Final Final Final Answer...HeHe
Thanks Mullac, I love a challenge!! My only problem was that Jackson 5 clue. I searched every way I could, changing words, but never searched with just the "5" (-Jackson part) along with the others. Hugs smile


ALL the CLUES = Polyhedra or Polyhedron

A polyhedron with 12 faces is

DODECAHEDRA
or
DODECAHEDRON
......whoopsie....

well well you're right well done

the clues:-

Michael was in this group
ANSWER JACKSON 5 --- 5 is the clue

greek philosophical love
ANSWER PLATONIC LOVE - in its modern popular sense, is a non-sexual affectionate relationship, It is derived from the concept in Plato's (a greek philosopher) Symposium, of the love of the idea of good which lies at the root of all virtue and truth. Platonic is the clue

my parrot has left
ANSWER POLLY GONE which sounds a lot like POLYGON which is the clue

not a gas ,not a liquid
ANSWER SOLID , there are only 3 states of matter - gas , liquid and solid

phrase "Time to ---- the music"
ANSWER FACE simple old phrase

not the flying type , not the ordinary type
ANSWER PLANE not aeroplane or plain PLANE is the clue
all the planes (or sides ) are the same


final clue:-

don't count Judas
ANSWER 12 there was actually 13 apostles , Judas was replaced by Matthias so don't count him

so if you typed 5 platonic solids into google you would have come up with

Tetrahedron - 3 faces
Cube - 6 faces
Octahedron - 8 faces
Dodecahedron - 12 faces
Icosahedron - 20 faces

so Patty is the winner Dodecahedron , a platonic solid with 12 faces is correct

The Platonic solids feature prominently in the philosophy of Plato for whom they are named. Plato wrote about them in the dialogue Timaeus c.360 B.C., they are those solid objects whose sides are made of a unique regular polygon


see told you's it was easy
