As Goldilocks said, find one just right from the list below. Ignore any variations of format. We will put the deadline at 7 pm tomorrow, Saturday, a mere 28 hours from now. Play fair and give me your best guesses. ###


1. A hint or indication.

2.  Bamboo dance

3. [Papua New Guinea Tok Pisin] the sound made by a bell.

4 [Billiards] A carom shot involving balls that are very close together.

5. a carved totem of the Athabaskan native people of Alaska.

6. A ground running bird similar to a rail; so called because of its song

7 A very vague hunch.

8.  A traditional festival celebrated in Mongolia, involving wrestling, horse racing and archery.

9. A light, repeated tapping or rustling made by small feet, leaves, or reeds.

10.  to adjust the pitch of a small metal chime by filing its edge in tiny, controlled strokes.

11 Glitter applied as a decorative coating.

12  An audio-compression device devised by Telefunken for the public-address system of the 1936 Olympic Games that served as a model for later radio-broadcast equipment.

13  Reflection of light off water that can bounce UV rays into the bodies of living things, increasing the chance of heat stroke even on cool days.

twinikling of an i" (Handel).
