I'm thinking of a rectangle.Q: Name two well-known colleges or universities from the same state. The last letter of one is the first letter of the other. Change each instance of this letter to the same new letter to get the names of two other well-known colleges or universities. What four schools are these?

I don't get Blaine's clue.
ReplyDeleteBut that's how it goes: each of us has to adapt ourself week to week.
Nice puzzle! Remove one letter from a college town name to get something connected to two of the school names.
ReplyDeleteFrom the first pair of colleges, take the one with the longer name. Remove a block of four letters. Rearrange. You get a food.
ReplyDeleteCheck your social security number.
ReplyDeleteOne of these might lead you to the Bible.
ReplyDeleteOr, today you could ask a Cardinal.
DeleteFor a couple of the schools, my dog sees a connection to last week’s puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI can see a connection to a puzzle from a few months ago.
DeleteWill included a hint.
ReplyDeleteMy initial guess, with the "slippery" college or university, was mistaken. But now I do have the intended answer. But as for a hint...
ReplyDeleteSome Final Fours in there...
ReplyDeleteI think I've got it. Then again, I did spend a year playing bass in the worlds largest rock band, long time ago.
