddling. . .
A fair correction, I'll let it slide.
DeleteI remember hearing the debate in the late 1960's (just after kindergarten); and yes, better mapping of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge shows the "continental spooning" (new phrase) even better.
I guess the polyamorous continents just couldn't last, then as now.
I hope "continental spooning" takes off, eco. Poly-America-rous, too! ;-)
DeleteHaving Tanya Atwater as a role model in the late 1970's was great. Her computer-animated plate tectonics models were ground-breaking (pun intended).
^^^^ The missing link
DeleteDo you know Louise Kellogg at UC Davis?
DeleteNot quite the pioneer that Atwater was, her big early research was on the convective mixing of the mantle. And I always thought The Mantle mostly had mixed cocktails.
eco,
DeleteI'm surprised you are not aware that most of the Kellogg's are flakes.
I have read her work but don't know her personally.
DeleteI did mostly oil and gas research in the 80's and '90's (geophysics, geochem, Landsat analysis, and paleontology) and not as much tectonic work.
Convective mixing is a hot (and cold) topic,though!
SDB: and like the continents, most skydivers have had a big falling out....
DeleteWW: Would have been an odd coincidence; we were friends wayyyy back as undergrads, and she scoffed when I told her I was moving to quaky/ flaky California. A few years later I ran into her on the Streets of San Francisco; she was at Cal Tech and happily didn't get Malden the '94 Northridge quake.
We tend to be down to earth folk.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMy comment referred to the fact that most continents are contiguous land masses with other continents. Europe and Asia are unquestionably one land mass, divided more by political lines than geographical ones. Africa is less obvious, but it does touch Eurasia. Hence why our ancestors were able to walk out of Africa into Eurasia. North and South America are also a single land mass connected by the small Central American strand of land. But, one could, if so inclined, drive from Alaska to the southern tips of Chile and Argentina. So, by that logic, the four continents would be Afroeurasia, the Americas, Antarctica, and Australia. Since the notion of a continent is mostly political, I usually refer to the continents in more conventional terms, which makes for easier conversations (not that continents come up in conversation that often.
