I found another, and I think it's the tough one. Crouch/Rookwood/Gibbon/Nott: all death eaters in the Harry Potter series -Gibbon -Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Jr. -Nott Sr. -Augustus Rookwood Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Harry_Potter_characters The names needed deciphering, so I looked them up and found connections to Harry Potter. I better step back and let others participate now. I don't want to take everything. Although I believe I have only one guess left for today anyway so I might as well use it if I have the chance.

Correct combo, with correct reasoning .So, you've managed three main combos, and you've got the reasoning for two of them. You're on a roll today! (And you still have 1 guess left too) |

Just guessing the reasoning for can/have/must/know... we have infinite guesses for reasons, right? Doubt this is right, but I'll give it a try nonetheless. They contain other words inside them. -can/an -have/ha -must/us -know/now |

@Adam: Yes, you do have infinite guesses for the reasoning. That isn't it, though. @PL: So close! Sadly, one of those isn't in the combo. |

glyceride/ordinate/colour/pod All can have tri in front If this is right, please give the reasoning points to PL since he really figured that part out. That's my last guess for today. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jun 21 2012, 08:38 PM.

PL's version of the combo (with 'Tribe') was correct. It was also the one I couldn't get - so 40 points for the reasoning, or 55 in total! Adam, you've already used your five guesses for today, so I wouldn't have been able to allow it in any case. PL still has three guesses (I thought he'd used more, but apparently not....) |

I thought I had one guess left? My last guess (before that one) was just a reasoning. Not that it matters anyway, but just checking... Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jun 21 2012, 09:24 PM.

That's actually almost a group, but the reasoning is totally different. I'll give you 15 points for an invented combo. |

Good, but unfortunately, not the reasoning given. However, it's perfectly valid reasoning, so I'll get Penguin to look at it, and see whether she accepts it. |

candle/gateau/cat/shadow: a birthday for your favorite cat named Shadow Not sure if this counts as an invented combo or not: Be/Water/Glyceride/Lime: all chemical elements and reactions learned in chemistry class -Be: beryllium -water: H2O -glyceride: esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids -lime: calcium containing inorganic materials Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jun 22 2012, 02:13 PM.

The first one was just a joke, although I wanted to see if the combo really fit. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jun 22 2012, 03:30 PM.

Hey PL, can you show me who Cat is? I've never heard of him/her. I'm interested in knowing. (sorry this part is off-topic)

Ah, okay cool. Never seen him before. Great combo. Marine/jet/spear/water: military tactics? "Spear" would indicate penetration. Sorry for double post. Edited by thecostumedanceparty, Jun 22 2012, 09:55 PM.
