Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly TRIAD: only for serious mindbending!

Okay, well, I'll assume 'tellers' was right'.

crabcakes
stuffing
liverwurst

Hint: the answer to this question has nothing to do with food.

Is nobody interested in this? Well, here's another hint, anyway:

I don't want to monopolize or hijack this thread with a definition of how to solve this particular example of hijinks. I know; reading this, some of you are sighing and some laughing, but the worst is over, so you can return to your previous states of calmness or even somnolence while I cease my prideful ways and defer this stupid conversation to a canopy in Afghanistan.

You have me stumped, even more so after this last hint.

Think a bit, would it be that they are spelt the same in the singular and plural form?

No, but you're on the right track in that you're thinking about the spelling of the words instead of the meaning of the words.

Ah - they contain three consecutive letters of the alphabet!

C'est correct.

Go ahead.

Galapagos
Egyptian
Texas

No takers yet, eh?

Hint: The fact that the middle one is "Egyptian" rather than "Egypt" is significant.

I figured Egyptian was significant, just not sure how.

types of turtles?

Close enough - tortoises. You go, Quis.

New Orleans
Chicago
Detroit

Homes of great soul/R&B/jazz/blues music?

That could be, but not what I am looking for. The linking thing is not limited to just these three.

Former homes of NBA teams, which are now homes to entirely different teams?

Not what I was thinking

It has to do with what is not listed

cities that were founded by the French?

Nope.

To furthe my hint, there is a complimentary triad that is not expressed.

Also New York City could also be added to the triad

Cities that are the most populous in their states, but not the state capital?

That is it. Also I would say that these cities are more well-known than their state capital.

Hmm...I wonder how many of the 50 states' capitals are their largest cities. I'm guessing less than half. Maybe I'll work it out and post the answer soon...

In any case, the new Triad is:

Peru
Mexico
Denver

All are cities or towns in Maine?

Right idea, wrong state - Maine has only two of the three.

I know New York state has at least two of those, so I'll guess NY.
