Question
I've answered 100 rebuses but these have me stumped. they are as follows:
HO
HIJKLMNO
ME NT
M
DISOHES
PAS
MOTH
CRY
CRY
CRY
ME QUIT
II II
O O
O-144
I think I'm pretty much stumped on these! Myself and some colleagues had a good crack at them without finding any answer that we were happy with. Here's a few thoughts that may help (or not):-
PAS - Short pass
ME QUIT - I give up
II II
O 0 - Four/for eyes
0-144 - gross? (I've seen JUST144ICE which translates to "gross injustice")
Pretty pathetic really.
If inspiration strikes I'll contact you again.
Bernard.

Please read my Policy Statement. Puzzles and brainteasers. Ask and I will help! That said, I`m best at pure logic puzzles. E.g. You have twelve apparently identical coins of which one is counterfeit, being either slightly heavy or light. Determine the counterfeit coin, and whether it is heavy or light, in no more than three weighings using a balance scale. Rebuses and riddles I`m less good at, but will generally get the answer given time. Requests for oddball facts (e.g. What was the second most common girl`s name in 1900? [genuine example - answer: Ruth]) I regard as outside my remit. However, you are welcome to ask, but I may not be able to help you.
