Well, tofu is made from soy which is one of the most genetically modified plants on the face of the planet. It and corn lead the way. Maybe that could be your excuse. I do like edamame beans every now and then.

As far as the puzzle goes...no idea. I'll think about it, but unless I get something stronger than this coffee than I won't be making the mental leap to figure out what phrase or set of things I am looking for.

What is the next letter in this sequence (excuse the large fonts)?

T, O, F, O, F, N, T, S, ?

Since I seem to have brought the thread to a screeching halt, perhaps I'd better take this time to admit that I threw out some red herrings to deliberately get you all off on the wrong track. Truth be known, forget everything else I said. Neither Toto nor tofu nor nutritious nuts nor funny fonts have anything whatsoever to do with this puzzle. This is all you need:

What is the next letter in this sequence?

T, O, F, O, F, N, T, S, _

I figured that out, but I still have no idea...

If I told you what the first letter stood for, you'd probably know what that entire series represents. You might not know off the top of your head what the next letter would be, but you could look it up easy enough.

And if you recognize what is being represented, I'll allow you to look up that next letter.

I guess it's a sequence of something like days of the week, months of the year etc. Just can't work out what grouping it represents.

I could have understood T O F O T U R U, but T O F O F N T S is just too much for even my gargantuan brain.

Fbone · 06-21-2013, 06:40 PM

The letter "F"

pdurrant · 06-22-2013, 02:15 AM

I'll guess "T". (But I don't know why!)

WT Sharpe · 06-22-2013, 03:27 AM

Fbone is correct and will supply us with the next question. But before you take it away, Fbone, would you like to tell the audience how you deduced that "F" was the correct answer?

Yes, exactly *taps feet impatiently*.

Would it help if I said the F that Fbone supplied stands for Five?

Here's a quiz that I didn't answer correctly.

Sherman, the nutty professor, gathered the class one day for an experiment. Sherman began, "I have in my hands a rock and a piece of wood. I am going to place them in this beaker of mysterious liquid, and you may observe what happens." Surprisingly, the rock floated and the wood sank! He turned to the class and said, "My question is: What is this mysterious liquid in the beaker?"

Do you know the answer?

Water?

If the rock is pumice, and the wood is a very dense one, the pumice would float while the wood sank.
