Well done!! There was a sneaky clue in my previous post (" a bit of thought").
The following sentence contains 9 of the possible pronunciations; "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed." I can also think of the "ock" sound (as in the Irish variant of the Scottish "loch", "louhg"). Take it away Javed. |

Yes, that word (thought) is what gave me the idea, as well as doughnut.

My mind was heading in a totally different direction. No matter how many times you said '4 letters,' my mind kept telling me, '4 sounds from the same letter.'
OK... on to the next question. Javed... do us! Stitchawl |

New Quiz
A man was found shot dead in his home. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered? |

Someone needed to be there to turn OFF the recorder... A dead man can't do it himself.

He would have dropped the gun if he shot himself?

Oh... I really don't want this to be the correct answer...

The gun in his hand had not been fired. (THis is a last ditch attempt.)
