No to all.

I'm off to bed now, so I won't be able to answer any questions until morning (yawn).

Hint: think about who sent him the arm.

Sent from the arm-y?

I think orlok's going to end up having to flip all the cards over and give us the answer, which will probably be so simple we'll all rush out and bang our collective heads against the nearest tree.

That's what I'm thinking, too. We'll need a very thick and stable tree!

Okay, orlok, let's get on trying a few things:

Is the man a scientist?
Does he get arms regularly?
Or was this the first and only time that he received an arm?
Does a pathology send him the arms?
Was a ring on one finger?

And yet another idea: Was it a "false" arm? A false arm in the meaning that some kind of a sign like a tattoo or so was missing so the dead person (I assume the armless is dead) could not be his wife or someone else important to him and that's why he smiled.

The suspense is killing me!

Cheers.

Do I reveal all, or do you want another clue...?

Here's a hint: he was sent the arm by someone who also only has one arm.

Announcing a new member of the gang!?

Stitchawl · 07-16-2011, 08:55 AM

Was this 'arm' akin to a human apendage 'arm,' or was it a fire arm? i.e. weapon?

Just an ordinary flesh and bone arm.

Stitchawl · 07-16-2011, 08:35 PM

Sheesh! We've never had a problem like this... I've been wracking my brains trying to come up with some real sideways ideas, and getting nowhere fast!

I tried sideways thinking so hard - I fell off my chair!

If your chair had arms (hee-hee) you would have difficulty falling off sideways!
