I'm afraid not. It does have something to do with my past walls, though. Maybe I'll have to give a couple more clues. However, for one combo, I can't think of any clues that wouldn't be complete giveaways. |

I'll give that to you as an invented combo if you can explain how 'magnetic' and 'vessel' fit in. |

"Magnetic" often complicates airplane security testing because it can offset the metal detectors used when going on a flight. A sort of magnetic testing is done to search for weapons before entering the flight (or shall I say "vessel"). "Vessel" refers to the aircraft itself, and the ability to enter the aircraft after being tested by security. |

Thanks. I'm actually not 100% sure about the magnetic one, but it seemed fitting. "Vessel" in the sources I've used refer to an aircraft. |

Final clue - if I don't get any guesses within 24 hours, then I'm going to void this wall:

So is 'Ford' . Either way, it's a good invented combo. I think I'll give you the 10 bonus points for it, since it could easily have been a main combo.

Finite/Navy/Semantic/Magnetic - _____ Field Oddball is Navy, because all the others are separated from 'Field' by a space. |

Correct reasoning, but the combo isn't quite right. The combo and its oddball are open only to you for the next 24 hours (or 3 guesses). |

@Adam: TBH, I think that's a real stretch. Firstly, because 'dance' doesn't really qualify as a sport; secondly, because barking is only distantly connected to dog racing (both are things that dogs do); and thirdly, because I'm not aware of any plane races that have taken place from Heathrow Terminal 5. With only one of those problems, I could probably allow it as an invented combo, but with all three, I'm afraid it's too vague a connection. @Daniel: I'm afraid that's incorrect. |

It was only a joke. I have no sane idea what any of these combos are. |

@Adam: Well, I guess it was better than no idea at all, and therefore worth a try . I'll see if I can think of some more clues. @Daniel: Close, but also not quite correct. |

Again, not quite right. One of the words you're consistently using is in a different combo. Now that you've made 3 guesses, the 'Field' combo is open to anyone. |

Marshal/Semantic/Finite/Magnetic - Fields Also, oddball must be marshal as field comes before it, rather than after. Edited by Pyrite, Nov 30 2012, 03:20 PM.

Taking a risk, I see. Since that's your 5th guess for today, it would be a 10-point deduction if it wasn't the correct main combo. However, it was! |

Actually, counting my first guess (the invented combo), I think I've had six so far, so I should have had a 10 point deduction for the last one. |

Actually, you did. So, I'll deduct 10 points for that - but give them back since you got the oddball right .

Don't think I'd have got many of those. I'll try and do another wall sometime. |
