salt water buffet considers:


Relative humidity, transfer matrix

Café in a science building only serving squashed food

Very low ceilings in a library

Pro rata

I for indigo, T for tango

Split ends, banana split, orange supreme

Nasty piece of work

Hygiene factor

7 of cups/page of wands

High emotions with special answers

A foil imprint with rocks embedded

Pest sitting, kissing babies, swallowing pocket vegetables

A luxury mood ring

Sculling water but swallowing air instead

Liquid stars in the Haunted Cupboard

I seem to have lost all my baby lemons

Infinite sinking

Pimple patches arranged in the sign of the cross on my face

Leave your rubbish outside the door but you can bring it inside if you like

Chain of hearts, chain of frogs, chain letters
