New page:

1. Arab handmaid ate Jewish pastry- the upset without 440 produced a fiend
2. Get out? Nein! He's backwards!
3. BEREN: Remember England; he was in there.
4. Bluetooth gets garbled after tea, so you'll have to unscramble him
5. MAEDHROS: He's like, "Crazy beach, crazy!"
6. MAGLOR: Glam rocker without even thinking- he was the first and might be the last
7. Key crew! Activity will reveal him
8. He's a dunce on one side

Challah and rugelach are Jewish pastries mentioned in the bible.

Bilhah was Rachel's handmaid.

You're at least heading in the right direction.......

And 440 seems to be A.

Hagar was Sarai's handmaid.

The biblical term often means concubine.

And 'pilegesh' is the Hebrew word for concubine.

Balcmeg does contain BAGEL, but I doubt CM satisfies the remaining clues....

Urwen · 05-10-2019, 11:07 AM

Based on Pervinca's reasoning, Grishnakh?

Urwen · 05-10-2019, 11:09 AM

Or Shagrat, whose name contains HAGAR.

DING DING DING!

HAGAR + KNISH - A

1. GRISHNAKH: Arab handmaid ate Jewish pastry- the upset without 440 produced a fiend
2. Get out? Nein! He's backwards!
3. BEREN: Remember England; he was in there.
4. Bluetooth gets garbled after tea, so you'll have to unscramble him

FWIW, I believe to the best of my knowledge that these 8 individuals are the only characters in Tolkien who fit this pattern

I still don't see the theme. As far as I know, those four have nothing in common......

Pervinca Took · 05-10-2019, 11:19 AM

I'm intrigued by 440 ... it's 'page not found,' isn't it? How is it also A?
