A funny/punny answer for clue 17 Across (indirect clue - needs lateral thinking) in today's (9/27/2016) Washington Post crossword puzzle:

(US)Constitutional justification for sleeveless garments? (15 letters )

[ The answer is a phrase - - the number of words in the answer is not indicated in the clue itself—so a one-word clue can mean a multiple-word answer]

Mouse over after Answer to look at the answer
Answer: Right to bare arms (Play on Words from Right to bear arms )

A funny riddle now.

Do you know how the phrase 'ee adichchAn copy' came into existence?

Assuming that at least one in this august forum likes word plays and crossword puzzles, here are a couple of clues:

Source: Chronicle of Higher Education October VII , 2016 - Theme of the puzzle: Caeser Cipher

Across:
17. 4? (15 letters , 2 words - The first word has 11 letters)
47. 105? (14 letters, 2 words - The first word has 8 letters)

[ ? means out of the box thinking along the theme]

Since the theme is Caeser Cipher - Clues refer to Roman Numerals.
17. 4? - Roman Numeral IV abbreviation for Intravenous - So the answer is Dehydration Cure
47. 105? - Roman Numeral CV abbreviation for Curriculum Vitae - so the answer is Detailed Resume

It is a bit unfair for me to pose these as stand alone questions - As in crossword you have multiple clues (and you can infer letters and then guess word/phrase from partial letters)

No answer for 'ee adichchAn copy' so far!!

This is what I have heard when I was a kid.

One boy used to copy answers for problems from his friend's note book. One day, when the friend closed his note book,

a fly (ee) got stuck, died and dried. This boy after copying that page, went in search of a fly, killed it and stuck it in the

same place as seen in his friend's note book. :thumb:

P.S: In our dear forum, lot of ee.a. copies are found with the same color / big fonts, with the SAME spell errors!!

I adapted from Weekend Edition Puzzle from Will Shortz (given 2016-10-16)

Take the digits 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, in that order. Using those digits and the two arithmetic signs — plus, times — you can get 38 with the sequence 5 *(4 + 3) + 2 +1. What is the largest number can you get using the digits 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 in that order along with the two arithmetic signs? You can group digits with parentheses, as in the example. There are no tricks to this, though.

 

[Raji Ram]

If times is allowed inside brackets then it is (5x4x3x2)+1=121

If + only is allowed inside brackets then it is 5x(4+3+2+1) = 50

 

[mskmoorthy]

There are no restrictions on operators and parentheses (you can have any number of parentheses)
Hint: It is more than 121

 

[Raji Ram]

Is it 5*4*3*(2+1)=180

 

[mskmoorthy]

Is it 5*4*3*(2+1)=180

RIDDLE

I am a range of lengths of waves
Or else how often, marching, braves
No war but brings up spirits as in school,
And not at all small, find that you'll
Seem quite together, not a pop it has
But all that jazz.

WHAT IT IS?

 

[Raji Ram]

Answer please, Dr. Dinesh! I have :noidea: .

 

[mskmoorthy]

Waves refer to radio waves - Band (of Frequencies)
Marching -- Band (Marching band)
Spirits in School - (school) Band

So the answer is : A Band
