One and six sound very similar to me, but I'm going with ONE because I think six can refer to any movable part and one is specifically the hammering thingy that makes the bell noise.... could be wrong |

I agree that one and 6 are probably the same. Going to go with one.

One and six do seem to be the same thing. For some reason I don't think the noise/striking ones are right though.. Having a horrible time deciding which one is although I think it's either two or three.
It does sound sort of like one of those words that a Shakepearean insult generator spits out. Maybe someone else things that and thus made up the insults answer.
I think I'm going with #2

Amy and I came up with essentially the same definition. You don't know how much that frightens me.

You know, after I submitted my guess for this one, I realized that I actually knew what the right answer was.
Gotta figure out how to get my brain to work a little faster.
(And then I'll figure out how to get it to work a little better.) |
