There is a word for that: Cryptomnesia


I’ve just looked it up. Sounds about right!

I have a feeling this might be a bit too hard, looking at it again.


Feel free to set another. Or provide loads of clues :-)

The reason I was thinking Zhang Anda was because of mice and cheese…

Gorge > Cheddar Gorge > Cheese

Something that assassinates or destroys cheese could be a mouse, and Zhang’s nickname is Mighty Mouse.

Interesting logic but not in the ballpark I’m afraid.

Additional clue:

Boxing Day

There’s a boxer called Ryan Garcia. But that’s taking me nowhere. Stumped!

No, it wouldn’t.

“Boxing Day” is a single clue. A big one.

Stephen Hendry

James Wattana?

From Thailand, where a tsunami killed over quarter of a million people on Boxing Day in 2004. There is a James River Gorge in Virginia, USA, and his father was murdered by an assassin in Bangkok.

Not Hendry or Wattana, without knowing Chengdu’s logic I’d say he’s along the right lines.

Boxing Day is St Stephen's Day, but I thought that would be too obvious.

Stephen Lee?

Correct!

As I said, Boxing Day is St Stephen's Day, so that gets the first name. The only other link I had was that one of the most infamous assassins has to be Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated John F Kennedy in 1963.

I thought I had one ready, but it turns out that it was not a reliable clue. I'll be back with another one soon.

Many people would gorge themselves at a feast. St Stephen’s Day is also known as the Feast of Saint Stephen.

We will never sleep, coz sleep is for the weak.
We will never rest till we're bucking dead.

Great song by Bring Me the Horizon called Diamons aren't forever back in 2008.
I remember about 7 years ago or so for one day I kind of mastered the screamo part but then I hurt my throat. Never really been able to do it ever since :sad:

Yes, sorry. Joe Johnson is, of course, absolutely correct.

I got Joe Johnson from Joe meaning coffee, and Boris Johnson being a columnist in the Spectator newspaper.

This one is a tough one, I think. I'm expecting requests for extra clues after a day or two, but let's see how it goes.

Not The Welsh Potting Machine.
I can see where you're coming from with the naked clue. How does Anne fit?
