Puzzle Description:

Yes, a "wall wart"

#1: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 6, 2017

New term for my vocabulary. However, I am not anticipating working it into a conversation any time soon.

What Norma said. :D

What Kristen said. :)

Brian, please know that I do not mean this in a negative way. It just has to be said. You are a strange man. :)

There are quite a few weirdos in this community. <3

In what way? I think if you met me at a party, you might say to yourself "He's a fairly ordinary guy". 59, happily married, two kids in college, high school and college physics teacher, cyclist, astronomer, loves puzzles and bad dad jokes.

You have a very interesting way of looking at things. You see a plug and call it a wart in the wall. I mean nothing bad by it. It is simply different from the norm (normality is overrated). Your puzzles add an interesting flavor to this site. I could liken it to cilantro. You add an unexplainable tang to any dish.

Thank you. I didn't make up the term though.

I'd have to guess that most of us are introverts, so we have a much richer inner monologue (which spills out in a site like this), moreso than our public personae.

:)

I call them wall warts too. They were the bane of my existence for getting all of my electronics to fit nicely on a power strip until I discovered 4-inch-long extension cords. Those have made my life so much better.

I had not heard that term before. Really fun logic on this one.

Well said, Kristen. Thanks for the odd puzzles, Brian!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

Fun solve.

My Lithuanian-born wife calls outlets "electrical faucets"
:))

Love it, Bill. :)

I love the term, "electrical faucet," too, Bill! ...lol
