Before bed yesterday I worked on an old New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle, as I do most nights. The gimmick in this one was that the themed answers were combinations of college or university names. For example, when the clue was "Whole-grain food," the answer was "BROWNRICE." When the clue was "Specialist in a duck blind," the answer was "DRAKEHUNTER." Got it?
OK, now the one for you to solve is this: "Got lucky at poker." The answer has ten letters. Scroll down for hints if you find that you need them. I'll post the answer in the comments section in about 24 hours if nobody else has done so by then (though that seems highly unlikely); don't look there unless you want to see the answer.
HINT #1: One school is in New Jersey, the other in New York.
HINT #2: The first name is four letters, the second six.
HINT #3: The first one starts with D, the second with Q.
Drew Queens?

ReplyDeleteWell, as a North Jersey guy, and even before your hints, the first word has to be Drew. I got the second word with your hint. Lets just say that quad aces has nothing to worry about.
ReplyDeleteTook me all three hints and still needed to look up the first school to be sure since I had never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteDrew Queens?
ReplyDeleteYes I did have to google for the NJ school.

ReplyDeleteOops, I read too many hints (would have preferred to solve it without any of them)...
ReplyDelete[USELESS] HINT #4: The first is also a nickname obtained by removing an article, while the second can rule the board.
