Title Search
Our 14th Kappa Puzzles Online Contest closed May 31, 2008. A new contest will appear soon. Here was the challenge:
We started with the titles of eight major motion pictures released in a two-year period. Then we went to town with our thesaurus to exchange each word in these titles with a synonym—not necessarily maintaining the sense of the word. Your task is to recover the original titles and determine the two-year period in question.
1. Dispatch
2. Fiddle Floor
3. Irrigatemacrocosm
4. Mash Myth
5. Nonconformist
6. Preciousogle
7. Straight Inventions
8. Vermilion Flux
The answers were:
1. Speed
2. Toy Story
3. Waterworld
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Maverick
6. GoldenEye
7. True Lies
8. Crimson Tide
The two-year period was 1994 and 1995.
