You haven't said anything concrete about what it is you will do, and how we can measure whether your attempt is a pass or a fail. You didn't make a statement about *what the selected words are*, so how is your response any kind of useful prediction? If you're going to just waffle about how your phrases are somehow related to the selected words, that's not very impressive. There are all sorts of parlour games that make use of the fact that most people are very creative about finding connections between things. -- \ “Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which | `\ have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common | _o__) wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.” —Jack Handey | Ben Finney
