You haven't been to bed yet? I just assumed you were now in your non-sleeping mode.

Did Ned expect he would get enough money to never have to work again? Does, does. Sorry, does he expect?

Is sis supporting him now?

[Unknown008]

Okay, no worries, I'll keep thinking :)

Is the choice of the job related to hubby? Related to Ned's sis?

Is the job's nature relevant? I mean, could he have decided to take some other job?

[morgaine300]

Is he living with sis and her hubby?

If so, is hubby going to end up kicking him out?

Is being a cars salesmen simply the only job he's able to get?

Versus. Did he pick used car salesman in particular for some relevant reason?

You haven't been to bed yet? I just assumed you were now in your non-sleeping mode.

No, not yet. I usually go to bed at 11, wake at 1:00 or 2:00 for an hour, and then get up between 5:00 and 6:00. For some reason, I'm just not getting sleepy. These games do that to me.

Did Ned expect he would get enough money to never have to work again? Does, does. Sorry, does he expect? Possibly - the puzzle doesn't specifically state that though.

Is sis supporting him now? No

[morgaine300]

Ha! Looks like we are now thinking along the same lines about the job.

[Just Looking]

Is the choice of the job related to hubby? Related to Ned's sis? Not sure how to answer this, but I would say it's related to the hubby. I may have to clarify later.

Is the job's nature relevant? Yes I mean, could he have decided to take some other job? He had a specific reason to take this job.

[Just Looking]

Is he living with sis and her hubby? No

If so, is hubby going to end up kicking him out? N/A

Is being a cars salesmen simply the only job he's able to get? No

Versus. Did he pick used car salesman in particular for some relevant reason? Haha - I was tempted to contradict myself, but then you'd be pulling your hair out. :confused:

[morgaine300]

Hmm, if he took (is taking) that job for some specific reason, I'm certainly not getting the connection, so I don't know that you should think we're ready to "get it any second." (Well, speaking for me anyway.)

In other words, if you feel you need to go relax so you can get some sleep, by all means do so.

I think I better go to bed. I don't want a relapse of the flu. See you tomorrow. :)

ETA: This game starts at post 393.
When Ned learned that his sister was dying, he decided to become a used-car salesman. How come?

[Unknown008]

I'll formulate it another then, maybe that's better?

Is hubby the reason he decides to take this job?

[morgaine300]

Is Ned protesting the will?

Is sis rich?

Are there any stipulations in the will before someone can get their share? (Something they had to do, agree to, etc.)

[morgaine300]

[morgaine300]

OK, Ned "decided" to become a used car saleman...

Is he doing this of his own free will?
Getting coerced?
Threatened?
All of the above?

Is there any significance in that he's becoming a used car salesman?

Are any of hubby's friends involved in this?

Do you remember what my other question was going to be?

[morgaine300]

Does Ned want to start his own business?

Will he be working for someone else? Himself?

Does Ned like cars?

Does hubby like cars?

Will hubby inheriit any kind of business?

Will anyone inherit any cars?

Does hubby already own a business?

Is something in Ned's life going to change because of his sister's death? (Other than typical grief - something that's relevant to this situation.) Yes.

We already know he will have an inheritance of some sort, and that he will becoming a used car salesman. Is there going to be some other change in his life other than these two things, because of his sister's death? (i.e. do we have yet another "change" to figure out?)

[adam_89]

Good morning everyone, although everyone is probably gone by now. I can play this one since I do not know the answer. Yay!

Is Ned's sister's car coming to the dealership?

If so, is there something about the car that only he knows?

If so, is there something in the car that he wants?

Is hubby also greedy?

[adam_89]

Does anyone in the family know about Ned deciding to take this job as a car salesman?

Or is he taking this job to have pity from his sister to get more money?

[Just Looking]

Is hubby the reason he decides to take this job? Yes

Is Ned protesting the will? No

How's about a recap:

Thanks. The last thing I remember thinking about before falling asleep is that I thought you'd do a recap. :)

OK, Ned "decided" to become a used car saleman...

Is he doing this of his own free will? Yes
Getting coerced? Threatened? All of the above? No, to all of these.

Is there any significance in that he's becoming a used car salesman? I was thinking about that, figuring the question would come. It could have been a new car salesman, but there is a reason "used' makes more sense.

Are any of hubby's friends involved in this? No

Do you remember what my other question was going to be? No ;)

Does Ned want to start his own business? No

Will he be working for someone else? Yes Himself? No

Does Ned like cars? Irrelevant

Does hubby like cars? Irrelevant

Will hubby inheriit any kind of business? Unknown

Will anyone inherit any cars? No

Does hubby already own a business? Unknown

Great. I was pretty sure that would be the case. I think it's a pretty obscure site. I tried googling a bunch of the questions from the site and none of them came up, so I was thinking you probably hadn't seen this site. :)

Is Ned's sister's car coming to the dealership? No

If so, is there something about the car that only he knows? N/A

If so, is there something in the car that he wants? N/A - but good thinking.

Is hubby also greedy? I have no reason to believe he is.

Does anyone in the family know about Ned deciding to take this job as a car salesman? No

Or is he taking this job to have pity from his sister to get more money?No

[adam_89]

Wow, I got absolutely nowhere. I had an idea that I was leading towards and now, I am lost. After reading all of this, I had those questions come up and was hoping I was in the right direction. This one seems like it will be fun.

[adam_89]

Is somebody's car coming to the used dealership?

Is there something relavent about one of the cars on the lot?

Is Ned wanting to sell a used car to his sisters husband?

Did Ned have something to do with his sisters death?

May have been asked, but did Ned hate her husband?

[Just Looking]

Either that, or you guys will be throwing stones at me. :D

As I told Morgaine, I picked out a few puzzles from this site. They all have 70-90 posts. I didn't take the time to read through the posts, just the questions and answers.
