He had enough detail in his defense to deduct that he shouldn’t fear defeat.

Excellent work Melissa and Jared, but not quite what I was looking for. Can anyone do it in 10 words??
Love, Dad

Scott said...

Nebraska's defense deducted that detail is necessary to avoid defeat.

Now how do you like them apples? 8 words or less?

Chad Hatfield said...

Deduct behind defense, but defeat stepped on detail.

(translation from foreigner talk to English - They ducked behind the fence, but the feet stepped on the tail.)

Eight words!! Took me less than one minute, including the translation. And yes, I love apples.

Good work. I'm impressed, but still not quite right. Of course we can't can't accept any slur against Nebraska as an appropriate response.

Derek said...

Defeat is certain if you deduct detail from your defense.

Derek said...

FYI -
You deduce an interpretation of an observation, you do not deduct it.

What is this - some kind of IQ test? I think I'm better off just staying out of it.

Danielle and Derek said...

gDanielle deducts Derek's dorky defense during dominating defeat - details disclosed.

ronandlindahatfield said...

What was that Derek ? You can seduce an interpater or an observator if you dont deduct it on your taxes.Is that what you meant? I guess I grew up in a whole past generation than the boys ! Dad

Heather said...

My defeat will deduct the detail of my defense!

Jared and Melissa said...

It doesn't matter if it wasn't what you were looking for. We met all of the qualifications and submitted our answer first. We win!

How much do we get?

Danielle and Derek said...

During a card game defeat, you can get others on the defense by simply sharing too much detail about falling in toilets while deducting the reality of smelling like human waste and rather stating emphatically that they smell like a rose.

Buffy says;;
A deduction in your defense will allow your friend to smell detail and defeat.


This is a hint.
