It might have to do with EQ's release date. I don't care to think that much beyond that.

The answer is UO, or Ultima Online.

EQ's official release was March 16, 1999. Ultima Online came out September 24, 1997. I put the month first, year, then day.

Here's another one:

64: chess :: 9 : ___________

The analogy does not require any information inaccessible to you.

Here's another one:

Counting : Addition :: Addition : _______________

azeth
06-20-2011, 11:19 AM
i : bkn :: y : _________

how about

I: BKN :: Y: XYZ.

I = 9, B+K+N = 27, 27/9 = 3

Y = 25, X + Y + Z = 75, 75/25 = 3?

Only hint I can give is that it's not alphanumeric.

I admit it's a difficult one requiring a high verbal IQ.

In the future I'll include difficulty from 1-5. That one's a 5.

Try the other one, it's much easier (Lvl 1).

Also (Lvl 2):

addition : mutiplication :: multiplication : _______________

exponential?

WizardEQ

I would take that or exponentiation because every element of the analogy is a common noun.

Level 4:

A compound word is a word that consists of two separate words which put together produce the compound word. Examples are paper/clip and lady/bug. What compound word means exactly the same as each of the words that make it up?

[Hint: 4 letters, then 3 letters]

________ __________

This doesn't fit in with your hint, but it's pretty close:

Fore/front

**Edit**

I just went through a list of over 2000 compound words and I can't seem to figure out what word you are talking about. What the hell is it? I'm probably going to feel daft when you say it.

WizardEQ

I'd say fore/front is pretty damn close also. The only downside is that "fore" is typically used to refer to the front of a boat or ship. It doesn't have a "universal" meaning. The word I'm thinking of does, anywhere in the world.

Another hint: transportation, especially in a city.

Well yeah that works too, but if you are gong to argue that "fore" suggests boat, cab could also suggest the cab of a truck. Maybe it's a regional thing, but in Los Angeles I don't hear a lot of people going around calling a cab(taxi), but there are plenty of trucks with extended cabs or crew cabs or king cabs..

But I get your point.

Another, Lvl 3:

ONLY word in the English language that has the letters SPB in that order within it.

Correct the following by inserting the correct punctuation. Once you do so, the following will make perfect sense.

THAT THAT IS IS THAT THAT IS NOT IS NOT

Mostly correct. I prefer one sentence separately by a semicolon.
