In which order of these...

Leo, an animal, a book, an item in the title of the book, an object from inside the item, a form of the object worn for special events or at work as part of the job, a form of this which is contraction of the English words, a specialization of this contraction, a subset of this specialization which are referred to as something which the word looks very similiar to a term used in currency.

Answer this question

Well, perhaps the rest of these will only be solved as a group effort. On this one, we go from Leo -> Lion -> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe -> wardrobe -> clothing --?--> uniform, and then... I'm lost. Anyone? - Nunh-huh 01:27, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A uniform is one kind. A suit is another form. There is one more that everyone wears on a particular night of the year. -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
A puzzler. clothing -> custom dress -> costume -> ? - Nunh-huh 28 June 2005 11:27 (UTC)
Costume is part of the answer. --AllyUnion (talk) 28 June 2005 11:37 (UTC)

Part of the answer?

[edit]

Leo, an animal, a book, an item in the title of the book, an object from inside the item, a form of the object worn for special events or at work as part of the job, a form of this which is contraction of the English words, a specialization of this contraction, a subset of this specialization which are referred to as something which the word looks very similiar to a term used in currency.

Hmm... Leo seems to be referring to a lion. The only book (besides The Lion King (which wasn't a book, was it?)) I can think of with lion in the title is CS. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. It obviously isn't the witch (not much inside her!), so it is the wardrobe. What's inside a wardrobe- coats? Then uniforms- at this point I'm confused. Am I on the right track? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

P.S. WikiFun is not only fun but time-consuming!

How about tuxedo? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
See my note above. Suit/Tuxedo is the same thing. Try thinking something unusual. -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:27, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think Cosplay is the next part, as it's a contraction of costume and play...

I have it

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe -> Wardrobe -> Clothing -> Costume -> Cosplay -> kigurumi -> dollers

Btw, since I haven't registered for WikiPedia, is it okay if I just use the name Solo Maxwell when I answer?

Come back, register, and explain your answer. --AllyUnion (talk) 6 July 2005 02:13 (UTC)
Alright, I got The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe because it was the only book I knew that had a lion (leo representing lion, of course), as well as something that could be a container. Wardrobe was the only thing that fit later on that could have objects inside of it. Wardrobes are used for storing clothing (although they can be used for other things). After that I had a bit of trouble, but I eventually found it with a bit of searching and work (and looking at your previous hint >_>). From there, cosplay is a contraction between the words costume and play, and is a type of costume. Kigurumi, is a specialized type of cosplay, while doller is a specific type of kigurumi which sounds like the economic unit dollar. --Solomaxwell 04:58, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Use ~~~~ for the timestamp. And you are correct! --AllyUnion (talk) 6 July 2005 04:35 (UTC)

Why hasn't this been "answered" and points been awarded? Just curious sars 09:58, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
