Let's throw this in an explosive mix!

HEXUS.community member Hibby can take the credit for getting yesterday's HEXUS.pipeline but RedFlames and duc did pretty well with the clues. Here's today's teaser: A facade fixing lotions with almost Herculean numbers.

Watch the show.

Its the Foxconn DigitaLife A79A-S motherboard

Facade = synonym = disguise, guise, mask, pretense, = con artist leads me to think its another foxconn.

Herculean numbers = £200 huge price tag

[taowu]

Ahhh VictorE, you beat me to it.

Yeah I also think its a Foxconn DigitaLife A79A-S.

Though i'm still not 100% on it.

Well VictorE is correct but... he's nowhere near on the clues, sorry!

[sammyc]

Its the Foxconn DigitaLife A79A-S motherboard

A facade fixing lotions = anagram of Foxconn DigitaLife A__A-S...
Don't know why 79 = almost Herculean numbers (I was thinking 11; ie almost 12, the number of labours of Hercules.)

[RedFlames]

well 'analogue death' -> digital life... that's all i can amange today... my head is done in with uni work

[VictorE]

The destruction of Pompeii 79 AD and the city of Herculaneum maybe?

to add it was the 24th August 79AD so take the A from August A79AD

Explosive mix = Mount Vesuvius blew its top spewing tons of molten ash pumice sulfuric gas into the atmosphere?

[Nick]

Hehe, once again your combined brain power has done it.

sammyc got the anagram and VictorE got the explosive/Herculean references.

I always wondered when my Roman history would come in handy...

and here was me thinking it was one of those 'plane' based answers again..

almost herculean numbers.. have a look at what was on google. - search for hercules aircraft - 5th one down..



hercules aircraft.. and those numbers are almost what the answer was.. r7a9 = A79.. its almost right isn't it?

explosive mix - well when you see one of those aircraft coming towards you on a bombing run (dropping the explosives).. you tend to think "Aww Shi*".. letters A-S.

A79A-S.. i'll get my coat..


well done VictorE and sammyc.. the cookies are real tasty..

[VictorE]

ROFL i like your thinking Stevie check this out, before sammyc suggested Herculean numbers
which helped me. I nearly came out with this idea,

A facade = is generally one side of the exterior of a building,

fixing lotions = cement mix Bricks and Mortar,

Mortar = being another term for an explosive device hence Explosive Mix.

Absolutely nothing to do with the clue but Hows that for a brain fart? lol.

Now wheres that cookie i'm famished..
