The Rules
1. I'll give you a cryptic clue. Your job will be to decode it. 2. The cryptic clue may use an arcane code or a code you might already be aware of. Your challenge will be to pick the right code to crack open my cryptic clue. You can take the help of the net to get up to speed about the arcane codes. 3. Usually, the level of difficulty might offer you a hint about whether to use an arcane code or not. 4. There are many levels of difficulty. The highest level is called codi5 you can't crack it. The level of difficulty will be indicated using tags. 5. You get a day to solve a puzzle. The first person to crack a puzzle gets 5 points or a fiver. Sometimes, I might use my discretion and award 10 points to the deserving. 6. Puzzles that haven't been solved will be labeled as Unsolved. The answers for the same will never be disclosed.

ReplyDeleteSRIHARIKOTA

brilliant guess. better than my answer. i have to give you a fiver for that.
ReplyDeleteHappily accepted. :-)
ReplyDeleteWill I get 5 more if my guess matches the actual answer?
ReplyDeleteJava?
ReplyDeleteWiki says Oak is a programming language that evolved into Java...so Oak is the green or raw version of Java?
Green Java = Oak; and not the other way around no?
ReplyDeleteThe more probable way to look at it would be the fact that Java as a language evolved from 'Oak' and Java as a software platform evolved from 'Green'.
Zep gets 2.5. So does Nimish.
