PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS……OR ELSE I WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MIFFED, TO SAY THE LEAST! ?

Welcome back class, I hope you have had a good weekend.

It will be an easy week, all teasers in a similar vein.

Can you name this everyday object?

Be careful willa,MissMarydoll has an alarmingly accurate "striking distance"; as I know to my cost. rubs bum thoughtfully

willa45 Tue 26-May-20 23:47:11

Thanks for your posts Miss Doll and Feelingmyage. I never expected to get within 'striking' distance of the correct answer!

PS. I'll take the apple (and the grin)

Nortsat, you ain't seen nothing yet! ?

Nortsat Tue 26-May-20 21:58:38

I just made a second (incorrect) guess.

Now we have been given the solution, I have revised my opinion of you MD and I realise you are worse than wicked ... I suspect you were “born in a crossfire hurricane...”

Marydoll Tue 26-May-20 21:45:57

Willa ?grin

Marydoll Tue 26-May-20 21:44:36

I did see your pm Willa. However, you offered four options, so I was unsure which one was your final answer. wink

Feelingmyage55 Tue 26-May-20 21:38:39

I’m just sore that I didn’t get close. Tomorrow is another day. There was NO chocolate in my supermarket delivery ?

Feelingmyage55 Tue 26-May-20 21:37:15

willa. Pedantic comment
1. Buttonhole is a flower to gentleman or lady wear on lapel for wedding - can cause a lot of angst depending on how closely you stick to tradition. I have a wedding etiquette book - whole chapter on buttonholes. Nothing on how to keep the peace.
2 Buttonhole is the hole you put the button through. I have a sewing machine that makes nice ones?

So really the photo is of the holes in a button - but I’d accept your answer - see what Miss says. I think you’ll get an apple.

willa45 Tue 26-May-20 21:19:00

(Turning on the autocorrect.....)

Miss, would you check my answer? I had several guesses including one that said 'four button holes'. Does that count?

Good evening class, sorry to have made you suffer! grin.

Norsat, I am indeed a wicked woman, why did it take you so long to realise? ?
All that studying at the Machiavellian teacher training institute has paid off!
Wila, glad you made it!

Here is the answer.

Are you up for something similar tomorrow? wink
